Carter Labradors

Devon C.

Breeder of Dilute Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Devon C., the breeder behind Carter Labradors located in Belleville, MI. My dogs are bred for health, temperment, and intelligence. My goal as a breeder is to match the perfect pup with the perfect family. We take pride in our breeding program, only breeding the best; we are an improvement breeder. I never breed any carriers, and personally raise all the pups as my own babies. A Carter Labrador is more than just a pup. You also get weekly updates and professional baby photos, as well as lifetime breeder support. Many references available, as well, including my trainer, vets, and many past clients.
