I'm Jan S., the breeder behind Lakeside Labs located in Soddy Daisy, TN. We specialize in breeding beautiful, healthy, and AKC Hunt Titled Labrador Retrievers. Our Labradors are our companions at home and in the field, and they exemplify the breed standard in temperament and intelligence. They are fed a species-appropriate raw diet which contributes to producing vibrant, healthy puppies. We are passionate about our program and we look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Jan
Why did you start breeding?
My first Labrador is such an amazing dog, and she inspired me to want a puppy from her. She developed a following in our hunting circles because of her talent and personality, and so many people we knew wanted one of her pups, too! That led to our focused ambition to breed exceptional and healthy puppies who could bring joy and love to others as she has brought to me.
What makes your program special?
We're passionate about raising well-rounded pups who will excel in any venue with their new families. We take pride in our pups. We breed AKC Hunt-titled Labradors from award-winning bloodlines. Our dogs are family and spend time outdoors swimming and doing what Labradors love to do - hunting and retrieving!
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.
