Looking for Breeder in Northern Ca or beyond for started pup

Hi all we have begun the search for a new family member and I could use your help. I would really appreciate some recommendations for breeders in CA (willing to do out of state for exceptional pups/training). Ideally we would like to pick up a started pup in the late July/Aug time frame. Color isn't critical but Im not huge fan of the true bench look(heavy set) and would prefer the looks of an American Lab but lower energy as its a companion dog. Had some friends recommend Varian Kennels in CA and Sundance Retrievers. Would appreciate msgs/email if anyone has experience with these breeders or who you would look into.

Thanks for all the help, excited to take this journey

Welcome to the board! In general we don't mention/recommend specific breeders on this forum. If you get your post count up over 5 I believe you can get private messages. There are several people on the forum from Cali so I'm sure you can get some good recommendations!!

Yup got it hoping for some PMs or emails. Will work on the post count 8).

The problem is somebody eventually comes along and trashes a breeder and then I get a notice of libel and threatened lawsuite so we keep the conversations private. It's okay to ask but do the talking privately.

People will tell you to look for Labrador Retriever Clubs or organizations like hunting clubs etc. in your area that will probably direct you or provide assistance.

Just go to the welcome wagon section and say HI to 3 people in their intro posts and you are good to go to get PMs. I have a name I can send you.

thanks Ill get the posts up, appreciate the help!
