OKE Labradors
Welcome
to our
Puppy Page
Our breeding program is tailored to the English Style Labrador Retriever. Through very selective breeding we have been able to produce healthy, beautiful puppies with calm, trainable dispositions that have grown to be wonderful show dogs, companions and therapy animals. Because our litters are carefully selected for the show ring in mind, it is not unusual to see older puppies available from our kennel. Each litter is produced with the hope and expectation our next Champion will be born. Therefore we might keep several puppies from each litter longer than the typical 8 weeks, sometimes several months, before deciding to place in a pet home. I understand the average family is not looking for a show puppy but there are several reasons you should be seeking a Champion pedigree with your next puppy. A puppy with a strong pedigree suggests that puppy is 'Quality Bred'. A pedigree with Champions or Grand Champions means your puppy comes from breed standard, conformationally correct, good temperament, genetically sound lineage. Not just two AKC registered animals bred to produce a puppy.
I can not talk enough about CONFORMATION! A dogs conformation is the foundation to a healthy, long life. Their conformation affects movement, balance, function and soundness. Conformation faults can and will impair soundness throughout their life.
The dogs chosen for our breeding program are tested for genetic issues through Embark Testing and cleared through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals.
All of our puppies are given age appropriate vaccinations, have AKC Reunite registered microchips and will be limited registered (NO BREEDING RIGHTS) with AKC. Our puppies come with a 24 month health guarantee against all genetic and hereditary diseases.
Our 8 week old puppies are $3400
We only breed Black, Yellow and Chocolate puppies.
Early Neurological Stimulation
Our puppies are born in the house where I can keep a very close eye on them. Starting day 3, we begin Early Neurological Stimulation. Studies have found there is a specific time period, early in life, when neurological stimulation has optimum results.
The benefits of early neurological stimulation include but are not limited to, Improved cardiovascular performance, Stronger Heart Beats, Stronger Adrenal Glands, More tolerant to stress and Greater resistance to disease. All key components to the success of our puppies.
As the puppies grow they will be moved to their indoor/outdoor living space. This allows the pups the opportunity to start moving around. They will begin to smell and hear other dogs, other animals and experience the world of noises. All key aspects to the success of your puppy.

Available Adults
*M.J. has a home pending*
I have a 2 yr old Chocolate female that is available.
-M.J.-
Please read all the info before contacting me.
M.J. is not spayed. She can go on a spay contract or wait until I can get her in to have it done. (likely around 3 months)
M.J. would appreciate a low key family. She is great with kids and other dogs.
Her rehoming fee is the price of her spay and health exam. Unless you elect to get the spay done and her fee is significantly less.
Her history: Her mother, I purchased from another breeder in 2019. She had 1 litter with an outside boy and we kept M.J. Her mother we placed in a home because she didn't 'LOVE' being a mother, plus she was on the shorter side of the breed standard. So she is now living her best life on a couch getting all the attention.
We recently took M.J. in to get all of her clearances and she passed with flying colors except she has one elbow that wasn't as perfect as we had hoped. When M.J. was a younger girl, she loved to play and jump off the dog play deck. Even though it's only 24" tall, we think that could have been the cause of the reformation.
After a long discussion with our vet, we decided that M.J. won't be a dog that should reproduce for our program.
Instead she should have a very long and active life with a family to love on her. We don't feel that her elbow will be an issue with a normal lifestyle.
She is a very pretty, masculine girl with a shorter, sportier build.
Please contact me if you are interested in M.J.

How to get on our waitlist
Go to UPCOMING LITTER page
Please contact me regarding the color/sex/temperment of puppy you are looking for so we can discuss the upcoming litter that will be best for you.
Pictured below are puppies from our 2021 litters and what we are expecting for our upcoming 2022/2023 litters. Most of our planned litters this winter will be repeat litters or siblings of repeat litters, therefore we have a very good idea of what to expect.
Our puppies are also started on NuVet Plus vitamins. We feel it is best to continue these vitamins throughout your puppies life. Click here for more info.
