About Wren
Meet Wren — a beautiful Labrador we brought home as a puppy from Bluff View Labradors to begin building a new line with Beyond Exceptional Labs. Our goal was to combine proven genetics in both hunt and conformation with the qualities that truly matter for a lifetime companion: health, longevity, temperament, and the ability to be an exceptional family dog. While titles and accomplishments are important, we believe the foundation of a great Labrador is being a well-rounded partner. Wren spends her days roaming freely on our 18 acres alongside her daughter and our other female Labrador, while being raised with our two young daughters. She joins us horseback riding frequently, and of course, she is a naturally talented retriever. Wren has the calm, gentle personality we strive for — mellow without being lazy, with an almost service-dog-like temperament. She is incredibly devoted to our girls and has the kind of stable, loving nature that makes her a true family companion. Her pedigree represents generations of exceptional Labradors proven in both the show ring and hunt tests. Her sire, Bravo One from Hidden Springs Labradors, was featured on the cover of Labradors Monthly and comes from an extraordinary pedigree including: • 5 Grand Champions • 14 Champions • 16 Master Hunters • 3 Senior Hunters • 3 Junior Hunters • 10 AKC Champion/Master Hunter titled dogs — a rare achievement with only 83 recorded to date These accomplishments are found within only four generations of her pedigree. Although Wren is first and foremost our beloved family dog, she carries the genetics, structure, and temperament of truly exceptional breeding. As life allows, we look forward to pursuing hunt tests and conformation titles with her future daughters and continuing this special line.

About Lola
Lola is our 6th generation bred female. Her great great great grandma was my 1st lab who made me fall in loveee with the breed ! Lola has been a paper copy of the females in our family before her. She loveeeeessss kids, horse trail ridding with me in weekend, and enjoying our acre pond, and roaming our 18 acre home . She is high energy and loves to play ball and explore all day. The only thing she loves more than my children is having puppies and has been a step in nanny when needed to pur female during whelping. Her previous puppies have gone on to be amazing hunting and family homes.
