Goodwinds Labs

We breed for type, temperament, health, and companionship. We spend a lot of time researching pedigrees and information on dogs, including OFA, Heart, and Eye certificates, DNA etc. before breeding or blending a pedigree. We’re always trying to improve the breed by paying close attention to genetics, and we always breed with the intention of keeping a pup from every litter for ourselves.
We currently breed black and yellow Labradors, and have had chocolates on occasion as well. Our Labradors have big blocky heads with a stocky but athletic build. With amazing temperaments. Some of our dogs compete in AKC conformation shows. I have also donated pups to service organizations to help with the need of service animals for people in need. Some of my puppies go off to be many different levels of certified therapy dogs as well. I’m a member of the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac and I also do therapy work / reading programs with my dogs and puppies.

DAZZLE STRIKING A POSE

We’re not a large kennel; all of our dogs are house dogs and are part of our family. Our puppies are raised in our home as well. Our ultimate goal is to produce a beautiful, healthy, quality English type Labrador with an outstanding temperament who will make a loyal companion for many years.
'If you can’t love a dog like a family member, don’t get one. Because they only know how to look at you as a pack member and to them, that is family.'
