    We love our little Lewis so much. Heather was amazing from the moment we first put the deposit down. We couldn’t be more pleased with our little guy! She was so knowledgeable and helpful. We would definitely recommend Labrador Trails!

    My experience with Heather was excellent! She responded to my questions promptly and kept me informed as the process moved to the litter phase and reserving our boy. Updated pictures were appreciated and we could hardly wait to meet him! When a health concern with the litter came up, she was very good with keeping us updated. Finally came the day to pick him up and once again Heather answered questions and had the turnover ready. She was very easy to work with! We are Loving every minute with Chester, our new family addition. He is growing so fast and is a bundle of fun and energy!!

    Heather was so helpful and so awesome throughout this process!! She was very responsive and very knowledgeable and sent me weekly updates about my puppy until I got him. The process was so smooth and my first two weeks with my puppy have been incredible! I would highly recommend Heather and Labrador Trails to anyone looking for a lab!!

    Heather was amazing to work with. She is knowledgeable, thorough and supportive. She takes such great care of her litters & always communicated about how things we’re developing. She sent pictures and updates. We flew up from Southern California and Heather met us at the airport. It was honestly the best experience. She has some really beautiful American Labs that make the cutest, most well mannered lovable puppies! We are loving our little Meka. She was one of the smallest in her litter, but is doubling in size and personality every day. I will absolutely work with Heather at Lab trails again. (As soon as my husband says he’s ok with a 3rd “dauggher”).

    We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Heather at Labrador Trails from start to finish. She was wonderful to work with and communicated so well throughout the entire process, always keeping us updated and sharing puppy photos along the way. It’s clear how much care and love she puts into her dogs. We are completely in love with our puppy, Piper, and couldn’t be happier. We’re so excited to watch her grow and be a special part of our family. We highly recommend Heather and Labrador Trails to anyone looking for an amazing breeder and experience.

    How We Found Our Puppy, Brownie Getting a puppy had been something my partner and I talked about for a while, and one day, I finally decided to start looking. As I was scrolling through Good Dog’s listings, I came across a photo that immediately stopped me. Those were the cutest puppy eyes I had ever seen. Her name was listed as "Pink Girl," and the moment I saw her, I just knew she was the one. I reached out to Heather, the breeder, and she responded almost immediately. She was kind, helpful, and very responsive throughout the entire process. She stayed in touch regularly, sending us photos and updates about Pink Girl while we waited to bring her home. It made the wait feel personal and exciting. When we finally met her in person, it was love at first sight. We named her Brownie, and she has brought so much joy and love into our home. Heather’s care for the puppies and their parents is truly remarkable. Her home is thoughtfully set up to raise healthy, happy Labs, and she made sure we had all the information and support we needed. If we ever decide to add a second Lab to our family, we’ll definitely be going back to her.
