Looking for a great Lab?

We're a family hobby breeder committed to offering only the best.

Dewston (Dewey)... he's a permanent fixture in our kitchen. At least there's never crumbs on the floor :)

Each of our dogs live in a loving home rather than a breeder's kennel. (more about our philosophy on the "About Us" page)

Our waiting list can be quite long, but deposits are always fully-refundable and never kept.

4/3/13 Just found out that MollyAnna is indeed pregnant, however, with only about five pups; just like last time.
We bred MollyAnna (below) for her second and last time to Dew below. Their pups are due the very end of April.
Molly is TINY; just 45 lbs of lovely whiteness.

MollyAnna (can you tell she's a serious Giants fan?)

bred to Dew (Not to be confused with our beloved Dewey)

After days of trying, I couldn't figure out how to get this video onto this page the way I normally do.
So, we put it on YouTube hoping you could click on link below (or copy and paste it onto a new page) and see it that way.
It's of MollyAnna's pups at 4.5 weeks old playing with their 6 month old half brother Ruger (also a Dew pup) at our oldest daughter's house.
She and her husband are good friends with Molly's family, so they are hand-raising this litter at her house now since we have been out of town.

6/18/13: A family just moved their deposit to a future litter so we now have one of these cuties available this weekend!

6 weeks old

We bred 2 yr old Sadie for the first time on May 3 to Dew; the above pups sire. She's also a cousin of Molly's.
If she gets pregnant, her babies would be due early July, ready as babies mid-August and have their training started by early November.
I will keep this site up-to-date with the latest news and photos of the potential parents.

***Those in line for Molly/Dew pups, please note: Pick/pick up date is Sat June 22.
More info will be headed your way early June once we know if Sadie is indeed pregnant.***

UPDATE: June 1, 2013: Sadie is indeed pregnant! Just had a sonogram and there seem to be lots of pups in there.
These pups have the same sire (dew) as Molly's babies above and Ruger as well.

This will be Sadie's first litter; due early July.
Those with deposits on file for future litter will have a good idea of where they stand
once Sadie's pups are actually born and we see what she has.

Molly Anna's first litter:

Oct 2012: Dewey, MollyAnna and their 4 week old pups

Then 7 months later!
(Pup in middle both above and below came back and stayed with us May 2013 while her family was in Hawaii.
At the same time her mom Molly was also here having her second and last litter featured above)

May 2013: Dewey, Saydee and MollyAnna (Saydee's still wet from the pool; we couldn't keep her out!)

Dewey playing ball with Saydee.

kids snapped this pic with my phone the other day; thought it was too cute not to share.

Nov 2012: Below are Saydee's brothers; 3 boys from b/w photo above again at 15 weeks.
They were being started by our oldest daughter and her husband and are now in their homes.

Started Pups? (See our Started Pup page for more details)
Ever wish you could find a beautiful, healthy, well-mannered pup from the very best lines
that was already gently trained to listen and obey, and was socialized and ready for you to take places and enjoy?

Maybe you're wondering if a Started Pup is worth the extra money.
Here are a few recent notes...

Paula- Jetta has already become a very much loved member of our family. She is so gentle and is bonding with all of us pretty
much equally. My husband didn't really want to get a puppy. He wanted us to get an adult dog that was completely trained, but now, he absolutely adores Jetta. He is so glad she's our puppy! When he got home from work tonight, he took her upstairs with him so he could spend some one on one time with her! He loves her as much as Bri and I do which is a lot of love for a little puppy.

We have an open desk in our breakfast room so we put a bed under there for her so she can lie down there out of the way while I'm cooking or we are eating. She is so well behaved. We told her to go to bed before dinner and she never budged until we told her it was ok after we were all done eating. She gets to spend so much time with the family because she is so well behaved. We are all being very careful with her training because we will all (including her) be happier with her well trained. I had always been taught by the trainers that we has hired to help me train dogs in the past to use food treats, and I can see that this way is far, far better. Labs are very food driven, plus this way, the training isn't dependent on a food bribe.

Beyond Jetta becoming a member of our family, she has made a huge contribution to my family this week. I think there is something very special about her beyond even the fact that she is obedience trained but I am like a mom now when talking about her kids. There is no way I can possibly be objective and of course I think she the best!

I just wanted to keep you up to date on Jetta and please don't feel obligated to reply. I just want to keep you up on how she's doing since you obviously put a lot of hard work and love into her. That is very obvious in Jetta's behavior. -Rebecca

Hi Paula,
First off ......... love this pup!! She is about as close to perfect as a pup can be. I took her to her new vet for a "well baby" check up. She was sweet to all other dogs and sat and stayed when asked PLUS she was completely helpful to the vet. The vet said she could hardly believe that she is only 17 weeks old. She sits and stays at the open front door when I get the mail etc. She loves to learn new things and she is a pleasure to work with and play with. She is loving and sweet. She responds to correction quickly although she needs very little correction.

The bonus for me is that I take her for several walks a day. The bonus is better health for me and an adorable walking buddy :).

Once again. You and Gilcrist's have started a great pup. She is learning new things quickly and we love her!
Blessings, Linda

1 Year later: Hi Paula, I hope you and your family are doing well.

Hi Paula: Just wanted to send you a little note letting you know how terrific Bud is. He is the sweetest, calmest dog, while also being playful and loving. And he is so well-mannered. Lisbeth's training has resulted in our having the perfect dog. Bud comes with me everywhere. I bring him to outdoor parties, and he is so well behaved. People are amazed that he's still a puppy because he is so well behaved. (one friend described Bud as having an old dog's soul in a puppy's body), Yet when he has the opportunity to play with other dogs, he is so playful. I take him to meetings with me and he patiently lies at my feet no matter how long. And his "potty training" is amazing. We can be at a dog park where Bud is playing with his friends and when it's time to leave, I just tell Bud to hurry up and he immediately goes off and does his business. And each morning and night he goes to his spot on the lawn and quickly takes care of his business. I cannot fully thank you folks for giving us the opportunity to bring home a started pup. We avoided the frustration of struggling through his initial training, and we have a wonderful new member of our family. Bud makes my life richer everyday. I have attached a few photos, including a couple of Bud at the ocean (boy does he love the water!!!). Hope you are doing well and happy holidays to you and your family. Best, Marv (San Francisco, CA)

Marv brought Bud home as a 4 month old pup. He is 9 months old in these photos.

Hi, My name is Shayna and my husband and our 2 year old son live Monterey. I just came across your website and it filled me with so much happiness and excitement! I have been wanting to get a lab for the longest time and have not found the "place" to get him or her. It's also hard for me to imagine that we would be getting my favorite puppy, but already trained! It sounds almost too good to be true! I was a little to excited and didn't read entirely if you had any available right now? Cream colored and starter pup? They are all so beautiful and it looks like you do a wonderful and amazing job giving them a home. I look forward to hearing back from you, Shayna

...about a week later Shayna sent these photos and note:

Hi Paula! It was so nice to meet you and we are so happy with Max (was Otis). He's truly wonderful. We brought him to Carmel Beach today and let him off the leash. He had the time of his life running around playing ball, frisbee and then made some new dog friends. Anthony is in love with him too and is saying how happy he is that we got him. We are doing great. I wish we lived closer and I could bring Max over to play, I know he would love that! I will send more photos soon. Thank you again! Shayna

Paula: We feel blessed to have come to know you a bit and especially blessed that you have such a warm and loving home and that you take the most care and consideration of any dog breeder I've ever heard of! We truly believe you and your family are the reason why the 3 (soon to be 4 - Duke, Sugar, Teddy, and now Rocky) Langley Labs I know here in Menlo Park/Atherton are some of the sweetest, gentlest, most loving dogs we've ever met. Paul and I say to each other daily (really many more times per day, but...) how lucky we are to have Teddy in our lives. He is the GREATEST! Our kids think so and say it daily, friends tell us, the vet tells us, even complete strangers tell us what a great dog he is and how lucky we are! He even befriended someone who swore he'd never be a dog person!! Thank you, Paula and family, for breeding the most wonderful dogs so we can experience this happiness in our lives.

I've attached a picture because of course, we also think he's the most handsome dog we've ever met!

Best wishes to you and your family in 2011,

Cara & Paul Magliaro

Hi Paula - I just wanted to give you an update on our beloved Henry and provide an endorsement for anyone considering purchasing a "pre-trained" pup. I feel like Henry was one of the best investments we have made. When he came to our home he was completely potty trained and crate trained so we never had to get up in the middle of the night with him or clean up any "accidents." Since he already lived with another family, he understood his place in the family structure and has never tried to assert any dominance over my young daughters. As a busy family, I had worried about having enough time to train a puppy, but all we have had to do is continue to be consistent in the excellent training he already received. I also thought his trainer Jamie was a very poised young women who loved Henry and provided a safe, comfortable home for him. I appreciated that she had a valuable experience training Henry and felt good that she would be compensated for making my life so much easier. Henry has become an integral part of our family and it is hard to imagine life without him! Thank you. Whitney Pope Orinda, CA

Paula, Well it has been one year since we came to pick up Roxy (as a started pup) and to say we are happy and satisfied would be an understatement. She is such a sweet, mellow and fun companion for our daughter, Elle. We are constantly amazed at how smart she is. My wife, Cathy speaks to her and she obeys. It is uncanny as if she came programmed understanding english. We feel so lucky and grateful for all your time and effort to breed the exact type of dog we wanted. Fun, loyal, CALM, loves to chase tennis balls. Santa brought her a full box of tennis balls for Christmas and she knew the minute we popped one of the cans what she had. She was so excited. Thank you again and we will stay in touch. Happy New Year.

Sincerely, Rod, Cathy, Elle and Roxy. (Palo Alto, CA)

Hi Paul and Paula,
So THANK-YOU again, I visit your site often and love seeing the new puppies.
For anyone that has a question about whether these puppies are quality, the answer is a blaring YES! You really do get what you pay for!! And I can tell you, a whole lot more!!

Take care, Paul, Chris and of course...Couper

Hello Langley family,

Hope all is well with you. I haven't been on your site for awhile, and finally did, to see some of your new labs. Soooo, cute. I wanted you to see Lundy (at 3 years), and let you know how (hard to describe in a few words) wonderful a companion he has been for us. He is such a good boy with the grandkids, loves to go camping, and swimming at the river. We love him, and are so thankful that our paths came together when they did.

If you would like, please use us as a reference anytime and add this to your site.

Take care, Joyce, Michael and Lundy Dobson (Mariposa, CA)

Paula, Our pup Cali is doing great,
she is the first Lab we have had without any health problems.

Thanks again for a great dog.
