Meet the breeder
I'm April M., the breeder behind Deep South Labrador Retrievers LLC located in Cantonment, FL. We’re proud of the healthy, affectionate, and behaviorally well-rounded puppies we raise for other families to love! We keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.
Q. & A. with April
Why did you start breeding?
My husband and I started Deep South Labrador Retrievers because we absolutely love this gentle, intelligent, and social breed. We find it so rewarding to find forever homes for our puppies. It is like sharing a piece of our hearts!What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special because we produce just one litter at a time and spend an ample amount of time with our puppies, socializing them with sounds and introducing them to lots of people and stimuli. We pour our hearts and souls into their health and development and strive to deliver the best puppies we can. We are proud of what we do!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
