About Us
Who We Are
We are a small, family-based breeder located in Michigan. First and foremost, our labs are members of our family. They are not in crates or kennels - they are inside dogs raised in a healthy, loving environment. We have 11 acres up North for our pups to play, go for walks, swim and hunt. We strive to breed healthy, high-quality AKC registered labs of all colors. Each and every dog's health is our top priority. All our dogs go through genetic testing through Embark (testing over 190 genetic health conditions and traits) and have OFA certifications.
Our Dam - Oakley Rose
IRBY ACRES OAKLEY ROSE DS
Everyone say hello to Miss Oakley Rose. She was our "breeder's choice" from Gunner and Kimber's November 2022 litter. She joined our family and it has been wonderful to watch her grow up with her mom and dad in the same household. She is a natural in the pool and on the dock. She recently earned her Dock Senior AKC title.
