    Verified owner · May 2025

    We highly recommend Willow Ridge Labradors. We got our beloved puppy from Willow Ridge Labs in VA in December 2024. The owner, Kerry Reardon, is a caring and very knowledgeable breeder with healthy, exemplary AKC Labrador Retrievers. Her information and starter gifts helped make our puppy ownership a wonderful success. Smart, loving and beautiful, our puppy is now 7 months old and we are ecstatic with her. She has strong legs and joints, beautiful face and coloring, and a loving, social nature. We are most impressed with how brave and intelligent our puppy is. The best experience we ever had with a breeder.
