Garrett S.

Breeder of Labrador Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Garrett S., the breeder behind AZ Lab Lovers located in Waddell, AZ. With 14 years of experience, we provide families in and out of Arizona with healthy and well-tempered Labrador Retriever puppies. While in our care, puppies will begin the early stages of desensitization, by introducing sounds and environmental elements to promote situational awareness by interacting with us, our families, and of course our Labs! During the first 16 days, each puppy will complete the Early Neurological Stimulation.
