Meet the breeder
I'm Crystal B., the breeder behind Archer Lodge Labradors located in Archer Lodge, NC. We have been breeding dogs for over six years and fell in love with the breed after bringing home her first Labrador, Gracie, in 2019. That’s when we knew Labradors were something special. Each dog has a unique personality, and all interact daily with our children and their friends helping to raise confident, well-socialized puppies.
Q. & A. with Crystal
Why did you start breeding?
We initially got into breeding because we loved our two Labradors (Gracie/Duke) so much we wanted to breed them. From there we learned more and more about the breed standard and how to do things right from our wonderful mentors!What makes your program special?
What makes us stand apart is our determination to keep our line healthy and happy. Not only is health testing (Genetic Testing and OFA's.) important but so is socialization and temperament. We work hands on with all of our dogs and puppies to bring you the best of the best. We strive to bring healthy and breed standard Labrador retrievers to our customers.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 and guardian homes.

Labrador Retriever
About Moose
Moose is off of our yellow 90lb English lab, Gracie and our imported 65lb English lab, Luka. We fell in love with Moose because he was the crybaby puppy and even from a week old he wanted to be held. It never stopped! Moose is a big time cuddle bug and loves people! He has a BIG bark but wouldn't hurt a fly. He loves water, a little too much! If the hose goes on, he has to play in it! He protects us from animals on the TV and lives for food! I've never seen him turn down anything now that I think of it.
Great health testing

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Nicholas! Our beautiful black lab puppy is now 4 months old, and she has exceeded all of our expectations. Her shiny black coat, loving personality, and playful energy have made her the perfect addition to our family. She’s truly become my little shadow, always by my side, and we adore her! The breeder was wonderful to work with—keeping us updated on her progress before adoption, being flexible about the pick-up date, and always available to answer our follow-up questions. It’s clear they truly care about their puppies and their new families. If you’re looking for a reputable breeder who produces amazing labs, I can’t recommend Nicholas enough!

Nicholas was very responsive even with puppy updates and proving info regarding the puppies! My puppy Charlotte was described by my vet as everything she wants to see in a puppy! She is happy, friendly, and loving! She is a smart puppy as well, and everyone who meets her says she is just beautiful. If you are looking for an English Lab, I highly recommend Archer Lodge Labradors!

+5Buying a pet online is a nerve racking experience, but Nicholas was able to put me at ease by being very responsive and honest. There were some bumps in the road with delivery that were caused by outside influences, and Nicholas communicated with us every step of the way, which greatly helped to ease our anxiety. Charli “Sugarplum” has been a great addition to our family, and there hasn’t been a dull moment since her arrival. We are extremely happy with her and I’m glad I chose Archer Lodge Labradors.
