    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 and her husband are truly amazingly caring people. They have helped me every step of the way with my Lucy!! I have had her for for 8 days now, and I have put a bell by the door and she has already been ringing it when she needs go out to go potty, at first she woke up every two hours at night and the last few night she has slept for 6 hours straight before needing to get up. She is the sweetest puppy I have ever had and I think that has a lot to do with how Heather and her husband have brought her up. I would definitely recommend Labrador Trails to anyone one that wants a beautiful puppy, I cannot thank you enough.

    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.
