Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind the Learning Lab located in Fulton, MS. I offer top-quality Labrador Retriever puppies with a focus on health, form, and function. I believe quality is more important than quantity. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability!
