Meet the breeder

I'm Julie L., the breeder behind Loudon's Labradors located in Cheney, WA. We built our program with care and intention in every step. Our labradors are healthy with wonderful temperaments. Many of our puppies work as hunting, service, family dogs and AKC competitive athletes. Our puppies start out as part of our family and we hope they become part of yours as well.

Q. & A. with Julie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We are a family that breeds wanting a good quality working/hunting/family dog. We started with our first AKC registered female in 1985. We would breed every few years upgrading the quality of our family dogs and keep a puppy to train for ourselves. Holding ourselves to high standards is paramount to the well-being of our dogs and to the integrity of our program.

  • What makes your program special?

    We do it for pleasure and to promote quality dogs. Our dogs live in the house with us, travel, fish, vacation and a family member. Our puppies are raised in the house, socialized, crate & potty trained. We do neuro stimulation in the first 14 days. Puppies are exposed to many activities in the AKC temperament test, in scent work, bird and outdoor smells, tactile playgrounds, and adventure walks.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Julie

Julie has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Julie partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 6 weeks old.

“Labradors are very versatile. With temperament testing we can match puppies to owner goals. A hunting dog has different scores than a service dog, or a home with children. It’s is more than puppy color to assess a good match to a owner to make for a successful outcome.”

    Julie from Loudon’s Labradors was communicative and we loved getting photos and videos of the puppies as they grew. The mother of the pups was well trained and well cared for. This breeder truly cares about her dogs and puppies. She made sure to assess their temperaments to try to ensure that each family got a dog that would make a good fit for them. Julie also gave the puppies a head start on training and exposed them to different experiences and objects as part of their early socialization process. After we brought our puppy home, Julie checked in with us to make sure the transition was going well and offered advice when we needed it. As far as the puppy goes, he is very sweet and smart. We got him at 8 weeks and we had a few nights of having to wake up 2 to 3 times per night to let him out, but he was sleeping through the night in his crate within 3-4 nights of bringing him home. Potty training has been easier than I had expected. We used a helpful app called the Puppy Potty Log. He started to learn to ring a bell to let us know when he needed to go outside within 3-4 days of bringing him home. He is now 12 weeks old and is consistently ringing the bell and we haven’t had any accidents in a while. Our pup has already learned several obedience commands like sit, leave it, down, come, etc. We would buy another puppy from Julie at Loudon’s Labradors if we decided to expand our K9 family. I recommend this breeder if you are looking for a sweet and smart lab puppy.

    Julie did an amazing job with our little Benelli. The pups were more than cared for. They were socialized and loved. They underwent all kinds of intentional sensory stimulation, and were started on potty training and crate training. Our pup is so well rounded and well adjusted thanks to the great start at Loudon's Laboradors. Would recommend them to anyone. In fact, I have.
