Dewey

In 2009 I bought my boy Dewey from Wendy Kraus he was the most gentle giant ever. He disposition was remarkable. He lived every one and every living thing. I also have as pets cat and chickens and he was a friend to all. My sweet lived for 13 1/2 years never any health issues at all. I highly recommend her puppies to anyone.

Kayce

I was introduced to Kayce when he was four weeks old by Wendy Kraus of Bellvale Labradors. It was truly love at first sight. With two labs already in the house, it wasn’t easy to convince my husband that we needed to add a third dog to the family. But he also secretly loved this chocolate pup, so we brought him home. It was the best decision. The older dogs bonded with him rather quickly and they are inseparable. Kayce is especially close to our 13-year-old female lab, following her around the house and yard and letting me know when Kelly is ready to come in and needs assistance with the steps.

Our boy is enormous, weighing in now at around 95 pounds, but he is as sweet as he is large. As a puppy he was excellent in the crate and only destroyed his dog toys when out of the crate. Because of his good behavior, he only needed a crate until he was six months old. He loves all people and all dogs, making our walks a bit challenging! And he is the best snuggler when it’s time for bed. Kayce isn’t without his issues though. He has a stubborn streak that often can only be broken by a treat or a carrot and sometimes he wakes up a bit too early. But I couldn’t love him more.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the quality of this dog. I recommend Bellvale Labradors and Wendy Kraus without hesitation.

Ruby

Black lab, Ruby, came into my life in June 2021. This would be the first time for me to raise a lab on my own.
Bellvale Labs supported me through the entire process from meeting my girl when she was just 4 weeks old to helping me with training her to walk on a leash right along side the Bellvale labs (we live close by). Whenever I’ve had a question or needed advice it was readily given to me by the breeder. Even now 3 1/2 years later, the breeder still checks in on Ruby who is a happy, silly, energetic, sweet girl!
