Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Morning Mist Kennels located in Florence, MT. We produce limited numbers of genetically superior Labradors through careful selection of parents. We care deeply about this breed. We commit ourselves towards preparing each one of our puppies to thrive in their new homes, and we enjoy working with their new families so that they can raise their beloved companions with confidence!

Don’s experience

  • About Don

    I am a retired engineer and hunting guide. I have always had high-quality Labrador Retrievers in my life, and understand the need for genetically sound dogs.

  • What makes Don’s program special

    Our parent dogs are selected from the best of the best, whether they are dogs from our own bloodlines or dogs that we import from other super high-quality breeders. All parent dogs are DNA tested to be clear of all identifiable hereditary faults that can be identified. OFA screening, to identify dysplasia, etc, is performed on all dogs.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Each pup is individually handled often by numerous family members, as well as the entire litter is interacted with very frequently.

Puppy health practices

All puppies go to a local veterinarian for their first shots and a complete physical examination, in order to ensure that they are free of any identifiable conditions. This along with our other precautions on parent selection are what enable us to put a health guarantee on our pups.

Extras

Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Morning Mist Kennels 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.

More about Don

  • Why Don started breeding

    I got into breeding because I was tired of seeing all of the poorly bred, inbred, overbred dogs in this country. By carefully selecting parents, DNA testing, and OFA testing to ensure that our pups are sound helps ensure that both our pups and their owners have a good experience in their lives.
