Meet the breeder

I'm Colleen K., the breeder behind Lone Oak Pups located in Hastings, MN. We fell in love with the personality and temperament of our dogs right from the start. Once you’ve owned a lab, you’ll never again want to be without one!

Q. & A. with Colleen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    During covid we purchased two female labs with the intention of having them as our family pets and to give breeding a try. A good family friend of ours is a breeder with English labs and together we purchased a male from Ukraine. We waited a few years for the pups to be ready for breeding and after a few attempts we have successfully had 3 litters.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are very small, only breeding one litter a year and our puppies get lots of attention and interaction during their early development.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Lone Oak Pups reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Labrador Retrievers.

  • Hip Dysplasia (Preliminary)

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • DNA Disease Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), D Locus (Dilute) DNA test

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
