Welcome to High Desert Labradors!
As a small, family breeder, High Desert Labradors lovingly raises each puppy to be kid-friendly and well socialized, as a part of our family with four children. Founded in the scenic high desert of Albuquerque, New Mexico, we raised puppies and children in Texas and have permanently relocated to Santa Fe, enjoying our 13th year of breeding and raising pure bred AKC Labrador Retrievers.
Our Lab puppies are born and raised in our family home, under constant supervision and care. Unlike larger breeders, our puppies are NEVER confined to outdoor concrete kennels. Instead, our pups live in our family home and interact and play with us every day. Learn more about us here.
High Desert Labradors come from excellent lines including International and National Show Champions and accomplished Master Hunters. Despite their amazing pedigrees, we choose not to show or hunt our dogs. We only breed for the enjoyment of the puppies and to further promote Labrador Retrievers that have the excellent health, temperament, intelligence and beauty you expect from a pure bred Labrador Retriever. Learn more about our dogs here.
Each of our breeding dogs achieves strict health clearances, including Hips & Elbows certified by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFFA) and genetic testing to screen out diseases of the heart (EIC - Exercise Induced Collapse) and eyes (PRA/PRCD – Progressive Retinal Atrophy). See our Policies & Pricing page for information on our Health Guarantee. Our Guardian Family Program offers another option to bring the highest quality Labrador puppy home.
"Our family has had multiple experiences with Katie and High Desert Labradors – we currently have three of Mulligan’s pups between my sister and myself. The puppies are all very sweet, loving and social and love being a part of our family. High Desert Labradors produces dogs that are a picture of health and beauty. Katie is an extremely dedicated and ethical breeder who breeds out of love and respect for her dogs. She is an owner’s dream come true for those who want healthy, happy and loving labs!" --Jaime (Owner of "Oliver" and Aunt of "Emma" & "Chester"), Albuquerque, New Mexico

"We cannot be happier or ask for better service and communication from a labrador breeder than High Desert Labradors. From the very beginning, Katie has kept us informed and updated. When our deposit date was not early enough to get a pup from the first litter we were hoping for, Katie walked us through the process patiently and we got our baby Riley from the next litter! Even our vet has acknowledged that Riley is from an excellent breeder. She is a sweet, wonderful addition to our family. --Nicole (Owner of "Riley"), El Paso, Texas

"Just wanted you to know that everyone at the vet's office today was quite smitten with Luca and very impressed with all that you do as a professional, caring and ethical breeder. Luca is thriving and from all appearances, has transitioned seamlessly. Happy, curious, confident… we are so grateful to have him as part of our family."
