Home Sweet Home

Kenya Labradors is located in gorgeous Santa Margarita, on the California Central Coast. With a lifetime of dedication and love to animals, including breeding and showing Arabian horses, we feel honored to specialize in the highest quality English Chocolate Labrador Retrievers.

We breed English Chocolate Labrador Retrievers for one thing only: the best possible all-around companion who exemplifies the ideal characteristics of the breed, which not only conforms to the AKC standards, but also results in a dog extremely well balanced in temperament, a pleasure to train and a beauty to behold.

For show, hunting, agility and home companions— Kenya Labradors' puppies have the breeding to become the dog of your dreams! 

We invite you to come and experience these remarkable English Chocolate Labrador Retrievers for yourself!

STANDARD OF QUALITY & CARE ~

Because of our commitment to humane values and stringent standards of breeding, we keep only a small number of dogs to show and breed. This allows them to live and play on expansive grassy meadows and swim in their own pond: never in enclosed or impersonal kennels. In addition to this idyllic outdoor life, our dogs sleep inside our home. It is really something to see them cuddle together, forming one massive 'Chocolate Labrador' rug!

These dogs are not just our hobby and profession; they are also our dear friends. We are as devoted to them as they are to us. Together, we train and participate in many competitions, including obedience, agility, tracking, and performance events. Plus, we are proud winners of the AKC's Canine Good Citizen® awards.

~ We breed to the best, so you can have the best. ~

E-mail for a phone appointment — We are often outside with the dogs and catching phone calls can be quite a challenge. We're sure you'll agree that establishing our first contact by email allows us to set an appointment wherein we can give you our full attention. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry, absolutely no shipping.

Kenya Labradors does not participate in cross-breeding English Chocolate Labrador Retrievers with other breeds to make designer dogs.

I could walk around my yard barefooted.

My house could be carpeted, instead of tiled and laminated.

All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.

When the doorbell rang, it wouldn't sound like barking.

When the doorbell rang, I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies racing to get there before me.

I could sit on the couch the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies need to be comfortable.

I would not place strange presents under my Christmas tree: dog bones, dog toys, nor would I have to explain to anyone why I wrap them.

I would not be friends with every veterinarian and pet store in my area.

The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE.

My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.

My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash.

I would not have to spell the words B-A-L-L-, F-R-I-S-B-E-E, or W-A-L-K.

I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.

I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog ties them down too much.

I'd look forward to seasonal rainstorms instead of dreading mud season.

And truly, I would never get to answer the question, "Why do you have so many dogs?" from people who will never know the joy of sharing SO much unconditional love with creatures who are as close to angels as we will ever meet.
