About Our Family
We have worked professionally with dogs for close to four decades now, but several years ago I viewed my first full, English Labrador. We immediately set a goal of obtaining good breeding stock because we were smitten by the English Labrador’s exceptional conformation, gentle temperaments, and keen awareness. These qualities captured us! Fast forward to today: my sons and I are striving to breed the highest quality full, English Labradors in the world. Because we are dog lovers first, we work hard to ensure that you experience a dog that you will never forget. These efforts are backed by decades of dedicated breeding experience, and you can rest assured that great passion has gone into this level of quality breeding. We consider it a privilege to have the job of adding a new family member to your family, and we are so thankful for every member of the Smoky Mtn Family who have purchased from us over the years. We work extremely hard to make this a journey that brings so much joy to you and your family!
Lab Breeders in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee
Humbled, is the word that we often are reminded of so often! Our love for dogs has allowed us to meet some of the most wonderful people in the world. Being raised in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, our love for helping the less fortunate in the Appalachian Mountains truly is where our hearts lie.
God Bless,

Why English Labradors?
Temperament
The thing we love the most about our English Labradors is their temperament! English Labs are known to be laid back, friendly, and outgoing dogs that make the perfect lifelong companion and family dog. This is something that we as breeders work hard to protect in their bloodlines. With a simple internet search, you can find that English Labradors are used as therapy dogs, Veterans’ companions, and many other assistants because of their unique capacity to love. We may be bias, but we believe this is what makes the English Labrador the greatest dog in the world.

Character
The Labrador Retriever is unusually adaptable, obedient, and kind-hearted. No wonder it’s so popular! Labradors are sociable, affectionate, and loyal. They have a very keen sense of smell. Most adult Labradors are athletic, and puppies are particularly active. However, at the end of the day, Labradors are known to be the best forever companion. Whether you take this dog to the lake, your child’s soccer game, or the local park, everyone will marvel at the kindness of a Labrador.
