Meet the breeder
I'm Zach K., the breeder behind K4 Kennels- British Labs located in Blue Earth, MN. We offer top-quality British Labrador Retrievers. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament with a focus on strong hunting and retrieving pedigrees supported by generations of top-performing Labs in AKC, HRC hunt tests, and field trials. We are dedicated to providing puppy owners with healthy dogs that strive to please and become loyal family members!
Q. & A. with Zach
Why did you start breeding?
My father bred Labs when I was growing up, so it felt natural for me to start my own program and continue on with the legacy. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others.What makes your program special?
My dogs are phenomenal sporting dogs and their hunting, dock diving, field training, and retrieving abilities are really strong in my line. In addition to their ability, I also place an emphasis on producing dogs with excellent health, structure, and temperament. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the British Labrador Retriever line!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent dogs
Boone, dad
Labrador Retriever
About Boone
Boone has surpassed all expectations. Sired by FTCh Stauntonvale “Moose” Milk, Boone has exceptional natural retrieving abilities earning his HRCH and MH9 titles. He also earned his first Master National Pass in 2025. His determination in the field has led him on multiple 300+ yard retrieves while taking directions well. He has excellent manors in the house and with the family. His pups have shown great promise and look forward to seeing them develop into fantastic dogs.
Piper, mom
Labrador Retriever
About Piper
Greyquill Rhea “Piper” joined the K4 family at 10 weeks of age when she was imported directly from Ireland, flying alongside her Field Trial Champion father, Apache Outlaw. She has turned into a wonderful addition to our family with her easy-going temperament, and loving personality. In the field she is a powerhouse with speed and drive when bolting towards a retrieve. She takes corrections well, while eagerly willing to please. We look forward to watching her offspring flourish as not only family dogs, but as avid hunting companions and competing in hunt tests and field trials.
Libby, mom
Labrador Retriever
About Libby
Libby's unconditional love and devotion shine through her pups. Her calm temperament, desire to please and willingness to learn are unmatched. In the field she works with desire and determination and an unrelenting willingness to retrieve fallen game. Libby's lines have been in our family since 2006 and continue to love and cherish her companionship. Big things come in small packages with this girl!

Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), D Locus (Dilute) DNA test
