Thank you for your interest in a Gochee Labrador!
We currently have chocolate males and females available from Indi's litter!
We are small, but well-known, breeder that takes pride in producing versatile, healthy Labrador Retrievers that are proven in just about every direction - from wonderful family and hunting companions, to service and therapy dogs, and many different sports!

Located on a farm in rural Sherrard, IL, our dogs enjoy ample space to play, hunt, and swim in our ponds, while also being our companions - we do NOT have a kennel set up, our dogs and puppies live right in our home! If you aren't local, don't let our location stop you, we have puppies all over the states, Canada and even in Europe! 
So, what sets us apart? We health test ALL of our breeding dogs beyond OFA CHIC standards and we have a unique and in-depth puppy raising protocol starting at birth! This protocol involves Jane Killion's Puppy Culture curriculum from birth to 8 weeks, Body Handing, Temperament Evaluations from Empowered Breeder, Early Neurological stimulation (ENS), Early Scent Introduction (ESI) on days 3-16 from Avidog and so much more!
The proof of this in the puppies!

This is an iconic picture we replicate with each of our litters at 7 weeks old! These are genuine photos showing the training we have put into every single puppy we raise - they have been introduced to the concepts of manding with eye contact, sit and wait and it shows here! 
Dilutes are known for skin and organ issues.  Because we care about the long-term health of the puppies we produce, we only support the ethical breeding of Labradors in the traditional colors of black, yellows (ranging from ivory to fox-red), and chocolates (from light to dark).  Dilutes and dilute carriers are not acceptable for our breeding program.  
ALL of our dogs are Dilute Free.
