Vancouver Island Labradors
We are taking a break!
We are not expecting litters now or for a while. You can still add yourself to our waitlist to be notified when are planning on another one but that won't be for a while!
For over thirty years we have been connecting Labrador Retreiver puppies and owners to create bonds that last a lifetime. People travel from all over Vancouver Island, BC and North America based on the reputation of our dogs. Our labs are large, friendly, working class labradors that are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club.
We are a Labrador breeder because we love these dogs, and know you will too.
Our Breeding Process
Health and Genetic Testing
All of our females are Canadian Kennel Club registered dogs. They all have passed their OFA testing. This means that our dogs are purebred Labradors and their hips, knees and elbows show no sign of genetic disease related problems. We take a lot of pride in the care we give our dogs and always do anything for them our vet recommends.

Breeding Selection
It is very important to us that we breed for healthy dogs! We breed for health and temperament qualities first and looks second. We go through a rigorous process to make sure the dogs we use are healthy, happy and that we keep the genetic pool very wide. One of they ways we do that is by mixing the two different styles of Labradors to get tall and sturdy built dogs.
Our dogs are large in size, eager to please, easy going, and have excellent health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your dogs American or English style?
They are both! We have mixed the two styles of Labradors over the years to get taller, heavily built Labradors with big heads. Our dogs are usually around 80 Lbs fully grown. We take great care in picking and pairing the breeding pairs to get healthy dogs with great temperaments.
Do you have any puppies available?
If we have any puppies available currently you can read about them in the available litters tab or in the store tab. If not please join the waitlist.
We don't do a traditional waitlist, we work on a first come first serve basis. So join our waitlist and you will be notified when we have available dogs. The dogs are put in the site store with colour and sex. Visit the How to Purchase page to learn more.
Saturna Island? Can we come visit?
Saturna Island is one of the Gulf Islands off of Vancouver Islands South East coast. You can visit us on Saturna Island by taking the ferry from Swartz Bay in Sidney BC. Clients and potential clients are welcome to book an appointment with us to come visit. Also for each litter we will pick one Saturday where we bring the puppies to Sidney BC where you can pick up your puppy. This way you do not have to make the trip to Saturna Island if you do not want to.
Do you ever have adult or senior dogs to adopt?
Rarely! However, once in a while we do have a adult dog to re-home. Part of our guarantee is that no matter what happens in your life we will take one of our dogs back if you can no longer keep it for any reason. In those cases we make sure to re-home our dogs to the perfect family. If you would to be added to our waitlist for adult dogs please contact us and let us know.
