The Top 8 Labrador Retriever Breeders in Colorado

1. Heatherdowns Labradors

Heatherdowns Labradors

  • Franktown, Colorado

This kennel has been breeding and raising Labrador Retrievers since 2001. They strive to raise dogs with sharp intelligence and high trainability. All their dogs receive health clearances before being bred, ensuring that their puppies are healthy and less prone to genetic conditions.

They even provide a 100% money-back guarantee and a 30-month written health guarantee on their puppy’s hips, elbows, and eyes.


2. Albrecht Farms Labs

Albrecht Farms Labs

  • Parker, Colorado

Albrecht Farm Labs breeds dual-purpose hunting and companion animals. They do not breed for the show ring, which makes their dogs a bit cheaper than others. However, they do focus on temperament and health, as these two factors are essential for companion animals.

They socialize their puppies from the day that they are born, and they provide a 100% money-back health guarantee. They also provide a 26-month guarantee on their dog’s hips, eyes, and elbows.


3. Bear Creek Labradors of Colorado

Bear Creek Labradors of Colorado

  • Northwest Colorado

Like many breeders on this list, Bear Creek Labradors produces dogs for companion and hunting purposes. Their dogs compete in field trials and other hunting tests. They also breed gun dogs.

All their puppies are put through a complete socialization program so they are friendly and ready for their new homes. They also provide a guarantee on their puppies that is similar to that of many other breeders.


4. Colorado’s Finest Kennels and Ranch

Colorado’s Finest Kennels and Ranch

Their kennel is licensed by the Colorado State Department of Agriculture.


6. Sadona Labrador Retrievers

Sadona Labrador Retrievers

  • Northern Colorado

This is one of the few kennels on our list that actively shows dogs in the show ring. They have been breeding dogs since 1968, far longer than most kennels out there. They have produced championship dogs in both America and internationally.

While they focus on showing dogs, they do strive to produce dogs that make good family pets too. They produce three Lab colors: black, chocolate, and yellow.


7. Evermor Labradors

Evermor Labradors

  • Denver, Colorado

Evermor produces English Labrador Retrievers, which are slightly different temperamentally from American Labradors. Their dogs actively compete in AKC shows, and they genetically test all their dogs before breeding.

They don’t produce puppies often, but they do occasionally breed a litter or two.


8. Columbine Labradors

Columbine Labradors

  • Columbine, Colorado

This kennel takes care to socialize their dogs from birth. They have four children, so their dogs are well-socialized with children at the very least. Their breeding dogs have their OFA certifications and undergo yearly eye exams.

While their Labradors are show dogs, they strive to produce pet-quality dogs too.

Summary

The Labrador Retriever is an incredibly popular breed. While that means you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a good breeder, you are also more likely to come across many backyard breeders. Dogs from these places can inherit various health problems and genetic conditions due to the disregard for proper breeding standards. Always seek out high-quality breeders who take care of their dogs, both before and after breeding.
