Meet the breeder

I'm Zach K., the breeder behind K4 Kennels- British Labs located in Blue Earth, MN. We offer top-quality British Labrador Retrievers. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament with a focus on strong hunting and retrieving pedigrees supported by generations of top-performing Labs in AKC, HRC hunt tests, and field trials. We are dedicated to providing puppy owners with healthy dogs that strive to please and become loyal family members!

Q. & A. with Zach

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My father bred Labs when I was growing up, so it felt natural for me to start my own program and continue on with the legacy. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.
  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are phenomenal sporting dogs and their hunting, dock diving, field training, and retrieving abilities are really strong in my line. In addition to their ability, I also place an emphasis on producing dogs with excellent health, structure, and temperament. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the British Labrador Retriever line!
  • 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 and a kennel on my property.

    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.

  • Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), D Locus (Dilute) DNA test
