Mykiss Labradors
Our Breeding Program
We 're here to honor the breed's legacy, not chase profits
As preservation breeders, we’re committed to safeguarding the integrity, temperament, and soundness that define the Labrador Retriever. Each pairing is purposeful, chosen to preserve our pedigree lineage and uphold breed standards—not to produce puppies for profit. Our goal is to honor the Labrador’s heritage while shaping its future, one generation at a time.
All litters are born and raised in our home. Throughout their time here, puppies experience introduction to early crate and potty training, car rides, and socialization to facilitate their adjustment to new homes. Although it is generally intended that one puppy remains, the decision is made when the puppies are approximately seven to nine weeks old. Each puppy receives equal care until this decision is finalized.
Puppies are gradually introduced to various sights, sounds, smells, textures, and environments daily. When suitable, they encounter different people, children when possible—and interact with other animals to encourage confidence and adaptability.
All puppies are placed as family companions on AKC Limited Registration, with a Lifetime First Right of Refusal. They are not available for breeding, and the breeder maintains continued responsibility for each puppy. If a family cannot continue to provide proper care at any stage or for any reason, the breeder will accept the dog back.
Vaccinations and deworming are maintained regularly, and every puppy is microchipped before placement. Support is provided throughout the dog's life, based on experience and knowledge.
Upcoming Litters & Puppies
While we currently do not have puppies available, we're excited to share that an all-chocolate litter is planned for late this fall.
In the meantime, our boys continue to sire exceptional litters worldwide—carrying forward the qualities that define Mykiss Labradors.

Raising a puppy
The first three months of a puppy’s life are a critical window for socialization. During this stage, puppies learn how to interact with the world and build confidence. The AKC How to Raise a Confident Puppy is a great starting point, offering practical, day-by-day guidance to shape a resilient and well-rounded dog.
As your puppy grows, understanding developmental milestones becomes vital. From house training to basic cues, the AKC How to Train a Labrador Retriever Puppy: Milestone Timeline breaks down the first year of growth and learning—so you’re never caught off guard.
Looking to add structure and fun to your training routine? The AKC S.T.A.R Puppy program is a fantastic place to start. It teaches manners, builds foundational skills, and prepares your puppy for future achievements like the Canine Good Citizen title.
