Puppy Group Photos

Taking pictures of 11 puppies can be quite a trick!  Some puppies try to walk, some want to sleep and some even stick out their little tongue! We hope you enjoy these group photos of our puppies - almost 3 weeks old!

Eyes are Open!

Our puppies are almost two weeks old and they've changed quite a bit in the past few days! All of the puppies have their eyes open and they are trying to walk around. They still spend most of their time eating and sleeping but have playful moments now that they've had a glimpse of the world around them. Enjoy the pictures!

Puppies Week One . . . Eat, Sleep and Eat some More!

Our new litter of puppies have had a great first week of 2013! Momma Gracie has is doing a great job of caring for her new puppies and we're enjoying watching them sleep, eat and sleep some more. We hope you enjoy this short video with highlights of their first week of life.

Eight Boys and Three Girls!

For most of the evening we helped Gracie welcome healthy, little male puppies into the world . . . seven males until a female was finally born at nearly 6:00 in the morning. When the last puppy was born at 12:20 on New Year's Day the final count was eight male puppies and three females. Here's what we have . . .

Chocolate Male: 5
Chocolate Female: 1

Yellow Male: 3
Yellow Female: 2

Gracie & Maverick - When They Were Puppies!

Some of the families interested in adopting a puppy from Gracie's litter this winter were interested in seeing photos of Gracie and Maverick when they were puppies. Since we don't have new puppy pictures to post yet, we thought it would be fun to share some of these images on our blog. We hope you enjoy these pictures.

We have already received deposits for the following puppies: chocolate male - 2, chocolate female - 2, yellow female - 1.

If you have any questions about our dogs or how to place a deposit for a puppy just let us know!

Expecting Puppies This Winter!

Welcome to our "Top of the Hill Labs" blog - an opportunity for us to share about life with our labs on our farm in Northwest Ohio.

 We are expecting a litter of Labrador Retriever Puppies yet this winter from our chocolate labs - Gracie and Maverick. It's been nearly a year since we've had any puppies and we're so excited to share the news!  And now, to meet the parents . . .



Gracie is our 5-year old chocolate lab. She is expecting her fourth litter of puppies on January 3, 2013 . Gracie is a beautiful lab with a great temperament. She did an amazing job raising her first litters of puppies and we look forward to meeting her litter yet this winter!


The sire of this litter is our chocolate male, Maverick. Maverick is a 2 1/2 year old male with a very mellow temperament. He is a large dog with a thick, brown coat and a blocky head. We can't wait to see the pups we get from this litter

We are currently accepting deposits for puppies. Send us a message at krieger@windstream.net for more details!
