February 2024

 

Hello from Johnson Point Labradors,

 

A lot has changed in the last few months. A few more litters have arrived with more healthy & happy puppies going on to their furever homes.  Another of our Dams, Helium, retired in June 2023 and is enjoying life in Washington.  And sadly, our sweet Emerald crossed the rainbow bridge in September 2023. 

 

All other dogs are thriving and enjoying life along with the newest members of JPL,  Emmy,  a black female (daughter of Emerald & Copper) and Finn, a chocolate male labrador.  Emmy is 5 months old and Finn is 3 months old and will be joining the adults when they are older and eventually join the breeding program. 

 

And in other news, Georgette has decided it was time to take life easy and she retired in December 2023.  Cindy continues to run the business with the help of her husband James and other family members. 

 

 

Cindy


     Our philosophy begins with the idea that any Labrador we breed should be one that our family would want to own. Our Labradors are first and foremost family dogs- equally at home in a living room or on our 2 + acre property.  Our dogs produce AKC registered chocolate, yellow, fox red, and black Labrador puppies.  We are located in Olympia, Washington-an hour south of Seattle and two hours north of Portland, Oregon. 

     We breed for temperament and strive for an equal blend of intelligence, loyalty, trainability and beauty.  Each litter is raised with a focus on socialization and pre-training. We strive to ensure our puppies adjust easily to any new environment and bring their new owners as much joy as they have brought to our family over the years.

TEMPERAMENT

BREEDING GREAT DOGS

The temperament of a Labrador puppy is formed through a combination of two factors. One is hereditary and is passed on from its parents.  The second factor is the way in which the dog was socialized from a young age. It has been our experience that a properly socialized dog is far more trainable, adaptable, and well balanced throughout its entire life. 

RAISING PUPPIES

BIRTH TO EIGHT WEEKS

Working towards raising an exceptional dog begins the first time we handle them just after birth. Each pup is handled several times a day thereafter and become a part of our daily lives.  Our Lab puppies are raised with careful attention to their needs at each particular stage of development.  Each week brings new developmental stages and new opportunities to shape these puppies.  

SOCIALIZATION

EARLY EXPERIENCES

Besides ensuring that each puppy is vigorous and thriving, our principal focus is on socialization. Each additional experience that the litter becomes familiarized with is another step towards a well rounded companion.  We begin a socialization program at three days of age and strive to expose the puppies to diverse noises, machines, animals, visitors, and experiences.
