About Luvable AZ Labs, LLC
Our Story Luvable AZ Labs was born from a heartfelt passion for Labradors and a deep desire to share the joy they bring into our lives. As dedicated breeders, we specialize in raising healthy, happy Labs with exceptional temperaments. The health and well-being of our dogs is our top priority—every one of our parent dogs is thoroughly tested and cleared of genetic conditions. We're committed to bettering the breed with each generation, ensuring every puppy from our program is not only full of love but also free from hereditary disease.
How We Better the Labrador Breed
At Luvable AZ Labs, improving the Labrador breed isn’t just a goal—it’s our purpose. Every step we take is rooted in love, responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Here’s how we make a difference:
- Health First: All of our parent dogs undergo thorough genetic testing to ensure they are free of inheritable conditions. This helps us produce puppies with strong, healthy foundations.
- Exceptional Temperaments: We choose breeding pairs not just for physical traits, but for their gentle, intelligent, and loving personalities—traits that make Labradors the perfect family companion.
- Standards That Matter: We carefully match dogs to preserve and enhance the best qualities of the Labrador breed, following the AKC breed standard and working to reduce traits that can lead to long-term health or behavior issues.
- A Nurturing Start: Our puppies are raised in a warm, social environment and introduced early to new sounds, people, and experiences—giving them the confidence and resilience they’ll carry into their new homes.
- Lifelong Support: Our commitment doesn’t end when a puppy goes home. We’re always here for our families, offering guidance and support to ensure every pup thrives for life.
Our Promise to You At Luvable AZ Labs, we are guided by a deep love for Labradors and a steadfast commitment to ethical, responsible breeding. The health and happiness of our dogs come first—every puppy we raise is nurtured with care to grow into a joyful, well-adjusted companion. Whether you’re welcoming a new best friend into your family or seeking a loyal companion, your trust means the world to us. We’re dedicated to making your experience as joyful, seamless, and rewarding as the love these amazing dogs bring.
What sets us apart
Healthy puppies is a must! We believe in quality over quantity. Each puppy comes with 2 vet records, supporting a clean bill of health and will be released with limited registration rights. Full registration (breeding rights) may be released if approved. We understand how important it is when choosing the perfect addition to your family. That's why we invite you and your family to our home to meet our puppies. This helps you make the perfect connection and ensures that you find the right fit for your family. When it is time for you to take your puppy home, you will receive a "doggy bag" filled with goodies to get you started, in addition to all of your AKC paperwork, vet records, and the litter certificate.
Health Assurance You Can Trust! Curious about what your puppy won’t inherit? We’ve got you covered. Every parent in our breeding program undergoes extensive screening and has been cleared of over 350 genetic health conditions—including those most common to Labrador Retrievers. We’re committed to full transparency and proudly share these results with you. When you visit, you’ll have access to detailed health reports so you can feel confident about the lifelong well-being of your future companion.
PRCD - Progressive Rod - Cone Degeneration. It’s an inherited form of late - onset of progressive retinal atrophy (PRA)
EIC - Exercise Induced Collapse. Is characterized by muscle weakness, lack of coordination, and life-threatening collapse after intense exercise.
CNM - Centronuclear Myopathy is a muscle disorder that can be inherited if either parent is a carrier.
DM - Canine Degenerative Myelopathy, aka chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy, is an incurable, progressive disease of the canine spinal cord.
HPNK - Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis. It’s a genetic defect caused by a mutation in a gene that regulates differentiation of nose cells. Resulting in the formation of a crust with cracks over the nasal area of a young dog.
HUU - Hyperuricosuria means elevated levels of Uric acid in the urine. Causing dogs to form stones in their bladders or kidneys.
MCD - Macular Corneal Dystrophy. This condition causes abnormal corneal accumulation of complex carbohydrates called glycosaminoglycans. Which is a rare disease, both parents must be carriers to pass it to their puppies.
Narcolepsy - A disorder of the nervous system. Involving collapse and loss of movement.
PKD - Polycystic Kidney Disease. Is a hereditary kidney disease.
DD - Dilute (D Locus). A mutation in the gene is the cause of color dilution. A dog with a DD result will have all their black or brown pigment lightened (“diluted”) to gray or light brown and may lighten red pigment to cream.
ACVO - American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists
Our Facilities
Our Luvable AZ Labs home is designed to provide the best possible environment. We have a cozy setting for our Labs. When not inside taking naps or enjoying the AC to avoid the Arizona heat, they are outside running in the yard or swimming in the pool.
Our kennel offers both American and English Labrador Retriever puppies in Chocolate, Yellow, and Black.
Genetic Health & Disease Testing
Our Commitment to Exceptional Health Standards
At Luvable AZ Labs, we are dedicated to ensuring a thriving, healthy breeding program with a strong focus on genetic soundness. The well-being of our Labradors is our top priority, and we've invested in rigorous health protocols to support that mission.
Every parent dog in our program has undergone comprehensive DNA testing to meet the requirements of both the OFA Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) and the AKC BRED with H.E.A.R.T. program—two respected initiatives that recognize breeders committed to the highest standards of health as outlined by the Labrador Retriever Club.
Our Labradors are genetically cleared of over a dozen breed-relevant conditions, including PRCD, EIC, CNM, DM, HNPK, HUU, MCD, Narcolepsy, PKD, and DD. In addition, each dog has successfully completed a certified ACVO ophthalmologic examination.
We invite you to review the full health screening results during your visit, and to learn how these insights help guide responsible, science-based breeding practices. To dive deeper into how genetic testing shapes ethical breeding decisions, we also recommend this introductory video featuring Dr. Adam Boyko.
This video explains how genetic health results determine our decision to breed our Labs.
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
This technique is quite fascinating—by introducing puppies to gentle stressors, such as slight temperature changes or mild tactile stimulation, we can positively impact their neurological development, stress tolerance, and overall adaptability.
Research has shown that these brief, controlled experiences can lead to stronger immune systems, improved cardiovascular performance, and enhanced problem-solving skills as the puppies mature. It’s a wonderful approach to give our furry friends a head start in life!
The early days and weeks are crucial for a puppy's development, and ENS can have lasting benefits. Here’s a quick recap of the steps involved:
- Remove from Litter: Separate the puppy briefly from its litter.
- Cool Temperature Exposure: Expose the puppy to a cool environment for a short time.
- Different Positions: Hold the puppy in various positions.
- Gentle Touching: Touch different parts of the puppy's body gently.
- Tickling Toes: Lightly tickle in between the puppy's toes.
It's usually a once-a-day routine for just a few seconds, starting from birth and continuing until the puppy is around 7 weeks old and ready for their forever family!

Meet Toby: Our Chocolate Showstopper
Toby is our stud with energy for days, muscles for miles, and full‑on heart‑throb hunk vibes. At 5 years old and weighing in at a solid 85 pounds, he brings big personality, big presence, and big zoomies everywhere he goes.
When he’s not melting hearts with those soulful chocolate eyes, he’s busy burning off his endless energy with agility exercises — because being both handsome and athletic is just part of his brand. Toby moves like he knows he’s impressive… because he is.
But behind all that confidence and athleticism is a dog with a heart as big as his build. Toby is affectionate, people‑oriented, and happiest when he’s right beside his humans. He has a goofy, lovable charm that makes him impossible not to adore, and he passes that same sweetness and steady temperament on to his puppies.
Toby is the full package — strength, sweetness, stamina, intelligence, and undeniable heart‑throb appeal. He’s a foundational part of our program, producing puppies with his same gorgeous structure, expressive eyes, and warm, loyal personality.
We’re proud to have Toby as one of our studs and even prouder of the legacy he continues to build through every litter.

Meet Duke — One of Our Handsome Studs
Duke is the perfect blend of his parents, Rocky and Mia, carrying forward the traits we love most from both sides of his lineage. From his mom, he inherited that undeniable love for water — the kind that turns a simple hose sound into a full‑body wake‑up call. Even if he’s passed out on the couch, the moment he hears water running, he’s up, alert, and ready to dive into the fun.
While he’ll happily play fetch for a bit, he’s not the marathon retriever his mom is. Duke has his own agenda: enjoy a few rounds, charm you with those sweet eyes, and then head straight for the pool to lounge like the king he is. Water time is his love language.
What truly sets Duke apart, though, is his heart. He is extremely affectionate, gentle, and endlessly loving. He adores everyone he meets — people, kids, other dogs — and he carries himself with that soft, soulful sweetness that makes Labs so special. Whether he’s leaning in for cuddles or greeting a new friend with a wag that moves his whole body, Duke brings warmth everywhere he goes.
We’re proud to have him as part of our Luvable AZ Labs family and even more excited to watch him pass on his incredible temperament, charm, and water‑loving spirit to future generations.

Meet Chloe — The Confident Queen with a Tender Heart
Chloe is the undisputed diva of our Labrador family. Independent and poised, she moves through life on her own terms—but don’t let that regal air fool you. Beneath her confident stride is an incredibly sweet soul who adores cuddles and affection. Whether she’s lounging gracefully on the couch or casting that signature “look” to request some love, Chloe always knows how to make a connection.
She’s the natural leader of her group, gently guiding and corralling the others with calm authority and quiet confidence. Yet, despite her alpha nature, Chloe’s affectionate temperament shines brightest in the quiet moments—nuzzling into your side, resting her head in your lap, or simply sitting close as if to say, “I’ve got you.”
At a healthy 70 pounds, Chloe brings together the best of both worlds: grace and guidance, loyalty and love.

Meet Mia — Our Water-Loving Jolly- Ball- Obsessed Queen
Say hello to Mia, one of the sweetest souls you'll ever meet. Overflowing with affection, she’s the kind of companion who lives for snuggles and quiet moments curled up by your side. Loyal to the core, Mia embodies the true meaning of “man’s best friend.” Her gentle nature and soft heart make her a calming presence in any room.
But don’t let that tenderness fool you — Mia is also full of energy, personality, and pure athletic joy. She’s an enthusiastic fetch partner and absolutely lights up around water. Splashing, swimming, soaking her paws… the outdoors is her happy place.
And then there’s her Jolly Ball — Mia’s pride, joy, and full‑time hobby. It doesn’t matter if the sun is up, down, or if everyone else has called it a night… Mia can play with that ball for hours. She’ll sprint, leap, and show off her athleticism like she’s training for the canine Olympics. That Jolly Ball brings out her playful, unstoppable, zoom‑queen side every single time.
Weighing in at a healthy 70 pounds, Mia blends tenderness and playfulness in perfect harmony. She’s a joyful presence, always ready to share her heart — and maybe a few slobbery tennis balls too. Mia is truly one of a kind, and we’re grateful every day to have her as part of our Luvable AZ Labs family.

Meet Koda: Queen of Cuddles
Koda is our sweet and soulful Chocolate English Lab who’s never far from her humans — especially if there’s a cuddle involved. With her velvety coat and gentle eyes, she’s the definition of a lovebug. Whether she’s lounging in your lap (yes, all 85 pounds of her!) or splashing joyfully in the pool, Koda brings warmth, affection, and a whole lot of tail wags to every moment.
She has a calm, nurturing presence that makes everyone feel instantly at ease. Koda is the dog who leans her whole body into you for love, follows you from room to room just to be close, and wholeheartedly believes she is a lap dog. Her bond with her people is deep, loyal, and incredibly tender.
But don’t let her soft side fool you — Koda has a playful, water‑loving side that we just love! And her favorite day of the week? Irrigation day. Watching the water fill the yard is her version of a holiday.
Koda also takes her role as “supervisor of the crew” very seriously. Whether you’re working in the yard, fixing something around the house, or simply walking from one room to another, she’s right there overseeing operations with her calm, steady presence. She’s observant, attentive, and always making sure her people are doing things correctly — according to Koda’s standards, of course.
She embodies everything we adore in an English Lab: gentle, affectionate, people‑oriented, goofy in all the best ways, and beautifully balanced in temperament.
Koda is truly one of the hearts of our home and our program — our cuddle queen, our water‑baby, and our resident supervisor.
