I'm Toni K., the breeder behind Crest Kennels located in Oxford, MI. We breed quality Labrador Retrievers with a focus on health, great temperaments, and to breed standard. In order to start our puppies off on the right paw, we begin training and socializing at a young age so they are set up for success in their new homes. We love our puppies and know you will, too!
