Labrador Retrievers for Home & Field
We’ve been breeding and training Labrador retrievers for over 27 years. We love Labs and we know you do too!
Our kennel breeds Labrador puppies for 6 specific traits:
- Superior Intelligence – based on breeding for high intelligence
- Terrific Personalities – calm in the house; playful outside
- Outstanding Hunting Desire – great hunting bloodlines
- Natural Pointing Instinct – APLA certified bloodlines
- Superb Looks – beautifully slimmer, smaller & more athletic rather than show dog looks
- Proven Pedigrees – It’s all about amazing bloodlines & excellent genetics.

Our Labrador Puppies:
Welcome! We recommend that you stop by our “Litters” page to see what puppies have been born and if any are currently available for adoption. You can also complete our “Puppy Preference Form,” which lets us know what you’re looking for in a dog. As soon as you submit this questionnaire to us, we’ll get back to you with our recommendations as to which litters or pups would best fit your needs.
Our Prices:
Our base prices are listed below, according to current demand for colors and genders. The first-pick female of a litter is sometimes reserved for MMK’s partner breeder program, which means that puppy is available for a lower price, but the commitment to our partnership is greater. If and when first and second picks of a litter become available, we charge $200 more for 2nd pick and $400 more for 1st pick:
- Black and yellow males are $2500.
- Chocolate and fox red males are $2800.
- Black and yellow females are $2800.
- Chocolate and fox red females are $3100.
- *1st and 2nd picks of each gender and color are +$400 and +$200 respectively.
Note: Sales tax is due on any pups or merchandise sold in California.
Frequently Asked Questions about Labrador Retrievers, Reservations, Deliveries, Recommended Puppy Supplies:
- Why should I buy a Labrador retriever? There’s so much we could say about Labs, we can’t do it all in just a couple of sentences, so click on the link to read more HERE!
- Why buy a Labrador retriever puppy from you? Because we care more about breeding for the awesome “on/off” switch than any other Lab breeder. We want to provide you with a dog that is calm and relaxed indoors, and playful outdoors with a medium energy level (not spazzy) outdoors, making your pet more enjoyable for you and everyone around you.
- Shipments & Deliveries: Since we are located 4 hours north of Sacramento, many people prefer to have us transport their Lab puppies further south. By request, and for an additional fee, we often transport puppies to Davis. We used to be able to ship puppies via airplane all over the continental United States, but more restrictions apply at this time, due to Covid, extreme heat, or extreme cold. Unfortunately, we no longer ship puppies to Hawaii, due to their quarantine restrictions.
- Can I pick out my Labrador Retriever puppy before the designated adoption date? Sorry, but no. when you reserve a puppy from us, you are reserving your picking order for a puppy in a specific litter and not necessarily a specific puppy (unless it’s the only one of that color and gender in the litter). Most people will not know which puppy they are choosing until puppy adoption day.
- What supplies do we need for our new puppy? So many people ask us this question, we wrote a blog giving our advice. You can read our blog here.
- Do you raise American or English Labs? Both, actually, but mainly American. Only a few of our dogs are pure English; some are a blend of American and English. Litters are usually pure American or a blend of American and English. None, so far, are pure English.
