Juniper Ridge British and American Labrador Retrievers - Exceptional Champion Line Labrador Retrievers

Last updated 4 August 2024

We are a small breeder located on a spacious farm near De Soto, Missouri, just south of Saint Louis in Jefferson County. We primarily serve the Mid-West but will also work across the country.

Our specialty is British (English) and British – American Labrador Retrievers. Our British line is derived from the 2020 Irish Labrador of the Year and our American is a known US Field Trial Champion FTCH, acquiring the title at the age of 3.

We breed with a purpose and have a passion for drawing out the best potential from each puppy from the earliest stages of development, making them ready for Service, Sport, Home & Adventure.

Whether you are searching for a hunting companion, general gun dog, agility star, adventure buddy, service animal or family pet, you will find the quality and characteristics you desire in our program.

Our Method

We whelp and raise our pups in the house alongside our three other British Labrador Retrievers. From day four after their birth through day sixteen, they experienced their first exercises, Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS). Since that time, they have been handled several times a day and have been exposed to not only the rest of our pack but to many other socialization situations and various environmental conditions.

From day one we weigh each pup to monitor health and record general observations about the litter and mama. As each puppy develops their personality, we record individual observations and traits. Our goal is to match you with the perfect dog with the traits you want for a lifetime of companionship, work and fun.

We physically interact with each puppy during feeding time and create that special human – canine bond with body and paw massages daily and eye contact.

When they are ready to go home with you, your pup will have had at least six vet checkups and will come to you microchipped, fully vaccinated for their age, dewormed, flea and tick treatment, a week’s supply of premium puppy food and American Kennel Club AKC registration, which is included with your purchase, and have started with basic obedience training.
