Meet the breeder
I'm Judy C., the breeder behind Swift Run Labs located in Hanover, PA. We are a small family, home-based breeder producing only 2 to 4 litters a year. Our goal is to provide healthy, wonderful pets. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. Some are better for hunting families and some are best as family pets. Our dogs are all health tested and live in our home with us.
Q. & A. with Judy
Why did you start breeding?
After our first Lab, we were hooked! We formed a strong connection with a breeder that helped us grow our family of Labs and got us hooked on breeding our own. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine!What makes your program special?
We love and care for our dogs and pups like they are our children. While we know that not every pup in each litter will grow up to become a hunting dog, we are confident that each one will become a treasured family member!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.

Verified owner · Feb. 2024
The whole process with Swift Run Labs was seamless. They kept us updated as we moved through the process and shared lots of puppy pictures as Lzzy got closer to her pick up date. It was very obvious throughout how much they truly loved their dogs and wanted to ensure their puppies found loving homes.
