I'm the breeder behind Sedgehaven located in Pennsylvania. We built our program with care and intention in every step. We care deeply about the health and wellbeing of this breed. Our dogs are outstanding Labrador Retrievers. We take pride in both their accomplishments in the ring and their amazing temperaments and abilities at home. They produce wonderful pups, and we are happy to be able to provide other families and individuals with extraordinary Labrador puppies.
