Best Kept Labs

Welcome to the world of Best Kept Labradors!

We are a small kennel in Upstate New York just 3 miles from the St. Lawrence Seaway splitting the US from Canada. There are 110 acres with two ponds for our canine pals to enjoy with us. 

Our puppies are loved from before birth. We take great pride in the care and selection of their parents and the care they receive while preparing for their forever homes. Puppies are identified in order of their birth. Initial health assessment, weight, color, time of birth are recorded and puppy tagged within seconds of their momma's initial inspection.

Daily charts are kept for each puppy assessing it's growth and notes of interest are made.

All puppies visit the Limerick Veterinary Clinic or Countryside Veterinary at 6 weeks of age for a health assessment and their first set of shots. Check them out at https://cvcpets.com/ and   http://limerickveterinaryclinic.com/

BKL IS TAKING A BREAK FROM HAVING PUPPIES. 

Our fur baby parents have lives beyond procreating.  We will be spending some time training and going on the road for competitions.

If you are looking for quality puppies please check out our friends at MLC Labradors.

Their website is www.mlclabradors.com and email is mlclabs@yahoo.com

Let them know we sent you.

We are very proud to have earned a reputation for genetically health testing our breeding pairs.

Health testing is our first requirement to accepting any pup into our breeding program. We test for ALL 15 GENETIC DISEASES known to the Labrador Retriever Breed using Paw Print Genetics in Spokane, Washington. Click on the link above to view their website. There are many genetic testing companies out there but none of them (in our opinion) provide the accuracy and quality of Paw Print Genetics.

 The original three!  Koko has sired most of the Best Kept Labs litters and is now living a wonderful life in retirement as the center of attention with a very good friend.  Kiera had our first litter.  Grace came from that litter.

Have you ever tried to get your dog to set still for one picture?  Getting six to set still at the same time was an absolute hoot!

This is where we started.  There have been a lot of changes since then and I believe we have some phenomenal lines and improved fur family today because of some great mentors. 

Life is always moving forward at BEST KEPT LABS!
