About Joanna
My husband and I have had Labradors for almost 30 years now. We take “the kids” with us everywhere! We have a love for dogs and are excited to share that love with you! We breed as a hobby and are determined to provide the best dogs!
What makes Joanna’s program special
Being the hobby breeders we are, we’ve had the opportunity to get to know many folks who are looking to extend their families. It so rewarding to make the connection and many have kept that connection! Our dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. We prepare all of our pups to excel in life.

Joanna 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 - $1,800 and include a refundable deposit of $500.
Joanna 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 Joanna 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 Joanna directly.
Our puppies are very socialized with many visits from family and grandchildren. Their ages range from 6-86! The mother’s mother is also in the house so there are many chances to socialize with another “fur friend” other than their mom. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Household Desensitization, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Human Interactions , Puppy Manners, and Potty Training.
All puppies will have had their first round of vaccines, are dewormed, and are taken to our vet for health checkups.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Marshview Labs hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Joanna 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 do not ship our puppies, but you are welcome to pick up your puppy at our home.”
Why Joanna started breeding
We started breeding 3 years ago and fell in love with the whole process. The best part is seeing the faces of our puppy buyers when they reunite with their pups. We truly love sharing the joy these dogs bring with others.
