I'm the breeder behind Swift Run Labs located in Hanover, PA. We are a small family, home-based breeder producing only 2 to 4 litters a year. Our goal is to provide healthy, wonderful pets. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. Some are better for hunting families and some are best as family pets. Our dogs are all health tested and live in our home with us.
About Judy
My wife and I have always loved dogs; especially hunting dogs. That was my connection with Labs. One lab led to another, then another, and so on! We love our 9 labs as our children and get a lot of joy sharing their puppies with others.
What makes Judy’s program special
We love and care for our dogs and pups like they are our children. While we know that not every pup in each litter will grow up to become a hunting dog, we are confident that each one will become a treasured family member!

Judy 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 $1,300 - $1,800 and include a non-refundable deposit of $200.
“All puppies in a litter are the same price regardless of color or sex. Deposit is non-refundable with the exception of the puppy color or sex is not born for deposits placed before birth. We will then give you the option of either transferring the deposit to another litter or a refund.”
Judy 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 Judy 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 Judy directly.
We handle them daily and expose them to as many different noises and surfaces as possible. They meet prospective families at 6 weeks when we do interviews. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Daily handling, Surface & tactile stimulation, Various sounds, Socialized with Children, Socialized with Elderly, Sound Stimulation, Household Desensitization, Grooming Desensitization, Touch Desensitization, Toys, e.g. Ball, Chew, e.g. Bone, and Structures, e.g. Climbing.
The adults visit our vet at least once a year for a check-up and shots. The pups see the vet at 2-3 days for dewclaw removal, then a 7-week check-up before heading to their forever homes. We deworm 3-4 times before leaving and give pups their first shots and microchip them.
We send our puppies home with Toys, Food & treats, Vet records, Microchip, Registration, AKC Registration, Certificate of Health, Food Starter Bag, Microchip, and Vaccinations.
Judy 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 puppies. It's important to us that clients come to our home and meet the parents and us.”
Why Judy started breeding
After our first Lab, we were hooked! We formed a strong connection with a breeder that helped us grow our family of Labs and got us hooked on breeding our own. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine!
