Meet the breeder
I'm Karley A., the breeder behind Northern Woods Labs located in Maine. We are a small family breeder of Labrador Retrievers in Northern Maine. Our program is managed by our entire family, including our children! We firmly believe that puppies and dogs are heart healers and that our communities can be largely benefited by their service work. Our puppies are raised on the Empowered Breeder protocol, which emphasizes on proper socialization during the first few weeks of life.
