OLD RIVER LABRADORS
OUR DOGS

The dogs below are our current breeding dogs. When selecting our dogs for breeding, great effort has been made to select dogs that come from beautiful, labradors whose parents are calm and smart and genetically sound. Many trips to many breeders were made to find dogs that would produce smart, fun, well mannered puppies. The lines of our breeding dogs include companion animals, hunters, and field champions. However, the temperament we strive for is a good dog who can be at home in the field, or in your living room. Each of our dogs has its very own child!

Like all of our dogs, Joxer loves the kids, especially our 11 year old, Helen.  He is her dog.    All of our dogs are OUR dogs.  They are our friends and pets and each dog has a child who constantly argues with the others over whose dog is best. 
Our puppies are held and loved by all of us.  They are not shy, and they love to be with people.
Tali is Ilsa's lovely chocolate lab. She has the best disposition and is so sweet. Tali learns fast and likes to please. She has passed all of her clearance tests and has Excellent Hips, normal eyes and elbows. She is genetically tested free from EIC, Nasal
parakeratosos, CNM, PRA, Degenerative myleopathy, and Hyperuricosurea.
