Located on the Eastern shore of Maryland, Steele Labradors specializes in producing exceptional Labrador Retriever puppies for loving, responsible owners. Our goal is to produce the true working Labrador; a show quality Lab that has it's drive for hunting. We are very active in conformation and hunting competition, and are proud members in good standing of The Labrador Retriever Club, Inc., National Labrador Retriever Club, the Talbot Kennel Club and our dogs proudly donate blood to the Eastern Veterinary Blood Bank. Our breeding program emphasizes conformation, health, temperament and ability, and we're always striving to improve the Labrador breed with every litter that we produce. Each labrador puppy is born and raised right in our home as an important part of our family. Each puppy is loved, cared for and gently handled on a daily basis.
We pride ourselves on the health, temperament and working ability of our dogs. All of our Labs are OFA and CERF tested and certified. Both potential parents are temperament tested and have proven themselves to have the "retriever drive". Our dogs are regularly examined by a licensed veterinarian and have all up-to-date vaccinations. 
All of our puppies are sold on limited registration unless otherwise sold on a co-ownership. Before being placed with their new families, our puppies are vaccinated against Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza and Coronavirus. They are carefully examined by our veterinarian, de-wormed, have their dew claws removed and come with a full health guarantee. Our buyers have 48 hours from the date of transfer to have their new puppy examined by their veterinarian. If the puppy is determined to be unsound, the buyer may return the puppy to us for a full refund. We also offer a 2 year guarantee against Hip Displaysia and PRA. All puppies are very well socialized and are introduced to birds before they leave our kennel.
We have owned and loved Labrador Retrievers for more than 15 years. We are very devoted to our dogs and their puppies, and do our utmost to ensure that they are being placed in homes where they will be treated with love and kindness. Potential buyers must have a thorough knowledge of the responsibilities that go along with dog ownership, and be able to provide a clean, safe, happy, healthy and permanent home for their puppy. We recommend that all puppies be enrolled in puppy obedience classes to help them reach their full potential as cherished family members. We'll be glad to provide any advice and support that may be needed as you adjust to life with your new family member, and we love to hear from our new "extended" family members!
