Meet the breeder
I'm Rachel T., the breeder behind the Learning Lab located in Fulton, MS. I offer top-quality Labrador Retriever puppies with a focus on health, form, and function. I believe quality is more important than quantity. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability!
Q. & A. with Rachel
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!What makes your program special?
My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can possibly provide. I am passionate about Labrador Retrievers, and my love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of my breeding program.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
