I'm Danette N., the breeder behind SilverWater Labs located in Swanton, OH. Family breeder. Our dogs are our family pets. None of our dogs live in kennels, we rotate them into the house at different times.
Q. & A. with Danette
Why did you start breeding?
My in-laws bred Labs and I feel in love with the breed.
What makes your program special?
We do not have dogs in kennels 24/7, we believe that Labs are family dogs and they should be raised that way so we rotate since we can't have them all in the house at once.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Dilute Retriever puppies include silver, charcoal, fox red, 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
Great level
SilverWater 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.
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).
