About CopperRidge Labs

Our goal at CopperRidge Labradors is to produce high quality Labrador puppies that are not only bred to AKC standards but also to have amazing temperaments. We are a preservation breeder of Labrador retrievers and only produce 1 to 3 carefully thought-out litters a year.

We chose the Labrador breed because it is the perfect canine companion. They are extremely intelligent, eager to please, easy to train, affectionate, and most importantly they provide unconditional love and devotion. Our dogs have become irreplaceable to our family and that is our hope for our puppies’ future homes.

The health of of Labrador puppies is of upmost importance. Our breeding dogs are certified through OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) for hips and elbows, their eyes are checked annually with a board certified ACVO ophthalmologist, and their hearts are checked for any evidence of congenital cardiac disease. They are also DNA clear for the following: Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Exercise-Induced Collapse (EIC), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis (HNPK), and Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), they are Dilute Free (DD).

The Harvey Family

We moved to Killingworth in 2013 to raise our family as close as we could to the way I was raised back in Utah. We have two daughters; four Labradors; Meadow, Lavender, Sandy, and Nola; a rabbit, Leia; and a gecko, Ducky. Raising puppies is a family affair and we all play our roles from birth until they go home.

“From our experience, Samantha has "dedicated her time, love and expertise" to raising outstanding puppies.  We've never seen any breeder provide a better or more positive environment for raising great pups. 

CopperRidge pups get lots of healthy interaction and activity.  They are frequently bathed, and their living/sleeping areas are exceptionally well kept and clean. Sam monitors their eating, weight and body temps. Sam also sends along frequent updated pics and videos. The dogs are meticulously well cared for.”

“Sam’s motto is “Calm Hands Make Calm Dogs” every word of that statement is true. Her pups are cared for and loved like they are in the home of their owner and best friend from the moment they are born. She is giving them all the confidence they will need to go out in the world, as soon as they are ready to leave her home. Her communication to the families who will receive these puppies is above the bar, and cannot be beat. She is always there for training advice and health questions, even after taking my puppy home. Very thankful to have found such an amazing breeder, I would highly recommend.”
