At Smoky Mountain Gundog Kennels, we specialize in raising exceptional English Labrador puppies that are ideal for both hunting and family companionship. Our focus is on producing top-tier Labrador puppies that embody the best traits of the breed—intelligence, loyalty, athleticism, and a calm, trainable temperament. Whether you are an avid hunter seeking a reliable gundog or a family looking for a gentle, well-mannered companion, our English Labradors are bred to exceed expectations.

The Difference in English Labradors

English Labrador puppies differ from their American counterparts in several key ways. While both types fall under the same breed standard, English Labradors typically have a stockier build, blockier head, and calmer demeanor. These qualities make them especially suitable as gundogs and family pets. At Smoky Mountain Gundog Kennels, we intentionally breed for these traits, ensuring that our puppies grow into well-rounded adult dogs with a balanced temperament and strong physical capabilities.

Our English Labradors are ideal for those who want a versatile dog that can transition smoothly from the field to the family room. Their intelligence and eagerness to please make them quick learners, and their calm nature means they are easy to manage both at home and in the field. From early on, we expose our puppies to various environments and sounds, helping them develop confidence and adaptability—two key qualities in a successful hunting Labrador dog.

Raising Exceptional Gundogs

Hunting Labrador dogs require more than just good instincts—they need rigorous early training, the right temperament, and a strong bond with their handler. At Smoky Mountain Gundog Kennels, our program emphasizes all of these areas. We begin the foundational training process as early as possible, working with each puppy to build trust, responsiveness, and a passion for the field. Our goal is to produce gundogs that are not only effective in hunting situations but also loyal and trustworthy companions.

We select our breeding stock carefully, choosing only the best English Labradors with proven hunting lineage, health clearances, and outstanding personalities. This attention to detail ensures that each litter of Labrador puppies meets our high standards and is ready for both hunting work and home life.
