We had a wonderful experience with Amanda and Terry at TLC Retrievers! From the very beginning, they were kind, knowledgeable, and truly cared about their puppies. They kept us updated throughout the process and were always happy to answer our questions. Bringing Coco home has been such a joy. She is healthy, well-socialized, and has the sweetest personality. It is clear that Amanda and Terry put a lot of love, time, and care into raising their puppies. We are so grateful for our sweet Coco and highly recommend TLC Retrievers to anyone looking for a Labrador puppy!

My fur baby is doing great. He is already sitting on command and staying sometimes. Hes doing good with house training. Hasn't quite got it down. But he is doing much better. I just need his shot records . I haven't received them yet.

Amanda & Terry were great to work with. Responses were very quick. They had everything ready when I arrived. Luther is healthy and active. He is learning very quickly. He loves everyone including his big sister, Lola, who can't wait for him to be a little bigger to play with her fully. He has grown so much in the 3 weeks we have had him. I would recommend TLC Retrievers to anyone looking for a quality puppy.
