About Murrayville Kennels:
We have been a breeder in good standing with the American Kennel Club (AKC) for over 42 years. We have been a Licensed Commercial Kennel for many years with the NH Department of Agriculture and receive annual inspections. Due to recent statutory changes effective 7/1/2020, Licensed Commercial Kennels are now identified as Licensed Pet Vendors. We are currently licensed under Pet Vendor License #134 for the period ending June 30, 2025.
We have been members and strong supporters of Ducks Unlimited, affiliated with the Manchester, NH DU Chapter #1. For 15 years, we have made an annual donation of one of our pups for that chapter’s annual banquet/auction as part of their fundraising efforts to support waterfowl & wetlands conservation.
Most of our puppies are located in the New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont & Massachusetts areas. We also have numerous pups that have gone to locations in both eastern & western Canadian provinces, as well as Washington, California, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska, Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, North Carolina & New York. We maintain diversity in our bloodlines and in doing so have brought carefully selected puppies with superior pedigrees from top bloodlines into our kennel from Arkansas, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Maine & North Carolina.
Our Breeding Philosophy:
Our dogs are working, hunting dogs with superb intelligence and also make excellent pets/family dogs. We don’t just breed our dogs, our dogs hunt! That is what this breed was intended to do. We are in the field hunting and working our dogs on a regular basis, every day we can. We hunt our dogs on waterfowl (ducks & geese) as well as upland birds (pheasant, partridge, woodcock, chukar, quail, etc.). Roughly 60% of our dogs go into hunting homes.
Labs in general have not only exceptional visual acuity but also extraordinary scent detection capabilities. Our dogs are extremely intelligent and are easily trained, instinctively developing their abilities with minimal guidance if training is done correctly, is well-timed and consistent. Our dogs do not just flush and retrieve. Many of our dogs naturally go on point on a regular basis as well as flushing birds.
Our lab pups are exceptional hunting companions from proven pointing bloodlines. Our selective breeding can produce some of the best pointing lab puppies you can find. However, we do not intend all of our pups to be pointers or even train our dogs to be pointers. We do, however, promote and encourage this instinct in any of our pups / dogs that show the ability to point and we have had many of our dogs that naturally develop this instinctive manner. It is a good chance your pup could show this ability as well.
Many of our dogs are used as service and companion dogs for either physically or mentally disabled individuals. Some receive unique & specialized training and perform those services including a wide variety of scent detection applications (drugs, explosives, fish, deer, antlers/sheds, etc.)
