Puddle Jumper Labs
Meet the breeder
I'm Sheila H., the breeder behind Puddle Jumper Labs located in Rockford, IL. As breeders, we always work to achieve something better with each litter that we produce. All of our dogs are OFA certified for their hips and elbows. Their eyes are also cleared through CERF. We require the same certifications for all dogs that we breed to. Our Labradors are bred for good temperament, looks, and trainability, and we have a sound reputation for producing quality Labs.
