I'm Cheri L., the breeder behind High Life Retrievers located in Neosho, WI. We are dedicated to raising and breeding high quality British Labradors.

Q. & A. with Cheri
Why did you start breeding?
We are very particular on the type of dog that we wanted to own and produce. I educate myself fully on the bloodlines and thoroughly check health clearances. I also won't breed to a dog that I have not met to verify structure and temperament.
Everyone loves their dog but not every dog should be bred. We need to better the breed.
What makes your program special?
I am dedicated to breeding beautiful, healthy, happy, athletically capable dogs that the average person can train.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
