About AKC Chocolate Labs from Proven Hunting Bloodlines

These adorable Chocolate Labrador puppies are looking for their forever homes! They come from champion hunting bloodlines and are bred for sound temperament, trainability, and natural retrieving ability. Raised with daily handling and started on pellet potty training, these pups are well on their way to becoming wonderful companions. They will go home with their AKC registration, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a puppy starter pack.

Ideal Home

These puppies would thrive in an active home that can provide them with the exercise and mental stimulation a Labrador needs. Their strong retrieving instincts mean they'd be great partners for outdoor adventures.

Ongoing Health

Both parents are OFA registered, indicating good hip and elbow health. The puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming before going to their new homes.

Training & Support

These puppies have already been started on pellet potty training, which is a great head start for housetraining. Their breeding for trainability means they are eager to learn and will likely excel with positive reinforcement methods.
