Meet the breeder
I'm Sandy S., the breeder behind Asher Acres Labs located in Tekonsha, MI. Hi! Thank you so much for looking into our Labrador Retrievers. We are a small breeding program with 3 females & 2 males. The puppies will typically be yellow. We love our labs personalities and stunning looks! They are perfect family dogs, and have great potential for hunting and show.
Q. & A. with Sandy
Why did you start breeding?
A friend of mine had a couple of really nice AKC labs that she was raising. She suddenly had to move several states away and I took over her business. I love my dogs and finding out more about what they like to do too. I enjoy the puppies, and I am continually learning how to raise them better for their future owners!What makes your program special?
We enjoy finding dogs with good genetics and breeding them to better the species. I also have integrated some of the Puppy Culture method and desensitization techniques. I enjoy communicating with and caring for the puppies during their stay with me.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Labrador Retriever
About Lylah
You just want to hug Lylah. She is so calm and sweet. I love to scoop her head into my hands and just give her a kiss. She looks at you with those adoring eyes and I just melt! Until, that is, till she gets outside. Then she turns into the playful, impish, lively girl that she is. Never crazy, she just has another side that is very fun-loving and certainly never boring! Easy to train and comes whenever I call.

+7Sandy, Asher Acres and the entire experience was wonderful for us. We love our puppy Cooper and although he’s not yet mastered all that he needs to be be a great companion, he’s well his way and feel like he came to us at 8 weeks old already w positive habits being passed o to him. It’s made training much easier and he’s a sweet puppy. I would highly recommend Sandy and her Labs. Wonderful for us 🙏

Sandy has been so kind and helpful. Unbelievable response time in answering questions. Truly, she has a motivation to respond or reply, but many people don’t. I would recommend her every time if asked. We pick Nilla-Vanills Ice Cream up on Saturday and look forward to meeting Sandy in person. If you are looking for a breeder that is the real deal, don’t look anywhere else. Get in touch with Sandy.

Adding a new lab to our family was a big decision for us and part of that came down to choosing the right breeder. Much to our delight we found out that Asher Acres was expecting a litter. We already have an amazing lab that we picked up from Asher Acres in September 2018. From the very first contact Sandy was warm knowledgeable and passionate about her labrador retrievers. She seemed to want to make sure that the pups went to the right homes. At pickup we noticed the pups were raised in a clean, spacious and stimulating environment. The pups were very clearly well-socialized and most of all loved. The communication process was top notch. We received regular updates and pictures and videos if requested. Our experience was everything we hoped for. Poppy is now almost 10 weeks old and we are all in love with her!
