Thank you for visiting VETERAN RETRIEVERS, here you will Experience Our Passion!  Owned and operated by Chuck & Raquel Gibbs.  Chuck is a West Point Graduate and Disabled Army Veteran having served our nation for 14 years as an Attack Helicopter Pilot & Commander.  Our family has over 3 decades worth of experience raising Labradors as family members, service dogs, dock dogs, and field/hunting dogs.  We are excited about the opportunity to share our love of animals with our customers.  We take great pride in our process and facilities, but the health and safety of our animals is always our top priority! 

 We are into our third decade of raising, training, and breeding Labrador Retrievers.  We have owned all 3 AKC Primary Color Phases (Black, Yellow, and Chocolate) and fully mastered the genetics behind Recessive, Dilute Genes (Charcoal, Champagne, and Silver), and the various color variations of each (Fox Red, White, and Dudley).  All our breeders and puppies are registered with AKC.  We aim to have our puppies potty trained, leash trained, crate trained, doggie door trained and sleeping through the night before their 7th week. 

  All of our breeders are AKC registered and have had complete genetic testing of over 150 diseases known to their specific breeds and canines in general.  Our Breeders have their hips, elbows, hearts, and teeth evaluated and certified through the OFA.  Our Labradors hail from great pedigrees, including military working dogs, service dogs, show dogs, and championship levels of field and hunting lines.  Our breeders are on site and are loving members of our family.  All puppies come with their dew claws removed, AKC registration, age-appropriate vaccinations, de-wormed, a health guarantee, and a puppy care package.  Puppies are raised in our home and are provided with early training in both verbal and non-verbal commands, as well as the use of a doggie-door, crate training, and leash training.  Raised on over 10 acres and our lake house, they are exposed to various other animals and water...our puppies are well socialized and should expect to see adults between 50-90 pounds full grown.
