I'm the breeder behind Ivy Leash Labradors located in Madison, IN. Breeding beautiful, healthy and well-mannered puppies is our passion. We thoughtfully breed a few litters a year from health and temperament tested English-type Labradors with exceptional pedigrees. Puppies come with a health guarantee and lifetime breeder support.
What makes Beth’s program special
What makes us special is our commitment to our puppy families as well as to improving the breed. Our dogs must meet/exceed stringent health and temperament testing before they qualify for our breeding program. If we don't expect a litter to be exceptional, we won't produce it.

Beth has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,500 - $3,000 and include a refundable deposit of $250.
“Puppy price varies depending on limited or full registration and the breeding pair used. Deposits are accepted once puppies are born. Pick order is determined by the order the deposit is received.”
Beth may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Beth offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Beth directly.
Puppies receive Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and are socialized with the Puppy Culture program. I utilize the following enrichment methods: "No" Biting or Chewing, Clicker Training, Socialized with Children, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Other Animals, Early Neurological Stimulation, Grooming Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Toys, e.g. Ball, Scents, Structures, e.g. Climbing, Household Desensitization, and Chew, e.g. Bone.
All puppies receive the first series of vaccinations. They are wormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks.
We send our puppies home with Microchipped , Certificate of Health, AKC Registration, Food Starter Bag, Puppy Starter Kit, and Vaccinations.
Beth offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We strongly encourage our families to meet us in person to pick up their new family members. However, previous Ivy Leash puppies live all over the United States and Canada and we do offer shipping options to families unable to make the trip. We do not ship our puppies via airline cargo or ground shipping companies. Flight Nanny services are available and will be arranged between the Nanny and the puppy families. Costs of these services typically range from $500 to $900 plus airline fees. Puppies must weigh less than 20 pounds. And will travel with the Flight Nanny in the cabin of the airplane.”
Why Beth started breeding
Several years ago I rescued a black Labrador that was abandoned in a tobacco field. Toby loved our family well for 12 years. When he passed, we knew we needed another Labrador in our lives. It was Toby's love that inspired us to provide others with the same joy that he gave to us.
Beth has been a member of Good Dog for over 5 years
