We are beyond blessed to have these beautiful girls as part of our Echoing Pines Family!

Here at Echoing Pines we are a small family run Labrador Retriever breeder in Southeast Kansas, who

specializes in English style Black,Yellow-Fox Red Labradors. 

Our passion is helping other families  experience the love and joy that only a Labrador Retriever can provide. We breed labs for those looking for a great companion dog, potential hunting partner, or just a wonderful family pet that is calm yet eager to please.

 

I firmly believe that a puppy is not born a perfect companion or an exceptional hunter — they are shaped into one. The difference lies not in bloodline alone, but in the time, consistency, and effort we are willing to give.

Time builds trust. Every walk, every training session, every quiet moment together teaches a puppy that they are safe, valued, and part of something greater than themselves. Consistency builds understanding. Clear expectations, steady guidance, and patient correction give a young dog confidence and clarity in their role. Effort builds excellence. Whether in the home or in the field, greatness comes from repetition, structure, and dedication.

A well-trained dog is not the product of shortcuts or occasional attention. It is the result of daily commitment — showing up even when it’s inconvenient, reinforcing lessons even when progress feels slow, and choosing patience over frustration. Puppies do not fail because they lack potential; they struggle when we fail to lead with purpose and consistency.

When we invest fully — with discipline, kindness, and intention — we create more than a trained dog. We build a partner. A companion who is steady at our side. A hunter who works with focus and heart. A bond built not only on instinct, but on trust and shared experience.

In the end, the dog we have is a reflection of the work we put in. And when that work is done with dedication and respect, the reward is a loyal companion and a partner worth a lifetime.

​​

Our Labradors are our family. They live in the home with us and are loved endlessly by adults and children and are socialized with our other dogs. We truly believe this is a huge help in developing positive social behaviors with humans and other dogs. 

As a responsible Labrador breeder, our Echoing Pines  Labradors are AKC registered, OFA certified, DNA genetic health tested, and dilute free.

Fox red is not a separate color of the Labrador, but a shade of yellow. In the early years of the breed development, fox red or dark yellow was the original yellow shade of the Labrador Retriever. Fox red is the darkest shade of yellow Labradors.

Regarding the Dilute Gene

     At Echoing Pines, we only breed purebred Labrador Retrievers. We do not breed dilute Labradors (example: silver, charcoal, champagne). True purebred Labrador Retrievers only come in 3 colors: Black, Chocolate and Yellow which range in color from light Cream to dark Fox Red.

       

 

 

At Echoing Pines Labradors, We fully believe dogs are a lifetime commitment. We always encourage potential buyers, or anyone interested in any breed of dog, to do their own research on the breed. There is so much that goes into raising a puppy and taking the absolute best care of your new family member. Knowing about their temperament, energy level, care and maintenance, life expectancy, and more can help you prepare for that.
