We know that the search for a reliable breeder can be tough at times... but, once I clicked on the S&P Labradors facebook page I was all in. From the beginning, I could tell that Sue and Paul devote themselves to their puppies and the Labrador breed. They breed to make sure you are getting an incredibly healthy dog. I have had an amazing experience while working with Sue and Paul (and momma Riley). Being a first-time lab owner, and puppy owner, they educated me on how to raise my pup, 15 weeks later and they continue to be by my side. The pups are raised in a clean environment with proper care. My favorite part was when Sue posted cute and funny pictures and videos on the facebook page weekly. I have had my pup for 2 months now and she has the best personality and temper and is incredibly stunning. She is eager to learn and picks up tricks so quickly. I most definitely recommend Sue and Paul and I am so thankful to have found such an amazing breeder.

S & P Labradors is definitely rated #1 in our family, one of thee best breeders we have encountered. We can not express how devoted, caring and knowledgeable Sue & Paul Maria are with every one of their litters. They spend endless hours from early morning to night, diligently teaching their puppies; from basic training commands (sit, quiet, etc...), neurological stimulation, water exposure, sensory stimulation and socializing. Every family is guaranteed to get a well-mannered puppy. They spend one on one time with each puppy, calling them by their name and letting them bond with a family belonging to learn the scent of their humans before going off to their new "furever" homes. They also allow families to visit their puppy for that special bonding time. They are the nicest people and genuinely care about their dogs, puppies and the adopting families. Sue is readily accessible to guide the new owners as she is an experienced resource. She is eager to help in any way from before the puppies are born through the life of the puppy. We were amazed at how they had an entire litter sit at attention and have them respond to their names. I could write a book about how great the entire process was for us. Our experience with S & P Labradors was so fun and very informative, we learned so much from Sue & Paul Maria. If you want a well-behaved, beautiful, healthy and clean lab then S & P Labradors is the breeder for you. No one will EVER walk away disappointed in any way, it's impossible! We have a gorgeous, well-mannered, happy and healthy chocolate lab, thanks to Riley & Ted Williams and of course Sue & Paul Maria. S & P Labradors made us one happy family. We love you S & P Labradors!!!!

We brought "Bear" home a week ago. He has some big paws to fill after the sudden loss of our Bernese Mountain Dog. Sue and Paul agreed that since we were looking to add a dog to our family to come look at the pup anyway. We instantly fell in love. Our entire family, 3 boys and my mom loved him right off the bat. Our youngest saying that the "hole in his heart was filling back in". Bear has been nothing short of wonderful. He is active and fun and very very smart. Sue and Paul have been there to answer any questions and help with the pitfalls of puppyhood. This has been a wonderful experience. He is already a wonderful new little brother to our 3 boys. Anyone seeking an English Lab with a sweet disposition and sweet face look no further.

Sue and Paul are the best lab breeders EVER! We will be picking up our second dog from them and couldn’t be more thrilled. They are so helpful with any questions or concern you may have and they take excellent care of their dogs and the pups.

S&P Labradors is absolutely a first-class breeder. Our personal experience with Sue and Paul has been phenomenal! Sue and Paul have been actively responsive to all our questions and have well prepared us for new puppy adoption. It is so clear how devoted Sue and Paul are to each of their dogs and puppies through the interaction they have with each adoptive family. They have been open and welcoming to visits to their home to see our puppy and puppy’s parents. Each dog and puppy is lively, friendly, healthy, clean and well-behaved. Sue has demonstrated extensive knowledge on Labrador behavior and skill in training - she had a whole litter of 7-week old puppies all sitting on command! We are so excited to have Reuben in our family and would recommend S & P Labradors to anyone looking to expand their Fur-ever family!

Just when I thought there was no hope in finding a good breeder in the area I stumbled across Sue and Paul's website late one night. From the moment I spoke to Sue for a while I knew we picked the perfect breeder. Sue and Paul are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.They are extremely helpful and accommodating if you want to schedule time to see your pup or scope out the house before you decide on going with them. They care about their dogs as if they were their own children. Not only do they give you an amazingly well trained pup, but they also keep in touch with you so you are well informed on what you should be doing with your pup. Even after you get your pup from them they are still more than willing to answer questions in a timely fashion. After the long wait it was completely worth it and we are thrilled with our decision to go with them.

If you are looking for an outstanding lab breeder you could not do any better than S&P Labradors. My experience with Sue and Paul has been awesome. I met my beautiful. black Lab pup, Pepper, when she was 4 weeks old. You can even make appointments to visit and begin the bonding process with your pup. I think I also bonded with Sue too on these visits! She is amazing! The love, devotion and time she gives to the puppies and her willingness to share her knowledge of the breed and experience in raising her own dogs is priceless. I recommend you find S&P on Facebook and look at the pictures and videos Sue takes to see the things she does to socialize and expose them to different situations...so cute and fun to watch. I could go on and on how great this process was but I'll stop! Thank you Fenway and sweet Allie for my beautiful girl! And if I can come back in another life, I want it to be as one of Sue and Paul's dogs!!!

Our new puppy Mila has been nothing but a joy to have in our home. We love her and so do all that meet her. Some even want to keep her for themselves!! Mila is a very happy puppy that knows her name, sits while waiting for her food and is well on her way to crate and potty training!! S& P Labradors are more than dog breeders, they truly love their dogs and work hard to ensure their dogs are GREAT pets and a credit to their breed. Sue & Paul work with their puppies to ensure a smooth and happy transition to furever homes. S&P Labrador Facebook page is filled with examples of the work done before puppies go home!! We are very, very pleased and impressed with our new fur baby!!

We were lucky enough to get a puppy from Allie's first litter. We brought Gideon home on June 6. Since we have had Gideon home with us, we have showed him off to family and friends. He has gotten rave reviews. Gideon is extremely friendly and has been great with people he has never met before. Our situation in getting a pup was unique and we could not have asked for nicer people to deal than Sue and Paul. Sue constantly sent pictures of the puppies to us and kept us updated almost daily on their development. Sue treated the puppies as her own and did everything she could to prepare them for their new homes. Gideon comes from 2 great parents, Allie and Fenway. Allie is a certified therapy dog and Fenway may be the smartest dog we have ever met. We feel blessed to have Gideon at our home. We also consider Sue and Paul as friends, not just breeders. We have spoken to Sue a number of times since Gideon has been with us and she has given us some great advise and answered all of our questions. We cannot think of better people to get a great "new best friend" from.

We have had Luna for a week today! She is the most amazing pup we could have asked for. She is a fast learner, she knows her name, comes when called, she knows to sit and lay down. She loves to be with the kids and that was very important for us!! Sue and Paul have been great to us, they welcomed us as a family from day one. Till today they still check in to make sure everyone is adjusting well, and to answer any questions we may have. They have so much knowledge with the all the pups, and will always give the best advice! The are so supportive and have helped us through this whole process, and I know they will continue to do so. I highly recommend S&P Labradors to anyone looking for a great addition to the family! Thank you so much Sue & Paul, you are the best!!

Kathy Bailey said on Nov 21, 2016 9:20 PM

What a great experience working with S&P to adopt our new puppy. They truly love their dogs and their puppies. This is our second lab and we thought we knew it all but oh no! Sue & Paul taught us a lot about being puppy parents and the importance of training. I feel like a brand new dog Mom! We have a black male named Douglas and he's been great! Either sleeps or plays with full puppy force! I feel confident that I can rely on S&P with any training or care questions about our new furever pup! Best call we could have made choosing S&P!

Lola is my beautiful yellow lab from Bailey and Fenway's Fall 2016 litter. I have had her home with me for less than a week, but I could have never imagined a more well behaved, trained, well mannered 8 week old puppy. I can not say enough good things about The Maria's and how wonderful and exciting they have made this whole experience from day 1. The proof of the care, love, and time put in with teaching and training by Sue and Paul is in the calm temperament and behavior of my puppy. I was able to visit Lola on a weekly basis starting at 4 weeks. Sue and Paul were so welcoming and informative during my time spent in their home. I am so lucky to be the owner of an S&P Lab and highly recommend them to anyone interested. To The Marias - it was a pleasure getting to know you both and will be sending lots of pictures as Lola grows. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!

Laurie and Tim said on Nov 18, 2016 8:30 AM

Sue and Paul were fantastic to work with. Throughout the entire process, from our initial contact until we picked up our new guy Tucker, they were responsive, caring, and professional. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We recommend them without hesitation!

Diane Berard said on Nov 17, 2016 7:06 PM

We picked up our little yellow lab puppy on 11/16/16 her mother was Bailey and father was Fenway. We could not be happier. So well trained and socialized. We are amazed at how alert and smart she is. I am so glad I chose them they are the best breeders around. I highly will recommend them to anybody I know that will be a good dog owner. I am 60 years old and I wish I were younger so that I would be able to own many more dogs from this breeder. So knowledgeable I have the upmost trust in anything they recommend.I will raise my Bella just as they have taken care of their dogs. Thank you Sue and Paul to your commitment to raising the best puppies. Diane and Henry.

Dale Andersen said on Jun 17, 2016 7:03 PM

We purchased a female puppy from Bailey- Fenway litter in March. She is by far one of the smartest puppies I have ever had. She has joined into our family and become a lifelong pal of our other 2 dogs unbelievably well. When I decide to add to our family again with a yellow, the first people I contact will be Sue and Paul. Thank you for this great puppy!

Brittany LeFave said on May 31, 2016 1:42 PM

I can not say enough good things about Sue and Paul and their labs. I brought Mowgli home on 5/5 but had already visited him multiple time before then. Sue was always easy to communicate with, there to answer any questions, and always kept us updated on the puppies. When I brought Mowgli home I was amazed at how much he already knew, his name, how to sit, rarely had any accidents in the house and was the perfect temperament. He is almost 12 weeks now, getting bigger and smarter every day, we take him everywhere and he loves it. If you are looking for a lab look now further I can assure you will not be disappointed with the quality, compassion, and dedication S&P Labradors puts forth.

Matt Gillis said on May 30, 2016 9:29 AM

We were so impressed with S & P, we decided last summer to wait for the 2016 litter. Sue has incredible knowledge of raising pups and is the most highly ethical breeder you will find. Her bottom line is to raise healthy, well socialized pups and to find the perfect home for them. We have had Gus for 3 weeks and he is doing great with my family of 5 and another lab as his big brother. Incredibly well socialized and adjusted, Gus has a great temperament. I had visited many breeders over the last year, and would only consider recommending S & P for anyone looking for a lab puppy.

Bob & Sherri Spadano said on May 24, 2016 8:17 AM

It has been almost three weeks since we welcomed Maggie into our home and we could not be happier. Maggie is adjusting well, is healthy and is well on her way with training. Sue and Paul have been fantastic since we first contacted them, keeping us updated throughout the process and answering any questions we had before the litter was even born. Once we chose our pup they were extremely accommodating with visits and when the big day finally arrived to bring Maggie home we felt like she had already been part of our family for months. What has been most impressive is how it still feels like Sue and Paul are there for us in the three weeks since we brought Maggie home. From questions about crating or sleeping through the night to what type of food is best, they have been so helpful. We would, and already have, strongly recommend S&P to other families looking for a puppy. They are the best!

We brought our Rory home on May 5th. At 10 weeks old she comes when called and she is used to her crate. Throughout the puppy selection process Sue and Paul were fantastic.They were prompt at answering any questions. Being that they were 2 hours away they were fantastic with accommodating our needs in order to pick out and pick up Rory. She has been a great addition to our family and is very playful. Our 19 month old daughter and her have been bonding well. Thank you to Sue and Paul for helping us add such a great addition to our family.

We brought our Eli home on Sunday and he has lived up to all our expectations and beyond. We found S&P Labs on the website breeders.net when we were looking to replace our beloved yellow lab who had passed away a few months earlier. Sue and Paul were gracious enough to meet with us in January so we could meet Bailey and Fenway and have an opportunity to see their litter of pups from December 2014. We knew as soon as we met with Sue and Paul that they were the breeders that we wanted to provide us with our next lab. We love labs for the breed and their temperament and after having Sue and Paul explain how they handle their dogs and puppies we knew we had to have one of their pups. Sue handles all the communications in the operation and we were kept informed by email as soon as Baily's pregnancy was confirmed, and then almost daily emails with pictures once Bailey had her litter in April. They understood how excited we were to know all about our Eli. We were able to meet with Eli at 6 weeks and another 2 times prior to bringing him home. Sue and Paul have a wealth of knowledge about training and caring for dogs and puppies and much helpful information is provided during visits, on bringing him home and beyond. Eli knew his name, how to sit, paw, and was well on his way to being crate trained and other commands. Sue and Paul went above and beyond, when due to out of town commitments we couldn't bring Eli home for an extra week. Eli is an awesome pup, he is calm, socialized, smart and a joy to have in our household. We could go on, but will end with a final comment - it is well worth the wait to get a puppy through S&P - you will never find a breeder who cares more about their dogs and provides a puppy that will be your forever companion and family pet!!

We've only had Raven for a week now and already can't imagine life without her. My kids already call her their sister. She already knew her name, how to sit and give her paw when we got her. We are so happy we got her from Sue & Paul and can't imagine ever going through another breeder. These puppies are given the most love and care in their home. Sue has always gotten right back to me when I ask her my many questions as I'm a first time dog owner. I was provided with the information I needed. Also, Raven didn't have any worms when she had her first vet visit 4 days after we brought her home. Thank you so much, Sue & Paul-you're the best!

We found S&P Labradors on breeders.net and sent them an email. From that day forward we were confident that they were the breeders for us. Sue and Paul kept us well informed during the labor and delivery of our puppy Tootsie. Pictures were posted on their website immediately and updated regularly. What stood out the most was that their care of the puppies always came first. I was so anxious and wanted to meet her right away but keeping them with their mom and siblings is so important to their growth and development that Sue and Paul wait until they are 5 weeks old. Once we met her and saw the care and love that these puppies receive, we knew they were excellent breeders. Sue asked us to tell her our puppies name right away and Tootsie came home knowing her name and how to sit. We have had Tootsie for 2 weeks now and can't remember not having her. I highly recommend S&P Labradors because I feel that their dogs and puppies are their family not a business.

We have had a wonderful experience with Sue and Paul. They are fabulous breeders and you can instantly tell how much they love and care for their dogs and the puppies. I am so glad we got to know them throughout Bailey's pregnancy and for the first 8 weeks of Porter's life. They answered all our questions and concerns and kept us up to date with how the puppies were progessing once they were born. We have had Porter home for a little over a month now and he is doing great. We couldn't be happier with him in our lives and we will continue to be in touch with Sue and Paul throughout his life. We highly reccommend working with Sue and Paul. They are a great family and their dogs are amazing too!!

Chris and Ethel Condon said on Feb 17, 2014 5:37 PM

We brought Bailey home 3 days ago and we couldn't be happier. Sue and Paul were professional breeders who answered all our questions, even after we took her home! Bailey is smart and knew how to sit, come, lay down and offer her paw when asked when she came home. She is a true joy to have and we would highly recommend Sue and Paul and their labs!

We brought Boomer home on Valentine’s Day just 9 months after the passing of our beloved 12 year old lab Champ. We happened to find S&P Labradors online and I am so happy that we did. Paul and Sue are wonderful people who have the love and the care of the puppies as their primary concern. I was so impressed with the family atmosphere in which the puppies are raised but even more by their professionalism, knowledge, and their love for these beautiful dogs. They made us feel like part of their lab family. Boomer was lucky to have them as breeders and we are so happy with our new family member. I can’t say enough about S&P Labradors and I strongly recommend that you visit them when their next litter arrives.

Matt and Jade said on Feb 16, 2014 2:25 PM

After seeing our puppy Rambo we knew we had to have him in our family. He has been with us only a few days and we couldn't be happier. Sue and Paul have been so great. Rambo knew his name and to sit and give his paw the day we picked him up. They also go above and beyond in the care of all their puppies our vet will surely be impressed. We cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Sue and Paul for our little Rambo!

Julia Sylvia said on Feb 15, 2014 7:28 PM

I've only had Colby for a couple of days and I couldn't love him more. He's a happy, healthy well behaved black lab. Sue and Paul have been a wealth of knowledge and information regarding labradors. Colby went to the vet and they were very impressed with the amount of de-worming he received as most breeders do not do such a thorough job. I was surprised on the day I came to pick him up that Sue and Paul taught him his name, how to sit and give his paw. I would HIGHLY reccommend s&p labradors to anyone interested in a new furry family member!

Cindy McCarron said on Feb 14, 2014 1:27 PM

I saw my puppy just by chance and contacted Sue and Paul immediately. I fell in love when I met him . Sue and Paul have fabulous, smart and well behaved dogs. They were great to work with even starting crate training and obedience before we brought our puppy home. Chance is a happy, healthy, energetic and most loveable 1 year old. I would highly recommend Sue and Paul and their puppies.
