Meet the breeder
I'm Julie F., the breeder behind Forst Family Farms located in Lamar, MO. We believe that sometimes the most ordinary things can be made extraordinary simply by doing them with a Labrador Retriever. Greetings from The Forst family! We are a small family from rural southwest Missouri. My husband Brad and I live and work on our farm with our 4 hard working sons. We only own and breed our 1 female yellow Labrador momma dog, who is Gussie and our 1 male yellow Labrador Dog, who is Gritt. These 2 excellent dogs get to go everywhere with us from trail riding, to camping to the field. They both are lovely, calm and caring family pets. We really enjoy breeding them and having beautiful puppies. Both Gussie and Gritt have beautiful blocky headed , good tempered puppies that are socialized and played with often during the day. We love all of our pups! Our Gussie is OFA certified and all our pups will come to you up to date on all shots and dewormings and microchipped. Please contact me by message, email, text or phone call. I would love to help you find your forever puppy!

Forst Family Farms reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Labrador Retrievers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
