Welcome to Yoder LabradorsWe, the Yoder's are a family of five who consider our dogs family members. We love our dogs and are dedicated to the breed standard of the English Labrador Retriever. We specialize our small breeding program by our extensive socialization program with the puppies, training of our adult dogs and our unique natural feeding and raising of all of our dogs. We only have a couple of litter each year so when you see them listed here don't hesitate get on our waiting list. Our extensive socialization program consists of raising puppies that are bonded to humans from the first moments of life, no cages, house raised, held like newborn babies constantly. We have a great reputation for calm, intelligent and loving dogs that are perfect for everyone, from a hunting dog to a service dog for an autistic child, to bomb sniffing dogs. We introduce our dogs from the time they can roam outside to all numbers of things from the swimming pool to potty training, crate training etc... Our puppies are introduced to all the strange and common noises around a family from the vacuum to the coffee grinder, my son's drumming and loud rock'n roll music to my husbands chain saw etc... We believe a well socialized puppy makes the best adult companion. We can refer you to puppy classes, but making your lab a member of your family including him in your daily routine is what will make the best friend you are looking for, consistency is the key, all labs want is to do what you want them to and spend time with you. Thank you, Cheryl Yoder Yoderlabradors.com
