Meet the breeder

I'm Kelly E., the breeder behind TMK Labradors located in Manchester, MD. Our puppies are excellent representations of their breed, and we are proud to offer our high-quality puppies to loving homes. The loyalty and loving disposition of this breed are simply the best! We put a great deal of effort into raising our litters to ensure our puppy families will have the best experience raising their new family members.

Q. & A. with Kelly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    In 2018, after the loss of our rescue dog, all my daughter wanted for her birthday was to pay with some puppies. A good friend of mine is a labrador breeder, and I reached out to her to see if we could come visit her current litter of puppies. Next thing I knew, I was bringing home our Jolene with the intention to breed her once she was of age and had passed all her clearances and health testing. Here we are almost 6 years later. We have grown our lab family to 6 females.
  • What makes your program special?

    We raise our labs in our home. We pride ourselves on making sure that by the time the puppies go home, they are socialized, starting potty and crate training, and used to all different elements. All our breeding dogs are health-checked to ensure we are breeding dogs of a good standard.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

TMK Labradors reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Labrador Retrievers.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), DNA Disease Panel, Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), D Locus (Dilute) DNA test

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
