Our Story

Labradors sort of grab you by the heart. At least they did with us and our first dog together Jimmy Stewart. He was a star to us, like all dog parents, and made us forever wonder what it would have been like to have one of his puppies around. This curiosity got the best of us as we aged and here we are with It's A Wonderful Lab.

Our breeding program is nestled in the stunning landscape of South Lake Tahoe, where our dogs enjoy an active, outdoor lifestyle that shapes their robust health and adventurous spirit. Every puppy is raised in our home with early neurological stimulation, extensive socialization, and exposure to various environments. We believe the first eight weeks are critical in developing confident companions that bring joy to your family.

Our Location

Our location in South Lake Tahoe is more than just a beautiful backdrop — it's an integral part of our breeding program. The mountain environment provides our dogs with year-round outdoor activities, fresh alpine air, and a lifestyle that keeps them physically fit and mentally stimulated.Puppies raised at altitude develop strong cardiovascular systems and robust immune responses. They experience diverse weather conditions, varied terrain, and natural socialization opportunities that prepare them for a wonderful life in any environment.

South Lake Tahoe, CA

You could call it the Bedford Falls of the Sierra Nevada Mountains if you wanted. Mark Twain called it "the most beautiful place in the world." He was pretty smart.
