Meet the breeder
I'm Jessica D., the breeder behind FR Labs located in Britton, SD. We breed Labs & ECS for families, hunting, and competition. We only breed health-tested dogs from proven pedigrees that better the breed. We focus our breeding program on 1-3 high-quality litters per year. Our dogs are proven in the field and in competition. We strive for healthy, well-rounded dogs.
Q. & A. with Jessica
Why did you start breeding?
After college, we purchased our first Lab from health-tested, top field trial lines. We knew we had something special with that dog so we got her health tested, put titles on her, and found some great studs to match with her. From there, our program grew and we are now on our 4th generation from that original female.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. Our ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. We can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs. We love what we do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our English Cocker Spaniel puppies include black and white, black, blue roan, golden, lemon roan, orange roan, red, and red roan. Labrador Retriever puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Samantha R.
Verified owner · Mar. 2025
Jessica was so helpful and communicative. From the first time we messaged I could tell she truly cared for her pups and what homes they go to. She sent us pictures of Sweet Pea and gave us some helpful tips when we picked her up. Getting Sweet Pea was truly life changing and I cannot thank Jessica enough for helping bring her into our lives.
