Duck Pond Farm English Labradors
Meet the breeder
I'm Heidi H., the breeder behind Duck Pond Farm English Labradors located in South Carolina. Owned and operated by veterinarians! Canine health is our number one priority. Our dogs are our family. They are kept in a 2-acre fenced play area during the day, and housed in our brand new air-conditioned barn in the evenings. Our dogs receive all-day human interaction, exercise, and large open green space to play, including two large ponds to swim and practice retrieving. Our dogs are all routinely health tested to ensure they are in optimal condition and free of parasites. Our labs come from a long line of successful champions from the storied Greenbriar Plantation in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Our dogs are capable of being elite hunting dogs or companions for families with children, or both! They have a calm, nurturing temperament at home, but can turn on the retrieve button when asked.
