About Us

Our family has proudly served, and continues to serve in the military for four generations, dating back as far as World War II. We began raising and hunting Blue Tick Hounds and Pointers back in the 1950’s. After many years an interest in the Labrador Retrievers took hold and we began breeding Labrador Retrievers. Our family has been breeding Labrador Retrievers for over 20 years, beginning in 2000.

Labrador Retrievers are very intelligent and are easy to train. The Labrador Retriever has been ranked the number one dog in the country for hunting. It is also one of the best companion dogs and family dogs you can have. They are very friendly dogs and good with kids of all ages. They have used and continue to be used for a variety of tasks such as service dogs, as well as drug dogs for law enforcement agencies.

Woods Ferry Labrador has many years experience with Labrador Retrievers. We have been very satisfied with this unique breed as the ideal family dog for generations & adaptable to practically any lifestyle.

We are a family owned and operated kennel in Chester, South Carolina. Our main goal is to produce a well sound pure blood line dog that excels in the field as well as in the home and shows. Our program focuses strongly on obedience and gun dog work. We are dedicated to preserving the integrity, intelligence and beauty of the Labrador Retriever. We have found that it takes a greta deal of commitment, knowledge and education to feel comfortable producing quality, genetically sound Labrador Retrievers. We would not want to compromise our reputation by claiming to be experts of multiple breeds. In our opinion most multi-breed kennels are more likely to be puppy mills just trying to cater to the latest fad. We want all of our puppies to have Happy, Healthy, Loving homes.

JUST ONE OF OUR TRAINING AREAS

Our kennel is located on 30 acres within one and half miles from the “Sumter National Forest” where we do the most of our training. In addition to this, we train on Monticello Lake and Broad River which is located only 3 miles from our facilities with several trails and dove fields We also have access to several local duck ponds, We alternate “training grounds” on a regular basis and train on all types of terrain and cover.

“Why settle for second best if you can have the best champion purebred for less?”

We only have AKC registered full blooded Labradors. We do not deal in any cross/mixed breeds such as the American Labrador or the Red Fox Labrador. Our Labradors are top quality, proven champion blood line and love to do what they were bred to do! Below are a few videos that show the quality and skill of our dogs in different settings.
