Penny Lane Labradors
Welcome To Penny Lane Labradors
MEET OUR FAMILY
Hey! Thanks for stopping by and welcome to Penny Lane Labradors. We’re a Coast Guard family raising Labradors on a small farm in the heart of Florida’s horse country, just a short drive from Disney World. This is where our children grow up alongside our dogs, and where we have the joy of welcoming each new litter into the world. My love for Labradors began with Gracie, my family’s beloved Lab, when I was seven years old. My parents raised Labradors, so I grew up learning about the breed and experiencing everything that comes with raising puppies: the excitement of a new litter, the long days of caring for them, and the lasting responsibility we have to the dogs and families who count on us. Those early years shaped the way I approach breeding today. When my husband and I married, he quickly caught the crazy Lab bug too, and In 2016, we founded Penny Lane Labradors. The name pays homage to The Beatles, one of the best bands of all time, and is also a little play on our family name, Dollar. (Pennies and dollars :))Since then, our knowledge, our breeding program, and our family have grown. Our three children are now part of life with the Labs, helping care for them and giving our puppies the chance to grow up around the sounds and rhythms of a busy family home. We raise bench bred Labradors, often called “English” Labradors, which really just means Labradors that are bred to breed standard. We love their beautiful structure, gentle expressions, and the steady, affectionate temperament that makes a Labrador such a wonderful companion. In our own little corner of the world, we’re trying to do our part to better the breed. We strive to breed to the Labrador standard and uphold the integrity of this amazing breed we know and love, with thoughtful attention to health, temperament, and conformation in every generation. That purpose is especially close to my heart with fox red Labradors. I believe there is room to improve health, temperament, and conformation among the reds, and I’m passionate about contributing to that work while preserving everything that makes them Labradors first. We’re proud to be an American Kennel Club (AKC) Bred with H.E.A.R.T. breeder. Our puppies are AKC registered, and our kennel is regularly inspected. The well-being of our dogs guides our decisions, from the care they receive each day to the pairings we plan. Our health testing includes evaluations of hips, elbows, patellas, eyes, and hearts, including advanced cardiac echocardiograms, as well as comprehensive genetic screening. Testing cannot promise that a dog will never face a health concern, but it helps us make informed choices for the generations to come. Life here takes a holistic approach. We believe in lesser vaccines schedules, wholistic premium foods, supplements to help support their bodies to function the way God intended, and lots of outside time and water play. Our Labs have room to run and explore in the country, plenty of time with our family, and care that considers their physical well-being and happiness. We begin socializing puppies early and enjoy watching their individual personalities emerge. As they grow, we pay attention to each puppy’s confidence, energy, curiosity, and response to new experiences. Getting to know them as individuals helps us guide families toward a match that feels right for both the puppy and the people waiting to love them.
Some of our greatest joys have been seeing Penny Lane dogs go on to serve people as service and therapy dogs in Florida and across the country. Others have done well in the show ring. Many are simply treasured family members: the dogs who grow up with children, join in everyday adventures, and settle in beside their people at the end of the day. Each of those lives matters to us.
Thank you for spending a little time getting to know our family and our Labradors. We’re grateful to share the dogs we love with the families who welcome them home.
