The Breeder’s Investment: English (Bench Line) Labradors

At Heaven Bound Labradors, we specialize exclusively in the English (Bench Line) Labrador Retriever. Known for their blocky heads, thick "otter" tails, and calm, stable temperaments, the Bench Line represents the pinnacle of breed conformation.

Choosing a Heaven Bound Labrador is a significant investment in quality. Whether you are looking for a companion or a foundation for a breeding program, you are investing in a lineage carefully curated for health, beauty, and the classic English "off-switch."

Full Registration & Breeding Rights

We are highly selective with the placement of our breeding-quality puppies. Preserving the English Bench Line requires dedication to the standard and a refusal to compromise on genetics.

Investment: $6,500
Exclusivity: Full AKC Registration and breeding rights are granted only to approved homes. We prioritize programs that are actively working to preserve the integrity of the English Labrador.
Criteria: We do not sell breeding rights to high-volume kennels or "backyard" operations.
Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to health testing and breed-standard excellence.

Strict Dilute-Free Mandate

To protect the purity of the English (Bench Line) Labrador, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy regarding dilute-gene dogs.

No Dilute Affiliation: We do not sell to or are affiliated with any breeders who produce or promote dilute colors such as Silver, Charcoal, or Champagne.
Genetic Integrity: These colors are the result of cross-breeding and are a disqualification of the Labrador breed. Our program is strictly dedicated to the traditional Yellow (White), Black, and Chocolate palette.
Contractual Enforcement: Any breeder found to be cross-breeding our lines with dilute-producing programs will have all future rights and affiliations permanently revoked.
