Meet the breeder

I'm Michele S., the breeder behind Brownstone Labradors located in Moodus, CT. We're a small, home-based hobby kennel producing carefully planned litters of quality Labradors. Our goal is to breed exceptional puppies that are sound with the true Labrador temperament. They have the ability to excel in any venue, whether that be in the field, show ring, or at home as beloved family companions! I look forward to connecting with you!

Q. & A. with Michele

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I believe that purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the Labrador Retriever. I want to do my part to better the breed by producing exceptional puppies with a focus on health and temperament. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others!
  • What makes your program special?

    I am a premier breeder specializing in high-quality Chocolate Labrador puppies. I do not produce a litter unless my dogs are healthy, have the true Labrador temperament, and are phenomenal representations of their breed standard. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program. I would be thrilled to introduce you to your next beloved companion!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
