3 River's Outdoors Labs
Meet the breeder
I'm Chad O., the breeder behind 3 River's Outdoors Labs located in Primghar, IA. Our dogs are all bred for health and temperament. Our adults are health tested and clear panels. We want to provide you with that hunting partner, service dog, and family member.
Q. & A. with Chad
Why did you start breeding?
I have a deep passion for Labs. Looking at all the different colors, prices, and genetics I wanted a high dollar dog at an affordable price. After I researched, researched and researched, I finally found the lines I wanted and decided I wanted to provide a great quality pup at fair prices.What makes your program special?
We are a family breeding program. All our Labs are in the house. We like to have a litter a year/female. This lowers the stress on our girls and keeps our focus on quality. We've had a lot of pups go into service dog training and have been successful.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
