Thank you for everything you have done for us!
Raven is settling in so nicely and already blowing us away with her smarts! She was a rockstar throughout night #1 in her crate, to the point where we turned on the lamp a few times to peek in on her and make sure she was okay for how quiet she stayed. It is very evident that you go the extra mile to prepare your pups for their transition home, and we can't thank you enough for that! We are already head over heels for this girl's sweet temperament, loud snores, and wrinkly chunk!
I’ve attached a few pictures and videos that we took after yesterday's pick up and once we arrived home. Enjoy!
Thank you again. We look forward to sending more updates with time!

Randy & Rosie and Larissa,
Hello there! I wanted to share with you an update on your precious boy that went by Percy (#5) and now is called Georgie!
He is 9 weeks and 2 days old today, look how much he’s grown!!! He’s an AMAZING dog, so smart & learning commands & potty training very well (the clicker tip has been great!) and learning to walk on leash & harness. He has a pet sitter when I work & gets to learn & play with her 10 month old son; we walk the trails on the property & he does well in the crate (at bed time only). You bred and started a wonderful dog; I love him so much, his adventurous spirit, playfulness, loyalty & cuddles. We’ve bonded quite well in just over a week! He sees a vet on Tuesday so I can get vaccines from work to keep him on schedule & we can’t wait to go out on adventures in due time!
Thank you for granting me a wonderful best friend 
With Happiness,
Lisa & Georgie

Hello FFL!
Two full weeks with our sweet puppy! We named her Oak (aka...Oakey) and we are all in LOVE. 
Oak has been doing wonderfully with crate training and house training, learning commands, and the start to clicker training. We are beginning to fall into a daily routine and she has been a good sport going with the flow of a busy kid-schedule (she gets a lot of extra love at school drop-off/pick-up and on the soccer field).
Thank you for our wonderful girl. 
She is just the BEST addition to our family. 
We will be in touch soon as she continues to grow and learn.

Hi Rosie,
Linc has been a wonderful puppy. He’s full of love, affection, and joy. He loves attention and makes everyone feel special. He goes with us everywhere including boat rides watching the Blue Angels perform over the river. He’s smart, with a confident disposition. He is growing quickly, clocking in at 20lbs at his appointment Thursday. The staff commented that he is the calmest puppy they’ve seen.
We are so happy to have him as member of our family.

Hi Rosie,
Cody got his new Open title CDX this morning wit 1st, 3rd and 2nd places. Moving on to Utility and Rally Masters.
I’m sending you 4 pictures taken this morning (not very good with my old camera) before I got to hang his new ribbons. Not bad for a young dog.
Regards, Maris

Hi Rosie,
Our puppy is now approaching 6 months old and I want to share how things are going.
First, she is a beautiful puppy! Her confirmation is sound, her fur is soft, and she has the traditional English lab markings on the tips of her ears, tail, hocks & elbows. Her eyes are bright and clear, her teeth have all come in and they are great. Her mouth is soft. She loves to retrieve, really wants to chase water fowl (lol) and is cuddly, sweet and gregarious.... a perfect family companion. She has meshed in to our lifestyle really well. She and our cat are pals, she has learned that we are not early morning risers, so she ‘chills’ until we are ready to start our day, and she is really good with other dogs.
Even more so, she has been an absolute joy in our home. She is so intelligent! She learns very quickly, she listens really well and she is so obedient! I have never had a dog that has been so intelligent and sweet, and really responsive to training. These characteristics are definitely inherited from her lineage; I have had other pure bred labs and they were not as docile and responsive to training as our Family Loved Lab. She knows “sit”, “stay”, “come”, “fetch”, “ok”, and she is leash trained. Potty training was a breeze with her. We initially crate trained her, but we prefer a dog bed instead of a crate, and she is great on that.
Initially I was very reluctant to buy a puppy I had never seen before, from a breeder I didn’t personally know or visit. However, when I saw the blood line I knew the stock was good. When I spoke to you I immediately had confidence you were the “real deal”. From start to finish the communication was great, and the follow up and follow through was 100% perfect. Its very apparent to me the hard work, care and training you put in to your breeding dogs results in the quality puppy we received.
We couldn’t be happier with our sweet girl, and with the experience we have had with you. I have recommended you to many people in my area - we hope to see more Family Loved Labs in Palm Beach Co. FL!!!!
Warm regards,
Anne

Dear FamilyLoved Labs:
Three years ago today, one of your yellow labs, then named Kenny and from a litter by Keira and Polar, arrived in our lives. This occurred with some reluctance and uncertainty on my part, having just put down 2 of our beloved labs within the prior year and a half. Our life was oddly empty without those pups, and I was unsure that another pup could ever fill the void. With encouragement of friends Jim and Norma Vermillion who had recently gotten one of your chocolates, somewhat ambivalently I called Rosie and after a brief conversation (where I embarrassed myself by choking up during the call) very impulsively said yes - - and the next day Kenny (now Bogey) arrived.
Bogey has been and continues to be the dog of my dreams. Having had dogs all my life (now aged 63), he has so surpassed any thoughts I've ever entertained of being "the perfect family pup". My wife Alicia, our grown son Chris, and all the other family members and friends who've been with Bogey all agree he is an extraordinary pup. Smart, intuitive, strong, gentle, fun, situationally aware and appropriate behaviorally, beautiful, vigilant, constant companion, etc.
Words can't adequately convey the depth of our gratitude to you folks, for having bred such an incredible dog. As a family, we are so smitten with Bogey for he has brought so much joy and love into our lives. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to experience such a totally wonderful pup. FamilyLovedLabs is such a PERFECT name - thank you!
Here are 2 images of Bogey: Day 1 of his arrival here 3 years ago today and this morning.
Warm Regards,
David & Alicia
Thanks for such a fantastic Lab!!!!
I know u must always hear this, but his temperament is off the chart sweet and playful both people and dogs! And people always comment he has a puppy face and when I ask what they mean, they are always referring to the wrinkles he kept on his face and forehead. I also love the big blocky head! Thanks again! Joe

Hey Rosie,
These are our girls and we couldn't be happier. For 9 years we owned a dog resort in Hugo and a few customers came in with beautiful labs we couldn't resist. After asking we were told about Family Loved Labs in Sandstone and kept it in the back of our minds for when we were ready to add a pup to our family. A month after losing our GSP we just couldn't wait any longer. Our hearts were broken and we needed another pup to love. We contacted Rosie which lead to us getting our black lab girl named Fish. We had always wanted litter mates but never made the leap to do it at the time because we had an old man at home. After having Fish for a week she was so well behaved and beautiful that we decided to get her litter mate, Loon. That's our chocolate beauty. We have had them for a few weeks now and we couldn't be happier. They love each other greatly and are two peas in a pod. The girls are so different but so wonderful in their own ways. We love them so much and would definitely recommend Family Loved Labs to anyone looking for a beautiful well behaved lab. These girls are everything we have ever wanted and we can't thank Rosie and Randy enough for these beauties. Thank you so much, we are in love.

My name is Michael from Bigfork Montana. I've been wanting to get a Lab dog but just can't decide where and know any good breeder. I've been searching all over and have no luck. It took me a while to find a trustworthy breeder that's knows what they are doing and also of what I'm looking for. Everytime I find a lab dog I show it to my family and friends. One of the breeder I found, my daughter found 4 bad reviews online. So we all thought it's not a good idea. Until we found Familylovedlabs, they caught our attention by their knowledge of their dogs and of what we are looking for. They are very nice to deal with in the phone and helpful of anything that we need to know. They have a few puppies when we first corresponds with them and one of them is "Lady" caught our eye. So we started asking more information and pictures of Lady and it was so nice of them to offer us a very recent video of Lady. That's all it took, we fell in love with her. Five days later we picked her up in the airport in Kalispell Montana. She is perfect and it's just what we are looking for for. We highly recommend this breeder. We can tell they are a good breeder through Lady. Shes a healthy, smart and happy dog. We are so happy with our dog and if any one wants to speak with us feel free to contact us.

Hi Randy, Rosie, Larissa, and Trevor~
After seeing the updated Facebook photos of your handsome boys in the sun, thought I’d send you an update on little miss Finnegan. She’s the Noble x Latte girl we picked up this Jan.
Finney is now 15 weeks old and an absolute delight! She started puppy kindergarten already and is sailing through class with ease!
Such a smart girl…doesn’t take her long to pick up exactly what you are asking, especially when there are treats involved;) Her temperament continues to be exactly what we
had always hoped for:) Not to mention, she is STUNNING! We get SO many complements from everyone who meets her, including her vet, our trainer friends, and even strangers!
Here is an updated shot at 15 weeks. I think she’s starting to look like her mama. Hope you enjoy the update and they make you smile! Thank you so
much for breeding such HIGH quality, outstanding labradors! We are so lucky to have her and can’t wait to see her develop!
Thank again!
Parc, Linette, & big brother Jack
DUKE - Lil' Dove and Dickens English Lab Puppy - Hi Rosie. We couldn't be happier with our boy that is 15 weeks old. He instantly became a member of our family and our 2 little girls best friend. He thinks he is another child as he chooses to jump in the car seat when he gets in the car! Although he won't be able to fit in it much longer. We are thankful for our big beautiful manly dog which is exactly what we wanted! He's definitely a family loved lab!
I spoke with the fireman who got us out using the jaws of life and I was told he was licking me before I was life flighted
I got Fletcher, my very handsome black lab, from Family Loved Labs. He's my first very own dog. I got him when I was living in Virginia in August '12. I saw a picture of Fletcher's parents when I was online searching through breeders and read about Family Loved Labs and became very interested! When I investigated more each time about breeding, I became more and more interested in Family Loved Labs.
But Family Loved Labs is in Minnesota, you say! I had plentyyyyyy of questions for Randy and Rosie since I had not met them in person, seen their home, nor met my pup yet! I was also very worried about flying him to me in the heat of summer, but I made sure the airline had air condition and it made me comforted to know he would not be drugged for the flight. Rosie and Randy were very patient with me and great at answering all of my many questions re: his flight, health, personality, temperament, etc. They would also send me videos and pictures of him, even certain ones upon my request!
I fell in love with Fletcher immediately when he cuddled up to me after I took him out of the crate he flew in. We played in a park for a bit, I gave him water, and of course, his new toys. I could tell right away he had a great temperament! Playful, yet calm.
From the first week I had him, we went on a lot of hikes together. He was my teammate from day 1! We have grown to be closer teammates than I ever imagined possible.
Two and a half years ago, we were driving back to VA after spending Christmas in Ohio. On the way back, we were in a very severe car accident. I suffered multiple injuries and was told later on by my parents that I was only given a 2% chance of living upon arrival to their ER (after being life flighted).
Miraculously, Fletcher had NO injuries from the accident!!! Thank God for that!!! Everyday, I literally thank God for not only my life, but his too.He has been my saving grace through my recovery. I call him my angel because of that.
In the past couple years, I had to learn how to walk all over again after getting out of a wheelchair and going to a walk, two canes down to one, then finally nothing! When I was able to finally walk without any aides, I had Fletcher trained to walk on leash with me for very short distances. He seemed to be sensitive of my needs. If I tripped, he would look up to me, as if he was making sure I was okay. On these rare walks, I would continue using the training I learned on how to walk him and just in the past 6 months or so have trained him to walk off leash! He's so smart!!! Now, I'm able to walk him more frequently and am privileged to do so!
In fact, since I'm not able to give him vigorous exercise, I pay his trainer to take him running 2 times a week. Last week, he even took him for free to run a 5K!! He said Fletcher is his favorite, which comes as no surprise to me, but does make me even more proud of him!
He's not only incredibly well trained and has a great overall temperament, but he's also the sweetest and gentlest dog I've ever met. He's very cuddly! He thinks he's the size of a little chihuahua or any other lap dog. He's great with my nieces, ranging from ages 2-9 and they love him dearly! He's sweet with everyone, including other dogs. With all dogs, he is very submissive. No mean bone in his body!
I cannot say enough good things about Fletcher or Family Loved Labs!!! They gave me the best dog I've ever known. I can't stand to think of the day that I won't have my angel by my side anymore, but when that day comes, I hope Randy and Rosie are still breeding these beautiful babies because I'm a customer for life! - Sarah
Hi Rosie-
By the way (Ben) is now 1.5 years old, and the best dog ever! Many others besides me, comment on how beautiful of a lab he is, especially his blocky head. Ben has many characteristics of Polar, and everyone is always mentioning to me, or stopping us on our walks to say how beautiful the dog is and that they've never seen such a blocky head. I always mention your name and website, and that his head is the true characteristic of an English Lab. Thanks again for such an impressive dog!
Attached are a few photos of Ben from late this summer/fall if you're interested in seeing. Enjoy!

Larissa,
Here are a few pictures of little Cayenne. She is not so little any more. Troy was here for Thanksgiving and we enjoyed having Cayenne around. She is a beautiful dog inside and out. Her temperament is gentle and sweet. She means very thing to are family. Troy had to put down his male lab the day before Thanksgiving. He was 15 years old. He lived a long great life. Cayenne has top ranking now and the joy of her master.
Thanks for giving us the honor of having Cayenne in our lives. Gold bless you and your family this holiday season.
