Hi Karin, Lee Ann and I have one of your Louie Boy puppies, his name is RiverRoad NightTrain Axl, he is 5 now and is strong as an OX! About 92lbs solid like a tank, and we love him so much.

Hi Karin,
We purchased a chocolate labfrom Colleen McCarthy’s Mom Sally in 2010. Tupper passed away after 13 1/2 years old May 25th 2023. We spoke with Colleen a few weeks back and she gave us your name. We are interested in purchasing another Chocolate Labrador in the future and would like to talk with you. Your website says to call, but we keep getting a fax machine. We’ll keep trying. Our number is 715-614-3005
Thank you for your time.

We have had two very wonderful and loving Labs in our lives both of whom are gone. We still grieve over our last one, Jake who passed away in 2013. We are now in our mid 70's and would love to have another Lab, this time a black male or female. We feel that a young adult, two to three years old would be best for us at this time. We would appreciate if someone would contact us so we can discuss our options. Thank you so much!

We purchased a chocolate lab from you in 2009. She was the best dog we’ve ever had. Sadly she passed last week at 13 1/2 years old
We will be in touch again

We bought a yellow lab in 2000 from Frank Purdy, living in NY state at the time. We now reside in Libertyville and would like to talk with you about another yellow lab for me and my wife. Our lab, Mercedes, was a wonderful dog. Loyal, mild temperament. We miss her and would like another companion. I am close to retirement, my wife is at home and we both have time to work with and be with a puppy. I hope you will contact me to talk further about the availability of a puppy. Thank you

I wanted to say one more thing, Karen...I hope you know that when you gift us with your beautiful dogs, it is more than that, it is a gift beyond measure, making our lives completely rich and fulfilling. My heart hurts so bad that my sweet Behr has gone even after a remarkably long life, it could never be long enough with him. This pain will never go away but at least I knew what it meant t to be loved by an incredible dog and to love one back with my whole heart. He was my soul buddy. So thank you Karen, because you'll never truly know how your love for labs has touched all of us so deeply and is so far reaching. Most gratefully, Angela
Angela Ramert wrote on February 25th, 2019
On 1/29/19, we had to say goodbye to our gorgeous, most loving chocolate boy, Behr who lived a remarkable 17 years and 7 months. It has taken me this long to even write something because I am truly heartbroken that he had to go. He gave us everything, joy, love, kindness, peace, strength, he was definitely our boy. I can only say that when the time comes to leave this world, I'll be looking too reunite with him. Until then, my heart will ache forever. He truly was a warrior, a champion that gave every bit of himself. Goodbye my sweet baby boy. Mommy loved you with her entire soul and will forever be changed by you.

We got our first lab in 1968 and have never looked back. The first and the best was Stormy, a black English lady who was with us for 14 years. Over the years we have always had black American labs, the English labs were too hard to find before the internet. Currently I have 3 dogs. all rescues. Holly - black lab, Lola - tri corgi, and Charlie - just a little mutt. They are all about 10 - 11 years old. After they are gone I would love to have another English girl, but at 80 that's not going to happen. My oldest son is physically handicapped and lives alone. He has always wanted an English lab like Stormy. Sometime in the future I would like to find an older lab for him. I think a puppy would be too much for him. Lab puppies are in a class by themselves! I will be contacting you in the spring for help in finding a companion for him.
Kris Kumaroo wrote on October 21st, 2018
We picked up our sweet Sadie in 2015. What a gorgeous purebred English Labrador. We receive compliments all the time. When she stands upright on all fours, looking from a distance, she has the perfect markings, perfect hardy body. We had one small issue with bladder stones. Labradors rarely if ever get stones of any kind, but a missed UTI and the environment was there for the crystals to form. She recovered fully and is the joy of our lives. At three, we are thinking about getting another one to keep her occupied. Our 17 year old Pug doesn't do it for her....lol. If I were to ever get another Labrador, I would travel back to the Chicago area and buy one from River Road Labradors. They have been breeding Labradors properly, eliminating hereditary diseases and illnesses. First class all the way! Kris (Newport, RI)

Last year we lost our sweet yellow lab Maggie... She left a hole in our families heart. We waited a few months and started searching for another lovely dog. We found our new sweet puppy Daisy we have had for almost a year now. She came to us on our sweet maggie's birthday and found out Daisy was born the day after Maggie passed. Daisy is a blessing from our beloved Maggie and has repaired the whole in our heart with her amazing and funny personality. Daisy is the best dog and we don't know what we would do without her. Would recommend this breeder to anyone and everyone. Thank you!

He has broken records for his life span at our vets office, Harris Pet Hospital in Wisconsin. He has amazing strength, is gorgeous and is the love of our lives.

We give him everything possible to keep him healthy and happy and he has not let us down. Most Sincerely, Angela and Larry Ramert

We recently lost our chocolate lab. His name was Hemi, and he was 13yrs old. We didn't want him to suffer, so we humanely euthanized him, and buried him by the lake last month. Thinking about a new brown English lab puppy. We're not planning on breeding or anything like that and would have the new dog neutered ASAP. My husband is retired and enjoys walking every day and misses our Hemi dog. We have 11 grandkids ranging from 2 months to 17yrs old, and I love the lab temperament and personality. You just can't get any better than that. Its the kind of dog we would like to have for our family.
