Welcome Home Labs Welcomes You!
Lab Breeder in Iowa
Welcome Home Labs offers champion bred Labrador Retrievers.
We are located in the beautiful country side west of Washington, Iowa (Southeast Iowa). We are approximately 45 miles south of Cedar Rapids, IA.
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.
