Labrador Retrievers come in three colors- black, brown, and yellow. Yellow includes a color subcategory of polar white, cream, fox red and dark fox red. A popular trend is to produce a dilute gene from breeding Labrador Retrievers with Weimaraners, resulting in puppies with silver, strawberry, champagne, bronze, or charcoal coats. This dilute breeding is linked to a skin disease known as Color Dilution Alopecia. We are a 100% dilute free kennel.
The American type labs tend to be higher energy; often leaner with a sleek coat and longer legs tailored for duck retrieving fieldwork; adults range from 21.5“- 24.5” at the withers and 55-80 lbs. English type labs are often the calmer side of the breed; stockier with blocky heads, thicker bodies and coats, and the distinctive “otter tails”, and they are more likely to be used in show bench conformation; adults range from 21.5”-22.5” at the withers and 60-85 lbs.
Labrador Retrievers are a fun-loving family friendly large breed with medium to high energy levels. These dogs love a good challenge, and will jump at the opportunity to play, run, hike, retrieve and interact with people. We encourage all prospective puppy owners to do their research when determining what breed is right for you and your lifestyle.
Health Screening
We take the longevity of our dogs seriously, doing all that we can to see to it that they live a long and healthy life. We breed 100% Labrador Retrievers (no dilute gene breeding). All Kingdom Kenelz Labradors are screened for any health issues that are characteristic of the labrador retriever breed. This includes (but is not limited to) Embark DNA testing, and OFA for Hips & Elbows.
We also perform puppy screening checks and veterinarian references for every potential adoptive family. Our goal is to ensure that every dog is well matched to his/her adoptive family and goes from our birth home to his/her forever home.
Our Lab Family
We offer English type Labrador Retrievers. Our AKC/UKC registered dogs are from remarkable bloodlines with ancestry pedigrees including titles in RA, TKI, CGC, CD, JH, SH, MH, MHR, HRCH, UH, AM/CAN CH, CH, TD, FC, AFC, NFC. Our dogs are well accomplished with basic to advanced AKC titles. Several have passed their therapy certifications with Alliance of Therapy Dogs, as well as AKC Trick Dog Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Performer and VHMA titling. Our dogs have been exposed to cats, as well as handled by toddlers and children on a daily basis. At birth we start handling our puppies daily, and we start teaching them to come when called as soon as they can walk. Basic obedience training and exposure to new situations begins from 8 weeks on.

We would highly recommend Kingdom Kenelz Labradors as an exceptional dog breeder. Their dedication to breeding healthy, well-socialized puppies is unparalleled. Their passion for animals shines through in every aspect of their operation. They go above and beyond to ensure the health and happiness of their dogs. Each and every dog is raised with love and care, ensuring they are well-adjusted and ready to become beloved family members. Not only do they raise their puppies with love and care, they make sure each potential home is conducive to a successful and happy environment. We were asked to provide photos of Cooper’s living and playing spaces and our vet was called to determine our dedication to our fur baby's well-being. Their diligent screening process put us at ease knowing that their priority is the well-being of their puppies. We wholeheartedly endorse Kingdom Kenelz to anyone seeking a furry companion of exceptional quality and character. On a scale of 1 – 10, we would give both Kingdom Kenelz and Trinity (trainer) a 10+. ~Kenny and Brenda
