Ivy Leash Labradors
Meet the breeder
I'm Beth J., the breeder behind Ivy Leash Labradors located in Madison, IN. Breeding beautiful, healthy and well-mannered puppies is our passion. We thoughtfully breed a few litters a year from health and temperament tested English-type Labradors with exceptional pedigrees. Puppies come with a health guarantee and lifetime breeder support.
Q. & A. with Beth
Why did you start breeding?
Several years ago I rescued a black Labrador that was abandoned in a tobacco field. Toby loved our family well for 12 years. When he passed, we knew we needed another Labrador in our lives. It was Toby's love that inspired us to provide others with the same joy that he gave to us.What makes your program special?
What makes us special is our commitment to our puppy families as well as to improving the breed. Our dogs must meet/exceed stringent health and temperament testing before they qualify for our breeding program. If we don't expect a litter to be exceptional, we won't produce it.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 and a kennel on my property.
