Meet the breeder

I'm Lisa M., the breeder behind Nebraska Strong Labradors located in Sidney, NE. Our focus is on breeding working dogs for sport, working venues, and companions for active, experienced owners. We also take pride in some of the service work candidates we have produced. We produce litters that are healthy and sound.

Q. & A. with Lisa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding after I got my first lab as a pet and was impressed by his intelligence and trainability as well as accomplishments.

  • What makes your program special?

    My program stands out because once you add one of my puppies to your family, you have become part of my extended family ❤️

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

    Our Labrador Retriever puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Dilute Retriever puppies are charcoal. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Getting a puppy from Lisa

Lisa has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Lisa 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.

"We take great care in assisting puppy families in choosing which puppy will best suit their lifestyle (ex low energy =not very active family where-as higher energy level is necessary for a hunting family). Puppy matching will take place from 5-7 weeks of age."

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Nebraska Strong Labradors 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 Dilute Retrievers.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    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.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Dentition

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

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

    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).

    Lisa was awesome!! She always responded quickly and answered any questions I had. Throughout the selection process she sends lots of pictures and videos showing each pups features and personalities. Millie is the best dog I could’ve asked for and I’m so glad I chose Nebraska Strong Labradors!

    Lisa was great to work with! She was responsive to questions and sent frequent updates about the puppies. Lisa provided detailed descriptions about their personalities as well as pictures and videos throughout the process. It is very apparent that Lisa cares about what she does and wants the very best for her dogs. Brody is a beautiful, happy, sweet boy and we are so blessed to have him in our home❤️

    Lisa was outstanding to work with and always very responsive! Our new boy “Whiskey” is growing fast and an absolute delight! Plus he is a blast to cuddle with (during his sleepy periods).

    Lisa was so responsive and always got back to me in a quick time frame. She provided great insight into Arya and took great care of her until it was time for us to pick her up. Arya is very intelligent and outgoing. I highly recommend Nebraska Strong Labs!

    We lost our dog of 16 years and started looking around for a good breeder for Labs. We saw some puppies on Nebraska Strong. We talked to Lisa, she answered any questions. We put a deposit on one, Lisa stayed in contact the whole time, sent pictures, made sure we got the puppy we were looking for. HIGHLY recommend Nebraska Strong for lab puppies.
