Susan T.

Breeder of Labrador Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Susan T., the breeder behind Tru-Heart Labradors, LLC located in Middleburg, FL. We take pride in the fastidious, loving, and stimulating environment in which our puppies are raised. By adhering to a scientifically-proven breeding philosophy, we ensure Tru-Heart puppies are born with sound temperaments, aesthetically-pleasing conformation, good bone and genetic health and vigor.

Q. & A. with Susan

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Tru-Heart Labradors was founded nearly 20 years ago out of love for the breed and with the intent of producing the highest-quality Labrador Retriever puppies available in Florida.  We have a combined total of 60+ years of experience in raising and training dogs of all breeds, but the Labrador Retriever breed stole our hearts!  First and foremost, we breed to strengthen and continue our breeding program. We produce well-rounded Labrador Retrievers to become family and personal companions, but they are also suited for service, obedience, agility, rally, and field work.
  • What makes your program special?

    Since 2005, Tru-Heart Labradors has practiced selective breeding to produce puppies with wonderful temperaments (the hallmark of this breed) working ability, breed-standard conformation, and good looks.  Tru-Heart puppies have matured to become service dogs, emotional support dogs, hunting dogs, show dogs (with Tru-Heart approval), and terrific family pets.
  • 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 and a kennel on my property.
