I'm Christina M., the breeder behind Oak Valley Labradors located in Temecula, CA. At Oak Valley Labradors, we believe that the best dogs begin with love. Our Labradors are more than just breeding dogs, they’re beloved members of our family. We thoughtfully select each parent for their calm temperament, classic English Labrador build, and excellent health. All of our dogs undergo thorough health testing, including OFA-certified hips and elbows, cardiac screenings, eye exams by a veterinary ophthalmologist, and full DNA panels for genetic conditions. They’re gently introduced to new sights, sounds, and experiences to help them grow into confident, well-adjusted companions.
We take pride in connecting our puppies with families who will love them as much as we do.

Christina was the greatest breeder. She was so professional always getting back to me when I had so many questions. I loved her videos to music with all 10 puppies. We had lost our Beautiful lab in May and our house was so empty without Naughty Nora. It was so hard to choose a puppy because they were all adorable and chubby. The thing I like most about Christina is that she let us choose the puppy we wanted. So many breeders choose for you.i went through so many breeders and she was truly the easiest to work with. Now,we have a beautiful 8 week old puppy named Millie Pearl. She is sweet, cuddly ,and very feisty. She's going to be such a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you so much Christina 💓 Susan and Will
