About Winterfell Labradors…

Thank you for visiting our website! 

At WINTERFELL LABRADORS our dogs live in the house as family members and are cherished companions. We are members of the Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Club (GGLRC) and the Sierra Vista Labrador Club (SVLRC), and enjoy competing with our dogs in conformation.

We are located in Emerald Hills, California in the SF Bay Area, approximately halfway between San Francisco and San Jose.

Our dogs are currently all chocolate—rich shades of brown that vary from milk chocolate to the darkest baker’s chocolate! However, we love all colors of Labradors—black, yellow and chocolate. Contrary to current “fads” being promoted by less-than-honest breeders, there are ONLY these three coat colors allowed in the Labrador Retriever standard. Any puppies or dogs of other colors, notably silver, champagne or charcoal, are not purebred Labradors. They carry a dilute gene introduced from the Weimeraner, and are being falsely marketed as purebred Labs by unethical breeders.

“The Labrador Retriever…

…is a strongly built, medium-sized, short-coupled dog possessing a sound, athletic, well-balanced conformation that enables it to function as a retrieving gun dog; the substance and soundness to hunt waterfowl or upland game for long hours under difficult conditions; the character and quality to win in the show ring; and the temperament to be a family companion.”
