About Sam
Sam is constantly on the move. He is a runner in search of a race — actually, he’s just in search of anything, all the time. He is unceasingly agreeable and docile, with a killer physique, an insatiable eagerness to please, and a goofy streak a mile wide. He’s everything exceptional about the British Pointing Lab, cranked up to 11, including the ability to calm down and settle when the situation calls for it. He’s a wonderful guy, and his puppies are incredibly sweet and biddable.

About MayBelle
MayBelle is my BBF (Best Buddy Forever). She is playful and intelligent, trusting and patient, and loves me far more than I deserve. She has had 34 puppies before this litter (she has very large litters) and has never lost even one of them. She's an incredible mother. Other moms we've had seem to be highly inconvenienced by motherhood and wean their puppies at the earliest opportunity and never want the see them again. But MayBelle loves her puppies and loves being with them, and will visit them and play with them long after they're weaned. She's amazing — a wonder of creation.

About Percy
Percy is a British Pointing Lab whose performance drive is exceeded only by his love of affection. He is incredibly sweet and obedient and his favorite thing is to sit next to you leaning up against your leg for lovin’s. If that’s not available, he loves chasing a ball, or doing anything else you want from him. He’s very intelligent, athletic, and eager to please, and his puppies follow right in his footsteps.

About Harvey
Harvey is a delightful member of our family. His entire life's ambition is simply to be as close to you as possible and then some. He is the most affectionate guy we could ever ask for, with a calm and patient disposition (though he does LOVE breakfast a lot). He has sired 40 puppies in the three years he's been with us, who have all become beloved members of new families who can't imagine life without them. We're so blessed to have found him, and we can't wait for you to meet his kids!

About Bee
Belle (who goes by Bee since we already have a MayBelle) is affectionate and well-mannered inside with the family, and a nose-to-the-ground explorer as soon as she gets out the door. She's a fantastic representation of the British Pointing Lab: the intelligence and drive of a working dog, with the easy-going friendliness of a family pet. She's a ton of fun AND has great manners. The perfect balance of work, play, and companionship.

About Millie
Millie is also very smart and athletic. She is a full English Lab with an incredible nose and hunting instinct, and she’s as confident and carefree as they come. She makes me laugh practically every time I look at her. She’s also gorgeous in her petite, spunky little way. She’s had two litters so far, and all her puppies have had a huge food drive, which makes them comparatively easy to train, generally speaking. Her puppies tend to skew toward the high-energy side of the scale, but there are still always one or two lazy babies in every litter if you're looking for a more laid-back personality.

About Rita
Rita is an affectionate, AKC British Pointing Lab who loves to work and is always eager to please. This girl has an incredible nose with the perseverance to match. She will hunt all day long in the upland field and has big water entries whether she's going after a training dummy or waterfowl. If you are looking for a hunting buddy, or a weekend warrior to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, then these puppies may be perfect for you. Rita is an incredibly devoted and attentive girl. She is always 100% focused on making you happy, whether that's by bringing you the ball as fast as possible, or sitting perfectly still by your side. I've never seen a dog so entirely committed to her person's pleasure. I doubt she's ever engaged in anything remotely resembling mischief. She's a pure delight. Rita also inherited her sire's excellent off switch and is happy to simply rest at your feet at night. This dog is the total package! Active and happy outdoors as well as calm and comfortable indoors.

If you’re looking for healthy, well tempered, smart, and goofy labs, the Osborne's are your go to breeder. They were super easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and passionate about producing genetically superior labs. Muzzy (our new pup) has only been with us a short while, but has been extremely easy to train, well tempered, and loves everyone he meets.

We had an amazing experience from start to finish. Marissa and Lydia were very responsive and took the time to answer all of my questions. It’s clear they are extremely knowledgeable and truly care about the health, temperament and well being of each puppy. They are also so kind! We are so happy with our new puppy Gracie and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a healthy, well loved puppy from a breeder they can trust!

We truly had the most amazing experience with the Osbornes! From the first phone call, to pick up, to even now after having our new baby for 4 months has just been beyond our expectations. Marissa and Lydia truly listened to me and I almost felt like I was talking to family every time I would have a new question. The process to make sure we were matched up with the right pup was also well thought out and we could not be happier with the sweet boy we ended up with. They truly understand your lifestyle and make sure your puppy will be a good fit. Benny has been the sweetest addition and has been a dream to train. It’s hard to imagine life without him. We would highly suggest Osbourne breeders!!

We have been extremely happy with our puppy from Osborne Family Retrievers. She has a great temperament. Our veterinary recommended the GoodDog platform and we found our Labrador with the Osbornes in Ohio. Lydia and Marissa’s communications were excellent - we had a long phone conversation with them and together we worked out which puppy was the best temperament for us. It was great to be able to drive to collect her and we got to meet Lydia, Marissa and Paul, really nice people. They have a great, rural, location for raising Labradors and the dogs are socialised and have commenced crate and potty training. We even got to meet our puppy’s parents. The family really cares about finding their dogs a good home! Highly recommended!

Marissa and Lydia were amazing to work with! They provided me with a great deal of information and many resources to help prepare for my puppy. They are both very kind and knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions. Our new puppy (formerly Ronald) is a fantastic addition to our family! He is a beautiful dog with a really nice temperament. I highly recommend Osborne Family Retrievers!

We had the best experience with Osborne Family Retrievers. They took so much time to listen to what we wanted in a puppy, give direction, and then find the dog she thought would be the best fit. She posted videos and photos of the dog so my girls could watch him grow and see what he was up to. She was very thorough and he did amazing from the first night we brought him home. He is healthy and growing like crazy and we would absolutely get another dog from them in a heartbeat!
