Lab Breeder in Minnesota

Welcome Home Labs offers champion bred Labrador Retrievers.

We are approximately 100 miles north of the Twin Cities- St. Paul/ Minneapolis, Minnesota area and 40 miles south of Duluth, Minnesota. It is our passion and privilege to provide quality champion bred English Lab puppies to individuals and families.

The English Lab is known to be gentle, intelligent, willing, quick to learn, athletic, therapeutic, great with kids and has the focus and trainability to be an excellent hunt companion or service dog. The English Lab has a stocky, blocky build for a stunningly gorgeous, moderately sized dog coupled with a loving family temperament.

The puppies are born in our home. Raising pups in our home allows us to monitor their health and growth closely and we are also able to enjoy the precious peeps and movements from the first moments of life. We believe that the social and emotional development is important during the English Labs first days and weeks so we start them out with love, family care, daily handling and socialization. As they grow we expose them to a variety of experiences so they can become well adjusted adult family companions.

We strive to provide hard working families high quality Labradors at a fair price. In addition to the care and socialization provided we perform health clearances on our adults to ensure healthy genetics for our puppies. These tests include OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) x-rays for hips and elbows with a rating of GOOD or EXCELLENT and OFA for heart, CERF/CAER for eyes by an ophthalmologist, Optigen(prcd-PRA), CNM (centro nuclear myopathy), EIC (exercise induced collapse), RD/OSD (retinal dysplasia/oculo skeletal dysplasia) and cardiac testing.

We operate with honesty and integrity.

Happy Holidays Bryce and Gina,

Lilly Lou Juniper JujuBelle Swintak Waite  (DOB 12/22/16: the pink one from her litter) just turned one and we wanted to share some of the highlights of her first year with you.  She is a wonderful, sweet, loving, energetic, adventurous, fearless, loving, loving, loving dog!  Her big sister Strudel is her best friend and biggest hero, and she’s never met a day- or a person- that she didn’t  greet with a full body tail wag! She’s not tall, but she’s a very solid, muscular 56 pounds (outweighing her sister …).  She’s a good traveler and has been on many road trips.  We can’t imagine/don’t want to imagine life without her!  

Please thank Gloria and Lightning for sharing their daughter with us- let them know that we think Lilly is PERFECT!
We wish you and your family all the best for 2018!
Cosima, Charlie, Strudel and Lilly Swintak-Waite
