Legendary Lab Retrievers
Meet the breeder
I'm Derek P., the breeder behind Legendary Lab Retrievers located in Independence, LA. We strive to produce healthy, intelligent Retrievers that will integrate comfortably into a variety of households and lifestyles. In order to start our puppies off on the right paw, we begin training and socializing at a young age so they are set up for success in their new homes. We prioritize the health and well-being of each one of our puppies and follow all appropriate puppy health protocols.
