Meet the breeder

I'm Lillian R., the breeder behind TLS Retrievers located in Anderson, TX. We are huge animal lovers and have Dedicated our time to only producing quality dogs! We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. We strive to provide each of our puppies and their families with a truly positive experience!

Q. & A. with Lillian

Why did you start breeding?
We bought our first dilute factored Labrador in Feb. of 2018. (She was 4) We loved her temperament, & structure. We bred her to Ranger after doing her health testing. We have kept back 3 of her daughters to continue breeding her lines!
What makes your program special?
We strive for quality, thick coats on all of our dilutes. We have never produced a "hairless" dilute dog. Our dogs do not suffer from CDA. We look at pedigrees, structure & health of each dog before pairing them together.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Dilute Retriever puppies include silver, charcoal, and champagne. Labrador Retriever 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.
