As part of the Smoky Mtn. Kennel family located in the foothills of East Tennessee, we are proud to offer not only world-class chocolate Labradors but also top-quality English Labradors. With nearly four decades of experience in breeding dogs, we work hard to ensure that your receive the highest possible quality English Labrador. While this website highlights our chocolate Labs—which we know are incredibly popular— we also have black and yellow Labradors available and are always happy to help you find your perfect furry companion.
Our pups, descendants of AKC Grand Champion and AKC Champion bloodlines, are top-quality full English Labradors. This prestigious lineage ensures exceptional breed standards and desirable traits in our puppies.
Throughout the history of Smoky Mountain Labradors, we’ve been honored with great success in the show ring. With AKC Champions like Smoky Mtn Moose and Camo paving the way, we continue building on that foundation with each new generation. Our program is rooted in a deep understanding of what it takes to produce a true standout—what we proudly call “the gentleman’s dog.” From structure and movement to presence and poise, our Labradors are bred and trained to excel.
This division is dedicated to refining the training and temperament of our Labradors. Here, each dog is taught foundational obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, come, and heel—all essential for a well-mannered companion. Beyond commands, we emphasize proper behavior in both public settings and the home, helping our dogs become confident, respectful, and reliable partners in any environment.
Our newest division focuses on training Labrador Retrievers as skilled gun dogs. These dogs learn to respond to commands with precision and retrieve game both on land and in water. Though still growing, this program is already showing strong success in developing dependable, driven working dogs.
At Smoky Mountain Labradors, the health and well-being of our dogs always come first. We exclusively feed our Labs Purina Pro Plan to give them the nutrition they need for optimal growth and vitality. Every dog undergoes comprehensive health screenings through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), ensuring our families receive healthy, sound companions. To uphold transparency and excellence, each Lab is assigned an AKC registration number, and our show dogs compete exclusively in AKC events. These practices reflect our unwavering commitment to ethical breeding, responsible care, and top-quality English Labrador Retrievers.
Your gentle, loyal, lifetime companions.
