Rachel at Springwood Kennels far exceeded all of our expectations for a breeder, especially given that this was our first pup of our own.

Adding a family member is no small thing, and Rachel ensured that all families getting a little one were well aware of the puppies health during the first 8 weeks of their lives.

Echo joined our family in May of 2021 and has brought us endless joy since the moment we met her. She took to training quickly and is eager to please, constantly looking to us to ensure she has done what we’ve asked.

Her strong lineage is clear as we watch her train and we can clearly see her calmly thinking and understanding directions. Rachel’s approach to raising Echo amongst her family meant that her exposure to children translated well to our extended family members, as Echo is gentle yet still very engaged with young children. We are so happy to be a part of the Springwood family and are happy with the regular contact we’ve maintained with Rachel as we share updates. Rachel is always one friendly reply away for any Labrador questions.

We truly can’t imagine our lives without Echo, our smart little goofball and best friend. We think that everyone who has and will have a puppy from Rachel at Springwood Kennels is incredibly lucky.
