Seeking Breeder Recommendations (Northern California)

Hi all,

New to the forum and seeking recommendations on reputable lab breeders in Northern California. My wife and I are located in Oakland, CA and definitely willing to drive a few hours for the right pupy. We're looking for a family/companion dog. Ideally, it would be on the calmer side (lacking the "retrieve all day all the time" characteristic). Slight preference for black labs, but color is not a huge concern. I realize it's a against forum etiquette to discuss particular breeders on the forum, but if folks would be willing to private message me that would be greatly appreciated! I've reach out to our local Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Club, but would like to also get recommendations from members of this forum as well.

Thanks for all your help!

Reach out to Central California Labrador Retriever Club too, I know they (I belong to CCLRC) have a referral person, and there are a couple of good breeders in the Bay Area too.

Thanks so much for the tip, Shelly! Will do.

No recommendations but "welcome to the board".
