American Labrador breeder- recommendations needed

[Jim in CT]

Hey BackBeach -

I am a golden retriever man myself. When looking for a place to board my golden for 2 weeks during my honeymoon, I thankfully found Jennifer Broome who owns Quinebaug Kennels in the northeast corner of Connecticut.

Jennifer is well known as a trainer of hunting dogs, and she is also a small, serious breeder of labs. She used to take her dogs to some of the hunting/fishing shows in CT and Mass.

Anyway, I love her for boarding, and she has a good reputation as a breeder. Her dogs are field stock as opposed to show stock, bred more for ability and temperment than looks.

I have seen her dogs in action, they are awesome. Jen is super friendly. I'm not sure her website mentions her breeding program, but you could ask her about that. You could not go wrong.

I can also vouch for these dogs as having seen her and her dogs at several AKC events. Very friendly person BTW.
