Early socialization is vital to your new puppy’s long term mental health and behavior. As a family breeder when you adopt a puppy from us you are not purchasing a pup that has changed hands multiple times before reaching you.

Our Nashville, TN families love that our puppies grow up on our farm in and around our family, kids and other animals to give them the socialization experiences you want and need to ensure they are well balanced and fit seamlessly into your home.

Crate and Potty Conditioned
How puppies are raised for the first 8 weeks of their life matters, and instilling good habits is another way we think our English lab puppies stand out from the rest. From the young age of 4-5 weeks we are already laying the foundation for crate and potty training. Each of our puppies are accustomed to using the toilet outside and are trained to use a dog door with a special non-skid puppy safe ramp to help create good habits early. Having crates available for lab puppies to sleep and spend time in enforces positive associations.

Why Choose An English Lab Puppy?
The English Labrador Retriever is renowned for its exceptional temperament with children, making it an ideal family companion. These dogs are inherently friendly, gentle, and patient, qualities that contribute to their strong bond with kids.

They often exhibit a natural sense of protectiveness and are generally tolerant of the occasional rough play or noisy environment typical of a household with young children.
Their intelligence and eagerness to please also play a significant role in their positive interactions with children. English Lab puppies can quickly learn and adapt to family routines, including respecting boundaries and playing gently. This adaptability, combined with their affectionate and loyal nature, ensures that they form deep and lasting connections with their young human family members. With proper socialization and training, English Labs typically integrate seamlessly into family life, bringing joy and companionship to children and adults alike.

What makes our English Lab Puppies TN so special??
We are honored that you are considering our family’s lab puppies as your next furry friend.
Here’s a little snippet of what makes our English Lab Puppies special… We carefully select our breeding dogs based on their temperament, health, trainability, and looks to ensure we produce happy, well-adjusted puppies. Our Fox Red Lab puppies tn are known for their calm, friendly nature, love for retrieving, and beautiful, dense coats. We occasionally have litters with some American (field) lines for those who love a bit more energy and a sleek, athletic build. Our lab puppies are known to be exceptionally easy to train, have a strong desire to please and adapt quickly into their new family’s lives. We attribute this to our high-quality breeding lines and the personal care we give our English lab puppies, who are raised in our home and on our farm amidst our family, children, and other animals. Our dogs and puppies are never kenneled in small pens on unnatural surfaces, but run and play freely together in large grass paddocks and swim in our large pond. Lab puppies tn at Escalante Kennels are whelped (born) in our home with our constant supervision during the first critical periods of their lives. We are with our dams (mama’s) throughout the birth and act as the ‘midwife’ -helping to assist, cleaning and suctioning puppies, reassuring the mama, offering food, water or other high calorie snacks, being in contact with our vet and if necessary, transporting mama and puppies to our wonderful local veterinarian during all times of the day or night. Raising puppies is not for the faint of heart, and is truly a labor of love. |
Our 'Puppy Palace' is a cozy, heated, and air-conditioned space designed for the comfort and safety of our puppies as they grow. By the time they’re ready to go home, they’re already accustomed to using a dog door and have started potty and crate conditioning. We work hard to make sure the transition to your home is as smooth as possible by helping them develop good habits early on. We feed our English Labrador Retrievers high-quality kibble without corn, wheat, or soy, to ensure optimal health. Our family is committed to raising loving, healthy puppies that will bring joy and companionship to your family for years to come.
