I found this resource very helpful as we began searching for the right breeder:

We ended up getting ours from YBR Farm and he is an absolute sweetheart (sure was Winston).

Be prepared to wait 6 months or more from any reputable breeder. Many have waitlists and some will even interview you. Also, any breeder worth its salt will have you sign a contract which, among other things, requires that if you ever have to give up the dog you must contact them and they will take it back at any time for any reason.

Good luck
Labs are great companions and

I don't have specific recommendations, but perhaps the most important question is something along the lines of "what happens if I realize I can't be a good home for the dog?" (for example, you realize your child has an allergy, etc.) If the breeders answer is anything but "we'll take the dog back" then you have the wrong breeder.

If they don't have a litter planned, Phyllis knows everybody and should be able to put you in touch with another breeder in the area who does!

I’m an experienced dog foster with TWO orgs and we spoil our senior dog who has health issues. Excellent references Lab Rescue of Potomac rejected me. Going with another group.
