About US..

Family & Field Labradors is a dream come true for our family, we thought we would try our hand at breeding a litter in 1992, after owning labs for over 20 years, always with the thought maybe this would be the hobby we were looking for, well some 12 years later it’s more, much more; we have labs in 8 provinces, two territories, and 5 states. We have met great people from all parts of North America and consider them much more than clients. We pride ourselves in staying in touch with our “pups” and their owners, and we look forward to the stories and adventures. We are family owned and operated, one that is growing, however we will never lose our close attachment to our litters, that will never change, and is a priority for us, we will never have more litters at one time than we can handle, meaning personal care for the pups. We are proud of our 99% survival rate of our pups from birth, which reflects the care they receive.

Our kennel operation is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club, and carries the registered name of “Wardensown” Kennels, which is the home of “Family & Field Labrador Retrievers”. Our name reflects the dual capabilities of the breed to be strong, keen, high energy field dogs, at the same time be dedicated, loving, friendly family “members” that soon become a major part of our lives, thus our motto

“ LABS FOR ALL REASONS”.  Labrador Retrievers continue to be the #1 Registered Dog Breed in North America, year after year.

Our Labs …….

We breed American Field Bloodlines, all three colors, from the best bloodlines in North America.   Kevin spent endless amounts of time researching bloodlines and then looking for suitable adults in these bloodlines as the foundation for our breeding program.   His selections were successful, producing excellent dual purpose, high-quality lab pups, and we are more than willing to provide a list of references for our litters. Our pedigrees are second to none in North America, all with NFC, NAFC, FC, AFC, MH, SH, JH credentials, more importantly though, 90% of the dogs in our pedigrees are carrying hip & eye certifications, meaning you are purchasing pups that come from bloodlines with sound health.

Health is our # 1 priority, all our adults are carrying certification from the Orthopedic Foundation of America or the Ontario Veterinarian College for h
