We start our puppies on house training, crate training, work on bite inhibition, impulse control, sound acclimation, as well as basic commands and manners. Puppies are well socialized, using the ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) protocol as well as Puppy Culture (click the icon below to learn more) methods.
We follow a holistic natural rearing philosophy, regarding our dogs' and puppies' health; puppies are raw fed, with minimal medical intervention and utilizing a host of non-toxic, natural, holistic, herbal, and homeopathic wellness options, along with Young Living Essential Oils and supplements, working hand in hand with our teams of veterinarians and traditional veterinary care. We are seeking like-minded families and those interested in incorporating this approach, for our puppies.
We do not produce, nor condone dilute coat genetics (aka "silver" Lab mixes), "doodling", or other faddish "designer" mixes being touted as breeds.
Proud to be an AKC BRED WITH H.E.A.R.T. and Puppy Culture Breeder!
Thanks for visiting! Please explore our site and have a look at our precious puppies.

GOOD DOG:
Update - 2023: While we maintain a profile on Good Dog for visibility/searchability, we are no longer able to accept applications through their site due to Oct 2022 changes in their purchase and client contact policies. These policies contradict their original stated function as a website to showcase ethical breeders who health test their dogs, with NO FINANCIAL OBLIGATION to create/maintain a profile and all its functions. Additionally, Good Dog's original terms included a promise that payments through their site would always be OPTIONAL and free for the breeder. Now, in order to access applications from interested clients, breeders must agree to receive all payments, and all further correspondence through Good Dog's site. These new policies are nothing more than a bait & switch, which has made their site and the breeders accepting payments through them, online pet brokers.
If you found us through Good Dog's site, please communicate with us directly via email; answering inquiries through their site requires us to enter a legally binding agreement to these constrictive policies designed to ensure they make money off of every puppy purchase, which in effect, makes Arctic Texan Labradors an online puppy marketplace where you click a link, check some boxes, make a payment, and order a puppy. NOPE. It also restricts our ability to contact you via ANY other means than Good Dog's site, which does not allow for in-person meetings, or provide features for phone or video contact to discuss questions or concerns and see the puppies, to attach our informational and research documents, to use our own questionnaire or contract, and many other restrictions that discourage actually getting to know the people who will become our pups' lifelong caregivers. https://www.gooddog.com/good-breeder-center/on-platform-policy .
