Meet the breeder
I'm Cheri H., the breeder behind Rebellion Labradors located in Fombell, PA. Temperament is vital—a Labrador must be friendly and outgoing. We do all health tests available for Labradors to ensure you are acquiring the healthiest puppy possible. Puppies are raised in our living room from day one, ensuring optimal socialization. We follow the AKC breed standard and set high standards for our breeding program. Our dogs are tested in both the show ring and the field, to prove they have beauty, and the brains to go along with it! We have produced many Service and working dogs, and Rebellion Labradors are serving people all over the US as Diabetic Alert Dogs, Service dogs for mobility and mental health, autism safety, in police and fire departments as community awareness and comfort dogs, and with the federal gov't in detection services.
Q. & A. with Cheri
Why did you start breeding?
My first job as an adult was for a well known Labrador breeding kennel. It was from this breeder that I acquired my first three dogs, including my foundation female, Naya. I joined the Greater Pittsburgh Labrador Retriever Club to learn from the breeders and dog sport enthusiasts, prior to breeding my first litter.What makes your program special?
Rebellion Labradors are well known for their abilities as Service and Working dogs (apparently we have a Reddit thread!). Our socialization efforts, along with the puppies being raised underfoot in my home, give them a huge head start with the mentality and temperament needed for service work. I believe that a good Labrador should be competitive in the show ring and be able to work in the field.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.

Rune, mom
Labrador Retriever
About Rune
Rune, first and foremost, is a Canine Advocate for Crisis Center North. She began her work at 12 weeks old. Rune and I attend court in Allegheny County to support victims of domestic violence as they work through the legal system and begin their new lives. Rune always knows what day of the week it is, and when its "court day", she is ready to go! Rune has all of her AKC Championship singles points, and is a Junior Hunter. She is also an experienced upland hunter. Rune is always ready to go do something, but when its time to snuggle on the couch she is down for that, too. Rune learns new tasks very quickly. She has produced many service and working dogs in previous litters, passing on her trademark "belly flop" when she is meeting someone new. Rune has all health clearances recommended for her breed, including OFA hips and elbows, cardiac echocardiogram by a cardiologist, eye exam by an ophthalmologist, and a full genetic panel that ensures no puppies she produces will ever be affected by any genetic disease known in Labradors. Rune is an excellent mother who immediately takes to caring for her babies, and she very much enjoys playing with them and "showing them the ropes" when they are weaned.
