Meet the breeder

I'm Amy O., the breeder behind O’Dell Labs located in Sullivan, MO. Our breeding program emphasizes health testing and quality genetics, with a focus on temperament, working skills, and training. Our dogs are excellent family dogs. We breed both to provide families with loving, capable companions and to improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.

Q. & A. with Amy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I bred Morgan horses first, and the Labs were a natural way for our kids to learn about life. Our Labs are part of our family, first and foremost. They have plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, and now we have grandkids who help socialize and continue the tradition. We strive to improve the breed with each pairing, and we learn more with each litter.
  • What makes your program special?

    We believe you should choose a breeder first, and then the puppy that's right for you will come naturally as we get to know each other and what you are looking for. We do early neurological stimulation to improve the health and immunity levels of our babies, then use the Puppy Culture protocols to help get our pups ready for learning when they get to their new homes.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Dilute Retriever puppies include silver, charcoal, and champagne. Labrador Retriever 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 guardian homes.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

O’Dell Labs 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Dentition, Shoulder Osteochondrosis

    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.

  • Cystinuria Type 1A, Labrador Retriever Type, D Locus (Dilute) DNA test, DNA Coat/Trait Panel, Full Embark Panel, 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).
