We have been very blessed to have brought home a beautiful, intelligent, chocolate puppy with an amazingly sweet personality from Ricky, at Maple Ridge Labs. Ricky is a warm, kind, knowledgeable, responsive, responsible, and an incredibly loving owner/breeder who we would highly recommend to anyone who would love a wonderful addition (Lab), to their family!

I am so glad to have bought a puppy from Maple Ridge Labs. Our little girl is so sweet and big and lovable. She is really smart and loves to watch TV. So adorable. I could go on and on about her. If I was to buy another dog it would be from them

We could not be happier with our chocolate Lab puppy from Ricky! From the moment we brought him home, it was clear he had been raised in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. Our boy is full of life, incredibly trusting, and well-socialized—qualities that reflect the excellent care he received before coming to us. He even came with a recall already in place! (Though walking him was a bit of a challenge at first because he loved being right between our legs!) Everywhere we go, people stop us to comment on how stunning he is. He’s healthy, confident, and has a wonderful temperament that makes him a joy to be around. Ricky’s knowledge and ongoing support have been invaluable. He truly treats you like family, answering all of our questions and offering guidance every step of the way. If you’re looking for a breeder who genuinely cares about their dogs and their future families, Ricky is the one. We are so grateful to him for giving us the perfect companion! Thanks Ricky!

Their chocolate labs are not only stunning in appearance but also possess all the wonderful traits that make labs so beloved - loyalty, intelligence, and an affectionate nature.
