I've heard stories of hyper or destructive Labs, our were neither. Our baby girls were gentle with our human baby girls from the day we brought them home from hospital. Neither dog ever broke or chewed anything. Both Labs were extremely easy to train. Our two silly angels. Trip and Tripper were amazing! We knew nothing about dogs but they quickly and patiently taught us everything we needed to know. They instantly became like family and even visited us in California. Best breed and best, most responsible, breeder!

Edited to reply to the "business": The only reason Tripp won his suit against me, is because he…read moresued me person to person. The reason I lost my countersuit was because I sued Tripp back, when I should have sued Labpups.com LLC instead for the false advertisement that led to the purchase of a dog that gave me hell for the last year, before having to be rehomed due to detrimental behaviors with my other animals and young children. It was a technicality that Tripp played all too well with his court room experience. The judge stated for the record (which I can provide proof of), that I do indeed have a case against Labpups.com LLC for the issues I've stated, so do with that as you wish. Please heed my warning on not doing business with these people, as I should have done myself from the multitude of bad reviews dating back even before mine (some going as far as a decade ago). Thank you for reading. -------- I had a very troubling experience with LabPups.com LLC and Tripp Wood Jr. and I strongly urge anyone considering this company to proceed with extreme caution. I would not recommend this breeder based on my experience. I was sold a puppy at around "7" weeks old, while federal guidelines recommend 8 weeks minimum for separating a puppy from its litter, and in hindsight I believe the timing may have contributed to some of the issues I experienced. The dog was advertised as an "AKC non-hyper family" dog, but that description did not match reality at all. My dog was extremely high-energy, difficult to manage, and nowhere near the calm, family-friendly temperament that was promised. It felt very misleading compared to what I was told before bringing him home. Raising a puppy always requires effort, but this went far beyond normal expectations and made the transition much more challenging than it should have been. This being said, Tripp Jr. offered a board and train 3-week program. While my dog was in their care for the program, my dog returned with injuries that were not communicated to me at any point during the training process. This was extremely upsetting, and I will be attaching photo documentation so others can see exactly what I observed upon my dog's return. In addition to that, the training itself fell far short of what was represented. Based on my experience, the results did not meet reasonable expectations and did not align with the agreement that was discussed beforehand. Within a month he was back to prior behaviors, if not worse than before. I would also strongly recommend that any business dealings be handled directly through the LLC with clear written agreements and documented terms. Based on my experience, it's important to avoid informal arrangements or side agreements with individuals and to keep everything structured, documented, and transparent from the start. When going to court, it's easy to deflect blame to the LLC instead of the individual, as I unfortunately learned myself today. Because of these concerns, I encourage others to do thorough research before moving forward. You can search publicly available records here and just search "Tripp Wood" where you'll see results of litigation on both the father and son that run this business: https://portal-nc.tylertech.cloud/Portal/Home (spoiler alert, not the first time they've been to court!) I recommend asking detailed questions, getting everything in writing, and carefully evaluating whether this company is the right fit before trusting them with an addition to your family, or any level of obedience training.

I have also never worked with a breeder who seemed sincerely interested that her pups remain happy and healthy throughout their life. This is their business, but it is clearly also a labor of love--both for her pups as well as the families who adopt them. Melody was has a wealth of information to raise a dog holistically. Everything they do is professional and detailed oriented. They provide a wealth of professionally written and organized information. Seeking Shalom Acres raises her pups in the home with her husband and nine children. As a result, my puppy was already well socialized and confident, and nearly 100% potty trained. I have never experienced bringing a puppy home and after just two days was successfully going potty on her wee pads 90% of the time. It was the easiest transition/training period ever! Seeking Shalom Acres has an informative and fun Facebook and YouTube channel. Once I purchased our puppy, they provided a complete puppy manual, a puppy checklist....I have never been so prepared to bring a new puppy home. Melody also provides lifetime support which I have used extensively. Melody responds immediately and thoroughly through text or email.

If you're looking for a reputable breeder and want a sweet healthy puppy, Melody will help you pick the right one for you! There really are no words to explain the wonderful experience I had with her, how much I appreciate how much time her daughter obviously Spends socializing and caring for each puppy.
