I'm the breeder behind Obedience 2 Death located in Denham Springs, LA. We raise, train and competition hunt Labrador Retrievers to use in our ministry. Our dogs must have great on and off switches. We are responsible breeders and want to make sure we are doing our part to give our dogs the best life possible.
About Johnny
I have been around hunting dogs and had family dogs my entire life. I was taught to always strive to breed dogs that would better the breed. Today, we breed for great temperament, disposition, and trainability.
What makes Johnny’s program special
We take care to be very selective in our breeding program. Health testing, genetics, and temperament are crucial components of our program.

Johnny 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 Johnny 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 Johnny directly.
We spend lots of quality time with our puppies. We make sure they are socialized with people, exposed to lots of surfaces, and noises. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Noises , Various Surfaces , and Socialized with Children.
All our dogs and puppies are checked regularly and will be up to date on all vaccinations and deworming. The puppies will leave with health certificates and healthy pup guarantees.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Obedience 2 Death 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.
Johnny 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.
Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.

Obedience 2 Death reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Labrador Retrievers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), D Locus (Dilute) DNA test, PawPrint Genetic Panel (Breed Specific), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
