I got my dog from a smaller breeder in Georgetown MA, he is not a business but a very experienced amateur / semi pro AKC/HRC trainer with great dogs and has really become a good friend of mine. He just started a website
Rocking Retrievers Home. I seriously can't say enough about Bob. If you look at it, "Layla" is my dogs mom and "Ringo" is his brother. Here is a picture of my dog Hudson.
I have been at AKC competitions with Paul Botehlo (mentioned above) and he seems like a decent guy with good dogs. I also have extensively worked with Lois Monroe out of Heart and Soul Retrievers and she has some very good dogs. Her website is
Heart and Soul Retrievers and although not the best site she has great dogs and does a good job training them. I just checked the site and her dog Faith had a litter with a couple pups left. I thought one of the best resources is Labrador retreivers of Greater Boston at
LRCGB: Home. You'll find tons of great info there on all types of labs and local breeders.
I could go on for a long time with this stuff, if you have questions drop me a PM and I would be happy to give you a call. I was very into dogs before the arrival of my children a few years ago, and now don't train or hunt as much but love them all the same.
