English Labradors,
raised with love
and purpose.
We're a family in central North Carolina raising English Labrador Retrievers — health-tested, gently socialized, and brought up underfoot with our kids. Your next best friend is waiting.
Raised in our home
Our dogs play with our kids and nap at our feet. Puppies grow up in the middle of family life, not in a kennel run.
Health tested first
Every dog is AKC registered with completed genetic testing. Hips and elbows are OFA evaluated or cleared by parentage.
True English type
Blocky heads, thick coats, calm heads on their shoulders — including imports from our trusted partners in Serbia and Poland.
Matched to your family
Hunting partner, show prospect, or a cuddly bear to love — we take the time to find the pup that fits your life.
Puppies looking for their families
Yellow, black and chocolate puppies are with us now, and the Mila & Bear and Lucy & Knox litters are open for reservations.

Reach out
Call or text us with a little about your family and what you're hoping for in a Labrador. There's no cost to start the conversation.
Reserve your spot
A deposit holds your place on the waiting list for a current or upcoming litter.
Meet and match
As the puppies grow we watch their temperaments closely and help you choose the one who fits your home, needs and preferences.
Welcome home
Pick up in Archer Lodge, or let us arrange ground or air transport. We stay a phone call away for the rest of your dog’s life.
Ready for the first night, and the years after
With each litter we donate a portion of the proceeds to charities close to our hearts — sharing the joy these dogs bring.
The mothers behind every litter
All AKC registered, genetically tested, and known inside and out — because we live with them every day.
Bailey Girl
81 lb · 10/25/2021Out of Diablo and Si, from a well-loved North Carolina line. The sweetest girl in the house — she would take petting over treats all day. Expected to throw chocolate, champagne and black.
GENETICS & PEDIGREE AVAILABLE
Mila Bear
74 lb · 12/25/2022An import from our trusted partners in Serbia. Fully English, thick and fluffy enough to earn the name Bear, and smart as they come. Carries chocolate and black.

Lana Del Rey
78 lb · 01/04/2023Also a Serbian import, and the most laid-back Lab we've owned. Happy poolside but never in the pool, two throws of fetch, then back to watching the kids — and always at mom's feet.

Aśka Willow
55 lb · 07/10/2023Our newest girl, imported from Poland — her name means “to rise, east.” Bright, sociable and easy to train, always ready for fetch or an outdoor adventure.
GENETICS & PEDIGREE AVAILABLEWatch our pups grow up
Litter announcements, growing-up photos, go-home days and everyday life with our Labradors land on our social pages first. It's the best place to watch the newest pups week by week.
Give us a follow so you don't miss the next litter, then call or text when you see a pup you love.
What our families say
“Where do I even begin! Abigail is an absolute angel. Last week she flew a puppy from North Carolina to Denver for my family. I found Archer Lodge Labrador’s on Facebook, and reached out immediately. Abigail got back to me right away and made the process super easy and comfortable. We are so happy with our puppy! I highly recommend Archer Lodge if you are looking for a puppy. 🙏🐾🤎”
“I had a great experience importing two adult chocolate females with Archer Labs! They were forthright through the entire experience and the dogs came to me in excellent condition. They were well cared for, it was very obvious. Beautiful quality and healthy. Archer Labs services both met and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.”
“Our puppy is perfect. Easy transaction. April had all the information anyone would need. Pre -crate trained. I hope I don’t need another puppy for 15 years - but I will go back if I do.”
