Breeding the Highest Quality English Labradors in America.

Welcome to Smoky Mtn Labradors.

One of the top English Labrador Breeders in the USA.

We are a family-run kennel based in the foothills of The Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. With nearly four decades of experience in breeding dogs, we work hard to ensure that you receive the highest possible quality English Labrador. We are always keenly aware that the bloodlines of these dogs are credited to those who have intentionally bred and maintained the integrity of the full English Labrador. To those who have strived for this before us, we say thank you! We hope you enjoy our site, and thanks for stopping by as my family and I continue to strive to breed the highest quality of English Labrador for you.

Our 3 Divisions

1. Show Division

Throughout the history of Smoky Mountain Labradors, we’ve been honored to experience great success in the show ring. With AKC Champions like Smoky Mtn Moose and Camo paving the way, we’re continuing to grow and build on that foundation with each new generation. Our program is built on a deep understanding of what it takes to produce a true standout—what we proudly call “the gentleman’s dog.” From structure and movement to presence and poise, our Labradors are bred and trained to excel at the highest level.

2. Behavior Division

This division is dedicated to refining the training and temperament of our Labradors. Here, each dog is taught foundational obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, come, and heel—all essential for a well-mannered companion. Beyond commands, we emphasize proper behavior in both public settings and the home, helping our dogs become confident, respectful, and reliable partners in any environment.

3. Gun Dog Division

Our newest division focuses on training Labrador Retrievers as skilled gun dogs. These dogs learn to respond to commands with precision and retrieve game both on land and in water. Though still growing, this program is already showing strong success in developing dependable, driven working dogs.

We use names you know and companies you can trust!
