Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Sun Ridge Labradors located in Pittsburgh, PA. Here at Sun Ridge we strive to produce puppies for all venues such as service dogs, sport dogs, companions, etc. We test all our breeding dogs thoroughly through OFA (hips/elbows/eyes/genetics) before breeding occurs. We also participate in dock diving placing at both regionals and nationals.

Alexis’s experience

  • About Alexis

    Since growing up with Labs I have grown a passion for the breed. With breeding them I strive to produce versatile puppies who can do it all. Service dogs, therapy dogs, sporting dogs, or companionship. I believe you can have health, temperament, athleticism, and beauty all in one dog without forgoing any of it.

  • What makes Alexis’s program special

    My breeding program is unique because I am able to dedicate all of my attention to my litters. I work from home so I am able to do more one on one time with each of my puppies to start the training foundations and make the transition to their new homes easier on both my families and the puppies. Puppies are raised with puppy culture and come with limited AKC registered and prepaid AKC Reunite.

More about Alexis

  • Why Alexis started breeding

    I got into breeding while I was training with my personal dog named Sunny. During that time I was introduced to several incredible breeders who ignited my passion in dog breeding. I found the world of dog breeding endlessly fascinating so I began my research to educate myself on how to responsibly breed dogs. Learning how to read pedigrees, health testing, competition, etc.
