Crates are a great training tool! Your pup is in its happy place where they are safe, keep their best chew toy and favorite item to cuddle with for naps!
They learn to control their bladder as well as when it’s an appropriate time and place to potty once they get out of their crate. It’s a win for for your puppy and a win for you. 🤗🐾💞

Aunt Lynn is a huge part of our Rustic Ridge Family. She not only is the best puppy sitter, she also keeps our website looking nice and working properly. I spend a lot of time messing it up and she spends a lot of time fixing it up! I’m certain we are a great team!🤗

October 24, 2019 Please don’t let your Labradors toenails look like this! This is one of our guests at Rustic Ridge Labradors. He is part of our Rustic Ridge Labrador Family. We had to trim nearly an inch off of his toenails. It’s very painful for the dog and can actually cause damage to their feet. It also causes them to to walk differently because they are in pain. If you are unable to trim your labs nails please take them somewhere and have it done. It’s also a great time to socialize your lab puppy or adult lab. Don’t let your Labrador be in pain! I try to teach all new owners how to trim their dogs nails and how often. Every week or two will keep them from looking like this. I’m happy to help advise any Rustic Ridge Labrador Family member on proper nail trimming! We start trimming puppy toenails at 3 days old and continue until they go home at 8 weeks. It’s a normal part of our puppies lives while they are with us.
October 22, 2019 Shelby lovingly known as grandma is our oldest Labrador at 14 1/2. She is in great health and still even flirts with the boys (Weed and Dre) when she gets a chance!

July 1, 2019 This picture is several months old, but I love it. This is how we go to bed each night! We rotate 4-5 dogs on a regular basis so we get to spend quality time and snuggle with each of them. They don’t share well that’s for sure. All of our dogs are raised in the house and crate trained until they are a year old. Then they rotate from the kennel to the house. I will have them all inside one day. I keep sneaking one more past my husband every night. He’s never sure how many Chocolate Labs he’ll wake up to!

June 23, 2019 Good friends and fellow breeders, Janet and Jr. Saunders, came up to pick up their newest edition. We both very selectively breed. First and foremost is for that amazing Labrador Temperament as well as health and type. We do extensive testing to help insure we are breeding the healthiest puppies possible.

May 26, 2019 First meal at 3 1/2 weeks old!
❤️Fat, Full, and Happy!❤️
This group was ready for food! Each litter varies when they start on food in addition to nursing from momma. Very large litters start food when they can stand on their own, which is around 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. Smaller litters typically start food at 3 1/2 to 4 weeks. Momma’s nurse puppies as long as they want! Puppy teeth come in at 3-4 weeks. Some moms are done with nursing when puppy teeth come in, others will nurse until 7 weeks. That’s when we wean the puppies in preparation for going home to their new families!

May 22, 2019 Pile of 3 week old puppies! Their ears and eyes opened this past week. They are all up walking now. At this age we start introducing them to new sounds that they may experience someday with their families. They are playing with each other and starting to growl and bark as well as play with toys. Fun times ahead! I love this age!
