Testimonials

“Top Notch!, We couldn’t be happier with the experience, from the first contact, the continuous updates on the breeding, the pregnancy and the birth of our new family member, then finally the arrival by an awesome professional transporter (Mark). Gene could not be more professional, he delivered on every promise he made on our original phone call. Our little guy Beasley has to be the smartest, best looking English Lab we have ever seen, It was obvious that he had already received a lot of hands on before the carrier driver brought him to us. If you want a Lab of the highest quality, just look on the web site and compare to other breeders, you will not be sorry. We were hooked as soon as we saw MOOSE. Our Beasley is a spitting image. If you want a breeder that will treat you like family, this one is for you.”

“We are so happy with our little girl from Smoky Mountain Labs. She is exceptional in every way. She’s smart, healthy, has a great personality and fits perfectly into our family which includes a 3 yr old lab. Best friends since minute 1. Our experience from beginning to end was flawless!
Bottom line? Gemma is an English Lab of the highest quality!”

Korie

“Without a doubt Kim and I have had a wonderful experience with Gene. He has gone so far above with his customer service. I have been able to follow up and ask many questions and he has been excellent the whole time. We started with one amazing chocolate lab and she has been the most beautiful, intelligent dog and she has been a rock star everywhere we go. We HAD to have another so we bought a second puppy and she is black. We have had dogs for 35 years but we have never had anything close to these two. We love them! My advice to you is get one as soon as you can - or if you are like my wife and me - get two.”

Lisa

“We recently took delivery of our new black lab puppy Quincy. He is a great looking lab but more importantly he has a great personality laying his head on my foot when I sit down and fitting in great with our two other labs and St Bernard, constantly playing with them and was never shy of them right from the start. Gene and Mark were a pleasure to deal with. Glad to be part of the Smoky Mtn Lab family.”

David

“Gene worked tirelessly to assist in getting our family the perfect puppy! Our new fur baby is well mannered and healthy and slept through the first night without a peep! I am so honored to have one of their pups and will enjoy the benefits of Gene’s thoughtful and measured breeding standards for years to come as we share our home and hearts with our newest family member! Thank you Gene, Fabian and David!”
Laura

“We had a great experience. We got our little boy, Moose, two weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. He is very healthy and smart and we love him so much already. He has the biggest personality and is very mischievous, but he catches onto commands quickly.
We received excellent service from the breeder with updates and photos throughout the process.
Delivered Moose right to our door!
So happy, would definitely recommend.”

“From start to finish - getting our new puppy has been such a great experience.. Gene was amazing to work with. He arranged delivery from Tennessee to Miami and we received the most beautiful and sweet boy! He has been available with ALL of our questions and continues to give us guidance. So blessed we chose to get our lab from here. You will not be disappointed.”

Claire

“I had the privilege to work with the most wonderful breeders dealing with Gene. It was absolutely great to work with from the first call to when my adorable puppy arrived. He is a professional that knows everything about labs. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend to anyone interested in raising a Labrador. The whole process was transparent and Gene walked me through all the steps, even after my pup got home. Thank you Gene and the Smoky Mtn family!!”

John

“It began with me googling the top breeders in the US for the English style of Labrador Retriever that we love. My husband communicated to Gene what we were looking for a black male and we were prepared to wait for that special dog. However, looking at the website, you could see they all looked exceptional. Gene did call us awhile later and said he had a 6 month old pup and that he had been socialized and fully trained. Moshe came to us at 8 months as we were away and he is a wonderful puppy. He is so lovable with a great disposition. You can tell that his early training was done in a very gentle manner. He is extremely calm but can be mischievous..almost too clever for his age. We have 2 other dogs and he was accepted into the pack very quickly. We are looking forward to years of enjoyment with this magnificent dog.”
