Both parents carry OFA Excellent or Good hip certifications, OFA Normal elbows, cardiac clearances from a board-certified cardiologist, and annual CAER eye exams. DNA panels confirm EIC, CNM, HNPK, and SD2 clearances.
Puppies are whelped in our bedroom and spend every day of their first eight weeks in the heart of our family. They are handled from birth, crate-acclimated, and introduced to children, appliances, music, and outdoor surfaces.
We follow the Puppy Culture socialisation programme — the gold standard in early canine development. ENS exercises from days 3–16 build stress resilience and neural pathways that last a lifetime.
All of our breeding dogs hold AKC registration and CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) numbers, meaning their health clearances are publicly verifiable on the OFA website.
When you leave with a Gentle Paw puppy, you don't leave alone. We remain available for the life of every dog we place — for training questions, health advice, and the joy of watching them grow.
Every puppy goes home with AKC papers, 5-generation pedigree, complete vet records, microchip registration, health guarantee, puppy care guide, and comfort item from the litter.
The most popular breed in America for 32 consecutive years — and for very good reason. Here are the traits that make the Labrador Retriever incomparable.
Contact us to introduce yourself and discuss your family, lifestyle, and what you're hoping for in a Labrador.
Complete our adoption questionnaire. This helps us understand your home and ensure we place the right puppy with you.
A $500 non-refundable deposit secures your place in the litter and confirms your commitment to the placement.
At 6–7 weeks we conduct temperament assessments and work together to identify which puppy best matches your household.
Your puppy goes home at 8 weeks with full documentation, a care package, and our personal contact for lifetime support.
From the very first phone call, we knew Gentle Paw was different. Sarah spent forty-five minutes asking about our family before she ever mentioned availability. Biscuit arrived home calm, crate-trained, and already responding to his name. At two years old he has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen and is one of the best decisions our family has ever made.
We had two young children and were anxious about adding a puppy. The Holloways matched us with Juniper at seven weeks — a calm, nurturing female who has never shown an ounce of aggression in three years. Their post-placement support was extraordinary. They were available for every training question and every moment of first-year uncertainty. We cannot imagine our family without her.
As a professional dog trainer I've worked with hundreds of breeders' puppies. Gentle Paw consistently produces the most well-prepared puppies I've encountered in fifteen years of practice. The ENS protocol is visible in how these dogs handle novelty — they are curious, not reactive. My clients with Gentle Paw Labs learn faster, settle quicker, and have fewer problem behaviours than any other line I work with.
