Raising Labrador Retrievers for over 20 years!
COVID-19 – The Safety of our Dogs and Customers is our Primary Concern
You are tired of COVID-19, and just want life to be normal again. So do we! Unfortunately we are not there yet so the health and safety of our customers, dogs, and ourselves is our primary concern. Please read this message and help us keep everyone, and every puppy, healthy and happy.
First, if you are visiting us to pick up your new puppy, please wear a face mask and stay at least 10 FT away from all dogs and people on the property. Call or text us at (276) 971-1963 to let us know when you arrive and we will bring your puppy out to you. If you are a medical worker, or in the medical field, we salute you, and ask that you please let us know when you contact us so we can take additional steps if necessary for your visit.
Second, if you live near New Castle, VA (Zip Code 24127), we are now offering special delivery for $150.00. In most cases it is much safer, closer, and easier if we bring your new best friend directly to you. Please notify us at least one week in advanced of your scheduled Puppy pickup so we can put you on the calendar. Also, be sure to have paid for your puppy including delivery fee at least 24 hours before the date to avoid any delays, unless other arrangements have been made with us. If you need to request special assistance or make other plans please give us a call.
Finally… we know the current situation is hard for a lot of families, and that is affecting some people from taking care of their Chips Labs puppy or dog. We understand and want to help. Please text us at (276) 971-1963, or email us at info@chipslabs.com if you are unable to keep your animal, or take delivery of your puppy for any reason. If your dog came from Chips Labs, we will do whatever we can to assist you. Please do not put your puppy or dog up for adoption on Facebook, or any other website or classified ad. If your animal did not come from Chips Labs, or you do not want to contact us, please contact your local veterinary office to see if they recommend a loving family. We want every dog to be happy, healthy and loved, and each of you to have the help you need to make it through these difficult times.
Love,
Cindy

We love our new pup Lany (formerly Frozen) so so much! She has the best temperament (loving, sweet, calm, and playful).... We brought her home just a few days ago and she has been doing great. The first day was challenging for her and anxiety provoking but she has warmed up to us. Lany knows sit, down, no, does great in her crate and is house trained. She even learned her name, come, and up so fast! Cindy did such a great job training her and we could not be happier and more grateful! It was a bit of a drive and may not be ideal budget-wise for some people but I swear it is worth every mile and penny. Cindy has been helpful since the first day I asked about her and gave me so much good advice on Lany. She truly takes good care of her dogs.read more

Chips Labs is phenomenal ! We got Molly (formerly called Browning) two weeks ago and she fits right into the family !... We have always had labs and she is the sweetest and the calmest dog we have ever had. Cindy answered all of our questions when we visited and gave us plenty of time to meet with different dogs while we visited. We could not be happier with Molly ! She is such a sweet dog and understands no ! She has made herself right at home and we could not be happier. She loves meeting other dogs on the neighborhood on walks and loves meeting new people. She is so sweet ! 10/10 recommend Chips Labs !read more

I can not say enough about Cindy and her knowledge of breeding and training her beautiful labs at Chips Labs......We... are so fortunate to have been the new parents of Sir Simba (Kimba) ...Simba is a handsome precious addition to our family with so much character, with pre-training that put him so far advanced that he’s got the advantage of a year old pup....our vet is so impressed, that he says he’s way beyond his age....
Cindy has been so interested, keeping in touch with Simba’s new home......Thank you Ms Cindy..William and Barbara..(Simba says hello)read more

About 3 1/2 weeks ago I brought home my precious Buddy from Chips Labs. I cannot begin to thank Cindy enough for her... efforts in breeding and in her hospitality and love for these animals. Upon arrival in VA, Cindy welcomed us into her home for me to meet my precious pup and allowed me to stay and ask questions and love on him for 3 hours before we departed. I got to see every part of her efforts there and watch her other dogs interact. What I appreciate more than anything about Cindy and Chips Labs is how much she truly loves every one of these dogs as children. Caring for their every need and taking the time to understand each personality of the dogs and how they will fit with the owner. Since adoption day she has been nothing but a source of great support and comfort in any questions I have had. Buddy has quickly become so much more than a dog and Cindy is much more than just a breeder. When you adopt from Chips Labs you are adopting into a family of amazing dogs and an amazing Breeder who will care for you and your dog so long as she is able. There should be no reservations when looking to adopt from Chips Labs.read more

A couple of months ago I got a male chocolate lab from Chips Labs. I was really nervous at first because I had never... raised a puppy before, but I couldn’t of asked for a better experience with Foster (my chocolate lab puppy)! He has been such a blessing to have in my home! He is so friendly, trainable, and has had all good check ups with the vet! Plus, he does great in his crate! He receives a lot of love from my family and I and he gives it right back! I would highly recommend Chips Labs! 🐕 🐶 🐾read more

After being dog-less for 4 years, we took the puppy plunge. Knowing we wanted another yellow lab, we connected with... Chip's Labs. This puppy is so well behaved and smart he has learned so much in the 2+ weeks we have had him. He will already sit and stay when asked, only goes for his puppy toys and has pretty much mastered house training. I am amazed and impressed each day. (And he was one 'without training'!)read more

Cindy also offers trained and started puppies, which we had Jaxs trained and started, Cindy kept us up to date as to what our bundle of joy was doing in his training.

We got Jax from Chips Labs last week and love him! He has the greatest temperament we have see in a pup! Jax is... extremely smart, calm, affectionate, and loves to be with his family. Cindy has been invaluable with her training advice and has continued to be helpful after we brought him home. I spent days researching and calling different breeders before deciding on Chips Labs and couldn't be happier with my decision. (The 6.5 hour drive to her home was absolutely worth it!) Cindy really knows her dogs and this breed. She is very honest and transparent and even encourages her clients to call the vet with any questions or concerns. We were also impressed with the kennels and living quarters for her labs. She clearly cares about them and ensures that they are comfortable and safe. Jax does very well both inside and outside of the home. He plays nicely with other dogs, learned overnight not to chase the cats, has wonderful puppy manners and is completely crate-trained. He has already brought immense happiness and laughter to our home. Thank you Cindy and Chips Labs from the bottom of our hearts!read more

We adopted our girl Daisy from Chips Labs. She is wonderful and has a great temperament. Cindy was so helpful in... training Daisy and working with us even after we got home. Cindy did a great job in matching us with Daisy, and provided many helpful training tips. Daisy is in wonderful health, and has a lovely calm temperament that is great in the home. At five months, she has done really well with some active playtime in the morning, potty breaks in the afternoon, and a walk and playtime in the evening. Otherwise, she rests quietly at home while we're working. Thanks Chips Labs! We couldn't be happier.read more

We are so happy we found Chips Labs, we got Bluebell (formerly Bambi), chocolate lab, from Cindy. Bluebell is 4 months,... we’ve had her about 2 months. She is super healthy, great temperament, wants to meet every person and dog we come across. She was started and did amazing in crate right away, knew a few commands and was easy to train on others. She’s only had a couple accidents in the house, which were mostly our fault...never pooped in crate or house. She’s great with our 16 & 10 year old. It was a long ride but worth it. It is very pretty in southwest Virginia.read more

We went to pick up our new puppy "Chico" (formerly Cloud) from Cindy on Mother's Day. Chico was trained and started and... had three sets of vaccinations. He has such as sweet temperment, is playful, very responsive with training and gets along with everyone! He was amazing on the 6 hour car ride back home (slept most of the way) and was friendly to people he met at the rest stops. He also does great sleeping through the night in his crate as he is 4 months old. Cindy was so caring and responsive as we communicated for a month before we got Chico and continued to communicate after we brought him home. She goes over everything with you and answers all of your questions. She even sent us photos and videos during the month prior and also took him on some outings once he had his vaccinations. I was even able to speak to another person who bought home a lab from the same litter previously from Cindy as a reference and the vet Cindy uses. We highly recommend Cindy and any of her pups would be a wonderful addition to your family!read more

So happy with our choice in choosing Chips Labs for our little girls first puppy. He is everything and more. I’m so... excited to watch them grow together and become best buddy’s. They don’t let u leave with the puppy until you are educated about the Lab breed and so much information on their behavior and how to correct the bad in a very humane and loving way!

dealing with Cindy at Chips Labs was so great. Our new addition Millie, one of Pearl's pups, is so sweet and well... adjusted already. It was so worth the 6 hour drive (one way).

We have only had Remy 2 days, she is calm, loving and a wonderful addition to our family. She was trained by Cindy and she was 3 1/2 months when we got her. She sleeps through the night, knows to go outside, can sit and retrieve balls. We are so happy with chips labs and would not hesitate to get another one from her. Thank you Cindy!!!read more

We have had our Riley girl for about 2 weeks now. She is so smart and so good with our kids, ages 3 and 9. Cindy was... amazing throughout the entire experience. We live local and were able to take the kids to meet the puppies. Once we had our Riley girl picked out, Cindy let us, actually encouraged us, to come by weekly to visit. Riley was trained and started. She came to us crate trained, knowing how to come, how to sit, and she knew her name. We have an older lab and she has done so well with her. I could not have asked for a better puppy for our family. So thankful for our new family member!read more

We recently adopted 2 puppies from Chips Labs. Luna, and Aurora. Mother- Pearl, Sire-Hime. We lost a yellow lab in June... and were heartbroken. We went to chose 1 puppy, but couldn’t decide because they were all adorable. Cindy kept us updated with pictures and texts when our puppies were born. We felt as though we got to watch our puppies grow from the beginning.
Cindy truly cares about her puppies. She wants to ensure that her puppies go to loving homes. If she doesn’t think they will, she won’t sell you a puppy. That impressed me. Not many breeders are like this. She also told me I could call her 24/7 with any concerns. How many dog breeders do this? None, I’ve ever met, except Cindy.
I would definitely recommend Chips Labs. 5 stars.read more

We love Chips Labs. Cindy is honest with you about her puppies. She’s not trying to sell you a puppy, she’s helping... you pick out a new member of your family.
She answered all of our questions. She kept us informed about how the puppies were doing. When the time came to pick out our new family member, she helped us every step of the way.
We picked out two new family members. Cindy was reluctant at first. What dog breeder wouldn’t want to sell two puppies? She wasn’t thinking about that at all. She was looking out for our welfare, as well as her puppies.
Well, we convinced her, and now we have two new family members. She still checks on us, and still is answering our questions.
Thank you Cindy for all you’ve done for us, and all you do for so many families everywhere. You couldn’t ask for a better breeder anywhere.read more

We got out Nala from Chips- we could not have gotten a more mild-tempered dog. She’s kind, smart and beautiful! She... was the last in the litter, and Cindy kept for training. She does great in her crate and was sleeping atleast 5 hours a night when she first came home at 11 weeks. At 16 weeks she sleeps atleast 7 hours and goes to her crate when she wants a time-out from the kids, or time for her naps �
Cindy was awesome for giving lots of information upfront on her, her dogs, vet and thoughts on our families decision. We had a rescue who had bit my daughter and we were very cautious about our next steps. She listened to my concerns and with the ages of my 3 young children we were very lucky to get an older puppy that was into a training program. A trained puppy is not going to be fully trained-it’s a puppy still; but this dog was leaps and bounds ahead of other puppies friends had gotten.
Potty training has been pretty good. Having the help of Cindy start the process was awesome! We followed her lead and praised her and incentive her with treats. She now goes to the door when she needs to go outside.
I am lucky to have a dog-friendly office, and take Nala to work atleast once a week, after she was cleared with her vaccines. Everyone comments how calm and kind she is. And she eats it up, and let’s everyone rub her belly!
We were very blessed to get our Nala and would highly recommend Chips Labs!!read more

Alec and I got our Lady (then Candy) from Jewel's babies just about a month ago. Cindy sent us updates regularly before... picking her up and also checked in on her for a week after we took her. She's a beautiful, happy dog and we do love her to pieces! She has a great temperament despite normal puppy behavior.
However, we spent a pretty penny on her and even paid the extra money to be trained and started- and while she does like her crate, that is all we can really say for the trained part. There is only so much a puppy of 2 1/2 months can learn...She did have her first two rounds of shots and dewormer, (which is included in the trained and started price) however when we took her to the vet she ended up having worms anyway and had to get medication. On top of that, she also has puppy vaginitis, which we were told was pretty normal for female puppies but I am sure you can imagine after spending so much money upfront & paying more for treatment after the fact- isn't ideal.
Ultimately, we do love her, she's a beautiful dog, and we are very happy she's part of the family. I am sure she'll grow up to be one of the best- we just felt a little taken advantage of on the money side and didn't feel we got exactly what we paid for. Our intention is not to bash chip labs, but we felt it warranted a fair and honest review for other buyers to come.
**Chips Labs contacted us immediately upon our review to offer to pay our vet bills to alleviate that burden, we appreciate their diligence in trying to do what is right by their customers**read more
