Meet the breeder

I'm Michelle M., the breeder behind Quail Meadow Labradors located in Dunnellon, FL. Our puppies are a part of our family and our goal is to provide good homes for them and a sweet, healthy pet that will be a part of your family for many years. All of our parents are tested with full genetic panels, as well as certifications of the hips, elbows, patella‘s, and cardiac.

Q. & A. with Michelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had Labradors as pets for years and I decided that I love the breed enough to start raising them. That was 20 years ago and I still enjoy having babies in the home all the time!
  • What makes your program special?

    All of the puppies are raised inside my living room with constant love and attention from my family and I. We also go above and beyond with all of the health testing and certifications on the parents.
  • 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.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Quail Meadow Labradors 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 Labrador 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.

  • PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific)

    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).
