whisper2“Wisper”,(silver labrador) went to South Dakota and this is what the owner had to say:

“Had her pointing the next day. The longest I counted was 15 seconds and I am working her all the time, a minute here and there, gets along with other dogs, and is with me 24/7 in my truck, office, feeding dogs, in my house, sleeps in my bed, and is the nicest (personality) pup I’ve seen in a decade or two. I would stand behind that labrador breeding with every thing in my being. I give it a (that breeding) 100%, don’t change a thing. I was gonna write a page or two now how wonderful she is…. But I think you got the POINT. Can’t say enough awesome, Cheers!”

THIS IS SOME TESTIMONIALS  THAT WAS SENT TO ME CONCERNING SOME OF MY LABS:

OCTOBER 29, 2010

Hey J,  Anita gave me your email  so I could talk to you about your dog you bought from “TWO RIVERS LABS”. I ws just wondering how your dog hunted. Did he catch on right away, was he gun shy, and does like water. I guess a couple of other things that I wanted to know was , is he healthy and how tall is he from the ground to the top of his back?. Would it be possible if you could email me a couple of pictures of him so I can get an idea of what they look like when the puppies get older.   Thanks  D

Hey, D

I picked my fox red up from my trainer today. the trainer and worked him on some very long retrieves and also some water retrievers. It was very cold today(snowing here), but Gus had no problem hitting the cold water very hard.I told my trainer that I might be doing some Goose hunting, He had never worked Gus for Geese, but he pulled a goose out(he keeps frozen ducks and Geese on hand for training and we had Gus retrieve the goose few times. He was puzzled by the size   of the bird at first I think, but he retrieved it every time. Gus brought it back and handed it to me. My trainer is impressed with Gus’s desire  and instinct to hunt.  I told  him  that you  were inquiring about Gus as a hunting  dog   Pretty much he says Gus is ready to hunt and I should start hunting him        JOHN

BUTCH & BOOMER—-The boys  are just terrific, intelligent, great fun and a very important part  of our family. Boomer and Butch have an incredible bond with each other which is very nice to watch. They are also completely dedicated to all of us. Both are very well behaved, but with completely different personalities. Butchie is just the sweetest guy and while he’s mild mannered, he can be very tough with a large bark if he  thinks someone or something is not right.  He’ll take charge in danger situations, plays a great game of soccer and just loves the soccer ball,  but mostly, he’d like to have his belly rubbed and tries to have you do it anytime you are nearby. Boomer is an incredible athlete, and amazing swimmer, solid muscle and very well be the fastest lab around. I’ve never seen a dog go that fast. He’s discovered tennis balls this summer and now is obsessed with them.   Their coats are spectacular, silky smooth and we continually get great comments about the color. Thanks you for the gift of Boomer and Butchie, who continue to bring joy, love and amazement every day. After we lost our Gus, I did not think there were other special dogs out there. I was wrong, have delivered to us some wonderful, smart, caring friendly dogs, Thanks for spreading the love to Connecticut!!!      JANE, MATT, GRACE, HANNA, BOOMER, BUTCHIE

 - –BOWIE—   I thought I would let you know how Bowie is doing,  I  don’t know where to begin  to tell how much joy Bowie has brought to this house, much less to me. He is by far the smartest, most friendly, loving, faithful, playful dog I have ever had, and I have had many. I swear he was meant to be here. He sure has made  himself at home, and he so sooo happy. He weighs 125 pounds, but he is not heavy, he runs-in the yard for his exercise several time a week, and he loves the snow. He is by my side every waking moment. He just has his 2nd birthday,  and of course he had a party with all the trimmings. You sure did a great job picking him out for me, will close for now, stay well and take care, Linda

Hi Anita, I know it’s been awhile since you have heard from me, it’s not that I haven’t thought about you and how you are doing, it’s just time gets away from me. I sure hope you and your family are well, we talk about you often, especially when we are having another great day with Bowie, actually everyday is a great day with him. You are going to think I’m crazy, but as I said before, he was born to be with me!!. Well lets see, he is 145 lbs. of pure joy, sooooo smart, I often say he missed his calling, he should have been a service dog, show him something twice and you don’t have to show him again. And if it’s possible he is closer to me than ever, where did he come from, not a mean bone in his body, loves everyone, and he is spoiled beyond words. I just can’t imagine life without him, we are a pair. Just think he’s going to be 3 years  old soon. I can’t say enough about him. I am thinking of taking him to work with me a few days a month to spend time with the patients, they are all seniors at a rehab and assisted living, he would be perfect to raise there spirits.  Thank you again, Linda

  FROM CHICAGO–THIS IS THE SECOND DOG LINDA HAS PURCHASED FROM TWO RIVERS LABS                           

 

IMG_0877--ROCKY (Small)
July 2009
We looked at many puppies and could tell on the phone that this breeder and these puppies were going to be great. We drove 7 hours(one way) to get our beautiful, healthy “”FOX RED”" lab. The breeder, Anita, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable, especially of labrador retrievers,  and we learned a lot while there (and she was great with educating our 10 year old son). She’s great with the dogs andwe feel like we left with a new friend. She even called and emailed afterwards to make sure  ”ROCKY”  and his new family were doing well. She was also very professional–gave us all the written info we needed for the vet and educated us about his health–we would always go back to “TWO RIVERS LABS” andhighly recommend this labrador retriever breeder!! 
UPDATEApril 2010.
Well we did it again. Rambo was born in January and has joined Rocky at our home in Chicago, Illinois. They are brothers from different litters. We picked Rambo up when he was 10 weeks old and Anita had already started training him. He is an amazing dog–very eager to please and extremely smart. The dogs bonded immediately, playing in the yard and looking out for one another. We had never had two dogs before and don’t regret it for one minute. They are so much fun together–we laugh all the time at how great they are together!!  Thanks so much Anita!!!

“My wife found TWO RIVERS LABRADORS on the web and have been nothing but pleased with their service and the pup. The puppy was flown from Indiana to New Mexico, a 10 hour flight and Anita took care of everything, flight arrangements, pet carrier, shot records, AKC paperwork,  just to name a few things. The pup is now 7 months old and he is beautiful. Wasn’t sure I would like the “FOX RED” color, but he is gorgeous. You can tell from the emails and the phone calls over the past 7 months, that the labrador pups they breed and sell mean a lot to them. They are truely devoted with the breeding and providing their customers with dogs that will have quality genetics coupled with healthy, happy and smart personalities. They are also very interested in hearing about how the pups and dogs are doing as they age.”

At the end of  September, 2009 we sent two FOX RED LABRADORS  to Germany, a male and a female. The new owner is Iris Roemmelt, and this is what she has to say about her purchase of the pups. “Everything is fine with “”Honey”" and “”Jimmy”". They are very dear. They are more spirited than my labradors. At night they sleep in the crate, but during the day, the lie with pleasure on the sofa. They are great dogs and you are a good labrador breeder.

This email is from Karen and Jim from Ohio, they purchased two red girls!!

We have more snow now and the girls love it. Had them out in the woods yesterday, jumping thru the drifts.

They are redder every day!!! They are gorgeous! Everyone ask about them because of their unusual color. People love to see them hanging their heads together out the truck window. They love to go thru the drive-thru where we get milk. The folks there always give them a treat.

They are over 50#’s. They want to love everyone. Still working hard to get them not to jump up on folks, but they are so people friendly. Katy is the whiner, she wants the window down when we go thru town so she can see the people. She whines and cries on the way out to the woods on the gator. Ginger is the barker. She is the watchdog, and barks to get back in the house, where Katy will just lay by the door. It is really neat to see their personalities developing. Katy seems to be the bird dog, and Ginger seems to be the waterfowl dog. We have kick up a pair of bald eagles out of the woods most days, and one time the girls tried to chase them. They are starting to be good mousers, getting mice out of the woodpiles. They love to sleep with us. Time for a larger bed!!

Thanks so much for my red “”Babies”". We love them so much!!!

Karen, Jim–Ohio

 

mandyThis is what Kelloggs Miss Mandevilla’s owners had to say:

“I thought you might like to see a picture of Mandy, one of your  labrador puppies. She is really a nice dog, and is pretty trainable, although like all pups, she likes to push the limits. Elaine really loves her and spends all of her spare time with her. Once again, she is a great dog and we couldn’t be happier with her.”

– Elaine and Ed Wilson


two-labsThese two labs went to the same family, one in Mt. Vernon, Il., and the other one in Chicago Il.

“It’s been a while andI just wanted to send you a picture of our two labrador pups,  Remington and Bronx. They are about 1 1/2 years old now. I thought you would like to see how beautiful they are. We love them.  Bronxs is the darker labrador. who lives in Chicago with my cousin and Remington is the lighter labrador  and lives with me in Mt. Vernon, Il. Bronx weighs about 80 pounds and Remington is about 95 pounds. They both are smart and wonderful.”

– Thanks so much, Gina Spiropoulous


“Lance weighs about 68 pounds, excellent temperment and minds well and is a house dog. He sleeps in a King Size bed with my son and daughter-in-law.”

– Sincerely, Armstrongs


gunner“Gunner”

“…I wanted to name him “Bullet”, (silver labrador), but I got outvoted! Both pups are getting tall & lanky. They are both going to be
beautiful dogs, especially in the face & around the eyes. They really get compliments when people first see them. They should make some really good looking dogs in another year or so. Have a good summer & stay in touch.”

– Larry D. Barak
