BEL Labradors

Lyric S.

Breeder of Labrador Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Lyric S., the breeder behind BEL Labradors located in Michigan. We are huge animal lovers and have a special place in our hearts for our dogs. We want to provide top-quality beloved companions. Our puppies are raised with love in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to thrive with their new families. They are affectionate, intelligent, and cute as can be!

Q. & A. with Lyric

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It all started 10 years ago when we purchased our first lab as a couple. I had never owned Labradors but my husband had his entire life and was set on getting a chocolate puppy. I started helping him look and we found one about an hour from our home. We didn’t plan to be able to bring him home, but fate, and a breeder who saw the instant connection decided otherwise.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised indoors in our home and are accustomed to all the sights smells and sounds they might encounter in their new home. They are handled daily by people of varying ages and we use early neurological stimulation to help produce a well rounded dog.
  • 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.
