TLW Princess Abigail - See pedigree*


Abby was created right here at TLW Kennels through Montezuma and CFTP Princess Jasmine's lines.

​She is our first Dam to be created right here in Arizona. We are so happy she is the carrier of the recessive Silver gene. She was the runt of her litter with a cute adorable face that we just fell in love with. We called her little Jewel because she took after her paternal grandmother. She is a wonderful mother to her puppies. We are excited that she threw Black, Chocolate, Yellow, Charcoal, Silver, and Champagne with her first litter. She is a valuable asset to TLW Kennels. Her puppies are in such high demand we already have a waiting list for her next litter.

Lady Virginia Rich Chocolate

Ginger was a blockhead full of muscle and drive to please me. She could almost read my mind. She took 4th place two years in a row in the annual Frisbee contest at Clement Park in Littleton Co. She was a wonderful partner and although I was not a hunter, friends would often take her hunting. She lived with us until she was 10 years old where she went to live with a loving family who had an autistic son. They became great friends and she spent the rest of her days being his companion.

Montezuma Revenge of Virginia - See pedigree*

Monty was a family member and Steve's best friend, He had all the great traits that Labradors are known for. Everywhere Steve took him, people would stop and want to pet him and know all about him. Monty was the foundation of our new Kennels in Arizona. We moved here to have a large place to raise dogs. He enjoyed running the 10 acres our Kennels sit on. He was very patient with all of the new pups and was a great example to them all. He was very smart and could open doors, on command. He was known for his ability to catch frisbees high off the ground and could leap 33 feet off our friends dock at Loveland Lake in Colorado. He has been retired from studding and is living a peaceful life as an emotional support dog with a loving family. We truly miss him.

Chante' Virginia Cocoa Puff - see pedigree*

Chante' was the runt of Ginger's second litter and the most beautiful puppy I had ever seen. She was even stolen from us when she was 6 weeks old. We were lucky enough to get her back.  She was a happy dog, well trained and was the object of everyone's affection. She spent time in our retail store where everyone wanted to take her home. She was a wonderful mother and took great care of her puppies. She loved to swim and so at 10, we gave her to a couple that moved to the country where they had a small pond on their property. They too had an autistic child and she has been her companion. We try to find homes for our aging dogs to live out the remainder of their days with purpose. 

Cold Hand Luke - See pedigree*


Cold Hand Luke, or as we like to call him, Luke the Duke, formerly known as Blue Steel has returned to TLW Kennels. He is an amazing charcoal-colored dog who we consider the gentle giant of our Kennel. He loves all the new puppies and he thinks he needs to show them all how to get along. He is very gentle and they enjoy it when he is around and follow him everywhere. He was originally sold, but the owners were unable to keep him so we are fortunate to have him back.  He is originally from the Pursuit of Labrador Kennels and was actually born right here at TLW Kennels. Because he was not raised at TLW Kennels, genetic testing was not done. We are happy to say that he is in that process now. We are excited to offer him out as a stud once his testing is complete.

Team Take Em's Princess Amber - See pedigree*

Princess Amber was one of our beautiful dams. She was a gift when we got her and has produced some of the most beautiful puppies we have ever seen. Being a charcoal labrador retriever she carries the dilute gene. This gene creates Charcoal, Silver, and Champagne Labradors. Because of her size, just under 60 lbs.  we were able to create a small streamlined female labrador. We truly enjoyed Amber at TLW Kennels and the years she was with us. She has been retired and was adopted out to a loving elderly couple to spend her remaining days as a companion to them. She is very happy tending to their needs as an emotional support dog.
