I'm Sherry S., the breeder behind Island Labradors - Morgan Hill Farm LLC located in North Hero, VT. We take great pride in producing healthy, happy puppies who become wonderful family members! It is very important to us that our pups go to homes where they will live happy active lives full of love.
Q. & A. with Sherry
Why did you start breeding?
After being owned by one of the best yellow Labs in the world, I made it my goal to breed some Labradors just like her! All our dogs go back to Sc Backporch Oatmeal (Oats). I can't believe we've been doing this on a small scale now for 20+ years!
What makes your program special?
We prioritize first our dogs, and second, the people who welcome them into their homes. We do not have to advertise when we have a litter as referrals from our past clients and families send new clients our way!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
