Our puppy program is very thorough, balanced, and includes also the very best nutritional supplements and food on the market.Our breeding dogs are tested through Paw Print Genetics for the common diseases within the Labrador breed. These results can be seen under each dog’s in Hunting Lab Pedigree which has their Paw Print Genetics linked to them.
Our Labradors are beautiful Purebred dogs that carry superior temperament, drive, and train-ability. Our goal is to breed a well-balanced retriever – one that can be a great hunting companion that excels when trained and then come home and be a full-time house dog. When it comes time to train, they can turn it on a switch, but when it comes time to relax, they can relax just as fast!

Our dogs at Quick Trigger Kennels are primarily of the color “Fox Red”. The Fox Red Labrador Retriever is a color variation from the traditional Yellow Labrador Retriever. While their coats are called “red,” these dogs are a very dark shade of yellow. The AKC technical color of the fox red Labrador is “Yellow”. The beautiful red shade of our dogs varies but, all have the color of a fox red. The coats change color over the year, and will typically darken as the dogs age.
Quick Trigger Kennels occasionally has litters including “Black” Labradors. QTK will introduce a top-quality Black pedigree labrador (NFC)to one of their top QTK Fox Red pedigree labrador females to produce excellent offspring with will carry the yellow and black coats that will also include National Field Trial Champion pedigrees as the sires. Quick Trigger Kennels is always looking to improve the Labrador breed by bettering the pedigree and keeping the dogs healthy (health testing and genetic testing). This is why we are bringing in some of the other National Field Champion and Field Champion Labradors into our lines. We believe that combining these lines with our dogs are going to make spectacular dogs that can compete at all levels and still be the most loving hunting companion at home.
