I'm on the board of the local club and know many of the breeders here: Breeder List
For the most part, these are all conformation breeders, but conformation Labs do outdoorsy stuff too and many of these dogs could easily get their WCs without training. Some have more drive than others, but I don't think you'll have an issue with any of these dogs being active as long as you keep them healthy and lean. If you're serious about Agility, a conformation dog is probably not your best bet. But, most can easily do the basics especially in the lower level preferred classes (preferred = lower jump height).
All the breeders in my area on this list breed ethically and responsibly and are very involved in the breed and passionate about the breed and the sport. They all do testing and as far as I know and am aware, breed healthy dogs with excellent temperaments. Though some stick out more than others, I can't think of one breeder on the list that would steer you wrong. Even some of the best breeders do not have long waiting lists. In this part of the world, field Labs are way more popular as are BYB Labs.
There's a breeder in your area, who you'll see on the list, but she breeds about once every three years for performance.
Our specialty is in July if you want to come up and meet folks. Our hunt test is also in July, but you'll find just a small handful of breeders there, many of which are working as volunteers for the club and not testing.
Feel free to PM me if you want specific information. I may not have what you are looking for, but could probably hunt it down.
Good luck!

I'll probably PM once I start looking at a specific breeder or two. Or more. Thanks!
