We are a family breeder of AKC Labrador Retrievers in beautiful Northern Michigan (East Jordan, MI 49727). Our family's mission and purpose is to share the love and support of our Labradors with families near and far! 

 

We are Dan and Stephanie Sutton; we married in 2009 and started our family shortly after. Our son Ethan was born in 2010, and our daughter Paisley was born in 2013. We added our first Labrador, Gauge, to our family in 2011. We were so blessed to have him join our family and were amazed by his loving and loyal temperament. We then welcomed our second Labrador Mitzi to our family; she was just as perfect! We were in love and had to share these amazing Labradors with other families! 

 

Our puppies are family-raised in our home with lots of love and attention, from assisted births to go-home days! Our goal is to improve the breed, and we strive to produce that loving, great temperament, which is the true hallmark of the breed. Our puppies are wonderful family companions, hunting companions, and truly best friends to many happy families. Additionally, many of our puppies are service dogs for special and emotional needs. We take pride in the joy each puppy brings to their new family.

 

Our Labradors are very important to us! They are evaluated for both health and temperament. All are Labrador health panel tested, Orthopedic Foundation of America (OFA) hip, elbow, and eye certified before breeding. We carefully plan each breeding to ensure we do everything possible to produce healthy and sound puppies.

 

We limit visiting of our home until puppies have been vaccinated to protect their health.  All puppies have first set of shots, deworming and a vet exam before going home. We send out a detailed welcome letter with recommendations and important information to prepare families weeks before the go-home date. Each puppy is sent home with a nice go home pack, including high-quality food, vitamins, a blanket with mom and littermates scent, toys, treats, and more.

 

Our puppies are placed in pet and service homes with AKC-limited papers only.  Our puppies come with a lifetime guarantee against common diseases known in Labradors and 26 month written hip guarantee. Sutton Labrador Retrievers reserves the right to pick(s) of any litter. 

​
