  I picked up my chocolate lab from **** 2 weeks ago. Pretzel is a great addition to the family, including 3 other dogs I have from Loves Labradors. She is very smart and easy to train. I have recommended her to others looking for a great lab to join their family. My dogs play Flyball (canine racing sport) and a team member also has 2 of her dogs. I would not go anywhere else for a lab, nor recommend anyone else. When I picked up *******, it was nice to see the other dogs and get to join in on their fun. She is the best.

  ******* is a living doll with a LOAD of talent. She will be the star of your Flyball team. Glad the last girl out of the last Diamond and Hitch litter went home with you. You are one of my great homes I demand my kids to go to. Thank you for loving her, caring for her and letting me visit with her from time to time like the other girls. Hope you make it to NE Oregon next month for the visit with all of our kids.

  **** did a wonderful job of making sure my new lab was a good fit for me and my ***********. She has integrity and a tremendous love and commitment to her dogs. I am so thrilled with my beautiful, athletic and loving lab??????She is everything I was looking for.

  Liberty is a special girl. I miss her. She is having so much fun with you and better for her to have more one on one attention. Thank you for your kind words.

  We got our dog Harlow from **** almost 3 years ago. I thought my husband was nuts for wanting to bring a puppy into our home with a baby and a toddler, right when the pandemic was ramping up. He assured me that he did his research and that **** would provide ** with a living, easily trainable friend for our boys.Fast forward to now and I must admit that he was 100% right. We cannot imagine life without our Harlow. I have owned, trained, and met many dogs in my life but I have never met a dog of such quality as Harlow. He is smart, loyal, and the best friend to our boys. He can easily switch from high energy play mode to calm gentleman mode when we need him to. I can trust him to act right in a number of situations, and I ALWAYS get compliments on his beauty and/or behavior when we are out in public.If you want a high quality dog for whatever purpose, look no further. **** is a responsible breeder who actually cares about where her dogs end up. This means not everyone will get one, and I'm sure this has ruffled some feathers, but I would much rather support someone who works towards protecting the amazing attributes that labs are known for. Thank you **** for trusting us with your kid, and we are beyond excited about the next one!

  I had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with ****'s Labrador's this past winter. Where she relocated from unforeseen situation in order to keep her dogs safe and healthy. Her dogs are well behaved, handled daily, exercised daily, healthy and beautiful animals. As dealing with numerous dog trainers in my line of work, by far Love's Labradors has nothing but the upmost care and love for her animals. If I was or am in need of a Labrador I would most certainly contact Love's Labradors for a cute, healthy, smart puppy.****************

  Buyer beware of this breeder! Her dogs live in an unhealthy environment. As of 2/2023, her entire business was located within a truck with metal kennels (like a dog catchers truck) and a trailer. She has moved from ******, OR to *********, ** to ********** all within 8 months. In my opinion, you should find another breeder who has a stable business.

  Appalling this review coming from a family that last week I reported to your local police **** and filed an ANIMAL ABUSE report and a ******** is performing an investigation regarding this matter. The other review from the son-in-law that the Father of the household where the dog was beaten, severly traumatized and you had him on Trazadone that causes a dog to hallucinate was copied on all communications, his initials are CR and I will respond to his review as well. The good news is the Lab black male is back with me. Your household with husband and son adopted this wonderful sweet and kind boy Feb 2023. I have a witness to his naturally kind nature by a person that works for the State that saw him most days as she frequented the land I was on and she was most fond of him. He left me in best health. He returned to me 3 months later 10 lbs under weight, NO muscles developed on his body whatsoever and whacked out on hallunicating drugs. I have videos and photos of him before, during and recent. You have a lot of gall going on here but I knew you were going to based on emails from both your husband and son that they were going to damage my reputation. ****** Law will only arrest you for visible bodily harm, but this dog is whacked out now...yes, by your household and to recover from this might never happen. Humans that beat on a dog to submission so when given a command as simple as 'sit' they cower and start shaking. What did you do to this poor boy? Your son and him seemed fine at the introduction in CA but after 2 weeks I received an email from your husband (never heard once from the son that the dog was adopted by until after the Lab was back at home w me....hmmm, something is up with that?) Your husband quotes that the dog is traumatized. He didn't leave me under that condition at all. He needed acclimation to suburbia sounds but traumatizing is different and that is something your household did. It's called Animal Abuse and you are guilty of it. If anyone would like to check if the investigation is real, send a request to my biz  email and I will forward the Seargent's name and direct ph # to you. I said to you to get the dog onto my dog transport I have arranged, I will pay for it and return the money to you and I knew I wanted the dog away from that environment asap. But your family refused. I tried for 2 months to get the dog returned to me, I was refused. Then after I left ** and moved my dogs and myself to our new Summer facilities in Eastern ******* on 10 acres, you sent the dog to me. He arrived eyes bugged out from the drugs, the driver had texted to me in route that the dog acted like he was going to bite him and when he arrived he acted like he was going to bolt and bite me. Not the same dog that left me Feb 10 and very sad to an innocent kind creature you felt it was perfectly fine to damage a kind soul. And on top of it send a review to BBB.?????????? Thank God the Lab is back with me. Now, to address your comments in the review. Unhealthy? Hmmmm did you have an expert there addressing this supposed living conditions while in CA? No. I was on ********* of Wildlife Land when you were there Feb 10th. Beautiful green grass fields. I was also out on a few thousands of grass fields at another location and 20 acres of ponds at another location most of the time I was there during the winter. I had Game Wardens, Sheriffs and ************* there on a daily basis. They saw inside of the trailer, saw the truck and how clean it is and was and constantly made comments in what a great life my dogs lived getting out of the cold n snow and being in warmer weather and in warm waters that the Labradors should be in and on majority of the time. I see to it my dogs live that lifestyle. I will return there to these same locations this next winter and the next yr and so on so forth. So, unhealthy is a defamatory comment and you are liable. I take great pride in seeing to it my kids/Labradors live the life a Labrador is bred to and should be living. For those reading this, I have a You Tube channel,  there is a video called Love's Labradors young pups having fun in sun and water shows how I have large fenced in areas in the rural area. I have large water stock tanks for them to swim in and have fun. I have set up the same environment for my kids at the Summer facilities in Eastern *******. Your comment on stability. I moved to ******* to continue on with my stable business and be careful in how you try and paint a different picture here. You are deplorable people and I will be working with the Seargant with his investigation and with my attorney that is an Animal Law Expert. My adoption agreements include a paragraph that states I as the breeder have full rights to follow up and check on best welfare for any of my Labradors throughout the lifetime of the Labrador. You at that house have 2 other dogs you adopted from me, I am worried about them. I reviewed their photos of them in the last yr I received from your husband and they are lacking muscle mass or tone as well and looks like you reduced the size of your yard to half the size. If I knew this, you last year would not of passed my Pre Qual on size of yard to add on with another Labrador, a 7 month old to have then 3 large dogs there. Too small of a yard and based on lack of muscle tone and the emails communication of what your dogs do during the day, the dogs go from house to backyard only. How sad no time to rivers, Lakes and large grassy fields. How sad you have them living your life and not once are you considering their lives and how athletic they are. I know you have another property in the mtns but you are not there often enough for proper exercise for a Labrador. Finally, I will add that the dog box trucks are very efficient with full insulation. I added the first week I bought the truck, 6 fans, swamp cooler and a misting system. My kids/Labradors sleep on there when traveling but during the day they are out in groups having fun running and playing. They live life large! You are deplorable people and in my opinion should never have a dog based on the condition I received this dog in. Shame on you. *** beat this dog. God will take care of you......and you will deserve it.

  There is now a case # filed. As of next Wed, in that county newspaper will show their names and address for this case. I am also alerting the local community to the neighbors around them they have a dog abuser in their area as the admins with the local community groups on social media are allowing this to be broadcasted. People should never get away for abusing an innocent dog. Ever!

  The Police case was closed due to false & unsubstantiated allegations.

  The police went to their home to file a case#. They could not physically view the dog in question for themselves. There were no broken bones or blood but the mind was damaged. The police knew this all along but they followed up on it just in case this continued. Well, it is continuing as here is what the neighbors on their block are saying: 

  I personally think ******* and **** might hit, just havent seen it.
  

  Do they take their dogs for walks? Never.   
  
  . I will say that they are not model dog owners in my opinion. They seem to basically want a fully trained toy with a heart beat that doesnt do anything wrong with minimal effort from the owners at any time.

  When I reached out to their Community on ************ I was amazed in how many responded, over 30. Above is in quotes directly to me in messenger. The neighbors are now watching this family ready to film sounds and video and will forward to the police. It is common talk with their neighbors they are not good to their dogs and have heard a dog being beaten at their home. If there is more evidence, then the original case I started will be reopened and formal charges will be brought onto them. There are 2 more Labradors at their home I am very worried about. If one can traumatize and beat one dog, they will to another. I am watching this along with their neighbors and feel incredibly sorry for the 2 Labradors still at their home. There is a special place in H*** for people like this.

  This case is being re-opened, **** went thru Detection K9 training with me for search in-store and in field. While in store I found he had confidence with me and dealt with families, kids and his fear Men. He recently was adopted by Conservation Detection within a State to search boats. They knew ahead of time his story with what this family put him thru and how he returned to me. The testing w boat searches had men.....and he had too much fear with the men. He doesn't have the same fears with me but I saved him from the evil from this family's home and he has confidence with me. He is returning to me and will remain with me til he dies. I have no other choice. It is deplorable what this family did to him. He was a sound boy when he left me in Feb 2023 and showed no fears to men until he was with this family. I am now back again in contact with the local Police as they have 2 different Detection K9 groups to contact to review ****. This should and will reopen the case in hopes to help save the 10 and 3 yr old Labs still at the home of this family. I also have neighbors as witnesses that have heard dogs at their home being beaten.

  Do you want to deal with a terrible person when buying a dog? Go with Jana L***! I don't leave very many reviews, but she took down her Google Reviews some how. Jana L*** treats her dogs and clients poorly. She keeps her dogs in the smallest metal kennel that sits on top of her truck. She will doubt everything about you as a human in order to get one of her dogs. Oh and then she will take your money from you. Additionally, her dogs will and do have some kind of issues. The dog we received from her has had mouth/teeth and major hip issues. I would NEVER get a dog from her again or even refer my worst enemy to get a dog from her!

  You are apart of the same family that I have an investigation going on for ANIMAL ABUSE with a Seargant with *********** that looks into Animal Abusers. A formal report was filed. The readers can refer to the review by LB as I go into detail in how this family beat a dog, came back to me 10 l;bs under weight, severely traumatized and in my professional opinion was severely abused physically and had the dog on hallucinating drugs. This is the reason why this reviewer after having a pup from me for almost 8 yrs now is all of a sudden coming up with health issues with their Labrador. I knew about the teeth and I felt bad about that but NOT ONCE did I hear directly from you or your wife many years back about this but instead heard about it from your Father -in-law. Yes, the same guy that wrote to me just a week ago he was going to damage my reputation and copied his communications out to the entire family including you. You are now included into this scene. The comment on major hip issues, now is where you get defamatory. You have 24 hours to send me via email copies of the xrays from a radiologist. The dog is now 8 yrs of age. To further explain and educate,  Labradors joints do not fully grow until age 2. I like most breeders guarantee up to the age 2. One can see as early as 4 months of age if a dog has been born with Osteoarthritis. It can show up as late as the final stages of the bones growth transpires from 18 months to 2 yrs of age. I never received any notice or xrays from you regarding this by age 2. Now if it has happened since, then it is ownership on YOU and how you have cared for this dog. Perhaps you are like the rest of the family members that are under investigation and find that there is lack of proper care and exercise for a Labrador? If it is muscle and you said hips....you didn't mention ACL, which Labs are prone to you and plenty of info on the net this being a predisposed condition with Labs but if it is truly hips....if the dog is living the similar lifestyle like the other part of your family w little exercise? The tendons, cartilage and muscles protect the bones and if they are not developed then how are they to protect the bones. Many like to point the finger back to the breeder for everything. I test and do health clearances more than most breeders and guarantee more than most but I lack the control in how a dog is cared for and treated under your care. Picked up and carried in and out of a vehicle or a ramp for use, diet, not running in snow deeper than a foot or they can pull a muscle, running in mud can cause a pulled muscle or tendon as well. So, if this is true on major hip issues (?) as I am not known for my dogs having hip issues, then you must provide this xray and documents to me asap, you have 24 hours to send this to me. I have an Animal Expert Attorney ready to file against you for defamation. For the readers here, I will come back in 2 days and share the outcome of this. This rant is by a family member that is a part of a Animal Abuse investigation. It's unfortunate that all the email communications by his Father-in-law copied the entire family including this reviewer and roped him into this ugly mess. As well, you now have a thread with your name associated with Animal Abuse that any creditor and future or current employer will and might see and might affect your future for you and your family. You stepped up to the plate and went on the attack, now you get to wear the button.

  The case on **** is being reopened. ****'s case is what prompted this negative review from this Reviewer as he is a family member of whom is being investigated for animal abuse once again. Oh and BTW, I still have not received proof with their claims their dog has hip issues!! There is a looming defamation case against this Reviewer and other family members. Here is ****'s update, ,.....**** went thru Detection K9 training with me for search in-store and in field. While in store I found he had confidence with me and dealt with families, kids and his fear Men. He recently was adopted by Conservation Detection within a State to search boats. They knew ahead of time his story with what this family put him thru and how he returned to me. The testing w boat searches had men.....and he had too much fear with the men.
