I'm Linda W., the breeder behind Sommit Labradors located in Cary, IL. We breed to ensure each puppy is an excellent representation of a Labrador, will have a great temperament, and most importantly, will be healthy. We have been involved in dog sports our whole lives and have been breeding Labradors since the '80s so are very passionate about the breed.
