Q. & A. with Robert and Brittany
Why did you start breeding?
We got introduced to breeding through a local community of highly accredited gun dog owners and trainers. From there we learned the ins and outs of proper breeding etiquette for medically sound dogs with a high capability of performance. As we continue we will constantly be looking to advance and improve our program to offer the best Labrador Retrievers we can.
What makes your program special?
We focus our breeding program on genetically clearing each puppy from all diseases, dilution, and structural issues. We select temperaments for performance, drive, sociability, and intelligence traits. Each breeding is meticulously researched for pedigree achievement, DNA panels, OFA certifications, and performance titles; ensuring your new family member arrives with the utmost quality.
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.

Exceptional breeding program! We were very particular about who our new pup's breeder was to be. We actually drove to the breeder's home to check the environment that the pups were being raised in. Wow! What an awesome setup. The breeding house was clean (even has its own washer/dryer), you have to leave your shoes outside of the breeding house to make sure that the pups are not exposed unnecessarily to any outside diseases. The pups were happy, mama was precious and Robert and Brittany were friendly, very professional and knowledgeable. The quality of the pup's care was outstanding - good food, sensory stimulation and excellent communication between them and the potential pup parents. We HIGHLY recommend Robert and Brittany from Oak Hollow Retrievers.

Robert and Brittany were an absolute delight to work with, clearly demonstrating their expertise, knowledge and love for what they do and for their puppies. From the very beginning Robert and Brittiany were quick to answer our questions; keeping us updated every step of the way with the progress of our little Daisy-Blue. With photos, videos, and general pup-dates, we felt involved in the whole process from seeing her at 15 days old, to bringing her home at eight weeks. She is now ten weeks old, has doubled in size, cuteness and personality!
I would heartly recommend Oak Hollow Retrievers for anyone hoping to adopt a labrador retriever.
Thank you Robert and Brittany for everything.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Oak Hollow Retrievers. Not only is our puppy incredibly healthy, curious, and energetic, but she came with a wealth of knowledge. From day one, Robert and Brittany took time to talk about their philosophy and approach to raising dogs.
We’re information-junkies, so having someone spend an hour explaining why they do things and invite us out to see how they do the things they say the do - that transparency and commitment to quality is rare and something we greatly admire. Even the day we picked up our fur baby, we left with a folder of information and stuffies with her litter’s scent on it to help her settle in. (THE DETAILS, people!) These dogs are raised with the kind of love and care we are committed to when bringing our dog - our new family member - into our home; she had a good start.
We love our girl and she’s already growing so fast. So grateful that we found Robert & Brittany.

We had an excellent time working with Robert and Brittany. The process was very smooth start to finish. They are both very knowledgeable on the care of new puppies. We have a healthy and energetic black lab puppy now. We got to meet the puppies before selection and were updated frequently on their staus. The communication from Oak Hollow Retrievers was top notch.

Robert and Brittany were, to say the least, very accommodating and actively involved throughout the entire process, from selection to the day we took Penny home. Their knowledge of the retriever breed was evident from our first conversation. When I went to their facility I knew immediately we picked the right breeder for our new family member. The facility was clean, organized, and set up perfectly. Robert and Brittany sent pictures and texts throughout the 8-week period prior to pickup detailing the growth and life milestones that Penny achieved while she was in Oak Hollow's care. After pickup, Robert and Brittany checked in periodically throughout the next couple of days. They offered advice, answered any questions that came up in moments, and did it with a smile. I would rate them 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend Oak Hollow Retrievers for your next furry family member.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
