Meet the breeder

I'm Tammy J., the breeder behind MistyWoods Labradors located in Alton, MO. We are a small show and hobby kennel located in a small country town in south-central Missouri near the Arkansas border. We strive to produce quality English Labrador Retrievers that meets breed standard set forth by LRC. We like to produce an all-purpose Labrador that fits everyone's needs.

Q. & A. with Tammy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My first Labrador, Belle, was a cute yellow puppy that stole my heart. She had fair hips and dysplastic elbows. She was spayed and was my loyal companion. She was a great dog! Her faithfulness and love forever endeared me to the Labrador breed. I was determined to produce the best Labradors I could when I finally started my breeding stock. I wanted a good quality companion that looked beautiful.
  • What makes your program special?

    We strive to produce quality, all-purpose English Labrador Retrievers that fit everyone's needs. Our Labs can perform in conformation, obedience, rally, agility, dock diving, tracking, field trials, therapy/assistance, as well as just being a wonderful companion. I show my labradors in the conformation ring and other performance titles. They are bred to meet breed standard as set forth by the LRC.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
