Meet the breeder
I'm Bailey P., the breeder behind Knotty Creek Labradors located in Sweet Home, OR. We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!
Q. & A. with Bailey
Why did you start breeding?
My family owned three veterinary clinics, which we sold after my grandmother passed. Growing up in that environment gave me a deep appreciation for animal health and care, and I’ve missed working with animals ever since.Breeding allows me to reconnect with that passion—especially through the incredible bond I share with my Labrador.My goal is to help others experience that same connection and joy.What makes your program special?
We follow multiple programs developed by veterinarians and behaviorists to ensure your puppy is raised with the best foundation possible—mentally, emotionally, and physically.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 guardian homes.

Kiba and River's litter
Bailey P.
Litter update on 15 Nov. •…At Knotty Creek, we’re firm believers that Labradors aren’t “just dogs” — they’re partners, confidants, and the definition of dependable. They show up with loyalty, humor, and heart every single day… qualities I’ll admit I appreciate more than what most humans bring to the table. This is why we prioritize ethical breeding, intentional temperament pairing, and raising puppies with purpose. Our goal is simple: produce companions who enhance the lives of the families who trust us, the same way Labradors have always enhanced mine. If you’re looking for a Labrador who will be more than just a pet, we’d love to connect.

Litter update on 18 July •…🐾 Five Weeks of Wiggles! The puppies are officially five weeks old and thriving! 🎉 This week they had their deworming, and they’re busy exploring their world—one tiny paw step at a time. Their favorite classroom? The front porch! It’s become the ultimate puppy playground where they’re taking in new sounds, smells, and sights, all part of our intentional socialization program. From chirping birds to distant lawnmowers, gentle breezes to warm sunbeams—every experience is carefully crafted to build confident, well-rounded companions. Watching them chase each other with wobbly enthusiasm and discover the world is equal parts adorable and amazing. These little ones are growing into curious, resilient pups with each passing day. ❤️ Stay tuned—more milestones are just around the corner!

Every time I walk in, I’m met with a tumble of wagging tails and warm bodies crashing into one another like a Labrador love explosion. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. #KnottyCreekLabs #PuppyPileVibes

Labrador Retriever
About River
River is one of the happiest dogs you’ll ever meet! She is endlessly sweet, adores snuggles, and still has the drive to work for hours when asked. River is a natural in scent work and retrieving—she can effortlessly track scents that are days old. She’s versatile and adaptable, whether it’s splashing at the river, curling up for a movie night, or joining you on an adventure. River is the kind of dog you can take anywhere: hiking trails, breweries, or even a senior center for community visits. Her gentle, friendly spirit shines through in every setting. Her pups inherit that same balanced temperament—happy, social, eager to please, and always ready to join in whatever their families love doing. River isn’t just a wonderful companion; she’s the dog who can truly do it all, and she passes those qualities on to her puppies.

Labrador Retriever
About Brutus
Knotty Creek Twisted Timber “Brutus” AKC Registered • OFA Good Hips & Normal Elbows • Full Embark Panel CGC • CGCA • CGCU Titles Brutus is the total package — solid structure, exceptional temperament, and world-class bloodlines. His sire is a direct UK import, and his pedigree is stacked with international and national champions, as well as multiple Master Hunters. His relatives span the globe — from Dubai and London to Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and throughout the U.S. What sets Brutus apart isn’t just what’s on paper — it’s who he is in real life. He’s mellow, well-mannered, and extremely intelligent. He has an “off switch” that makes him the ideal companion in any environment: from laying calmly in chaos to joyfully romping with dogs, kids, or livestock when invited. He has a natural love for chickens, ducks, and even retrieves gently when asked. Currently in training as a mobility support service dog, Brutus is showing incredible natural instinct — bracing, tracking, and checking in without being asked. Out in public or deep in the woods, he’s tuned in and connected. He has a strong sense of duty and loves big — always checking on “his girls” and making sure everyone’s okay. If you’re looking for a Labrador who’s both a gentleman and a working partner — Brutus is in a league of his own. ***Available for stud service.

Verified owner · Sept. 2025
+8We had the best experience with Bailey at Knotty Creek Labradors! She was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, helping us pick out the perfect little chocolate lab girl for our lifestyle. Bailey kept us updated on the litter, gave us puppy food recommendations, and provided our pup's first set shots. Our sweet Millie (now 3 months old) has been with us for 2 months, and she's everything we could have hoped for-spunky, cuddly, energetic, and so smart! It's been amazing to watch her grow, and we love looking back at her parents’ pictures on Good Dog and seeing how much she resembles them. Even when Millie's mama wasn't feeling well, Bailey went above and beyond to make sure the puppies were healthy and cared for, and our little girl turned out absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better breeder or experience - thank you, Bailey, for giving us our sweet Millie Moo!
