About Wyndance
Wyndance Labrador Retrievers is a CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) approved, small-scale, high-quality in-home breeding program located in Oakridges, Ontario, just 45 minutes north of Metropolitan Toronto. Our email address is: wyndancelabs@gmail.com .
After 31 years of owning Labrador Retrievers, I decided that it was time to live out my childhood dream of not only owning labs, but also showing and breeding them. And so, in 2016, I began this incredible journey by reaching out to longstanding reputable breeder and conformation judge Joanne Fernall at Devonsleigh Kennels (www.devonsleigh.com) and purchased Wyndance’s foundation breeding female: GCh Devonsleigh's Black Charm
Our plan is to selectively breed for 1- 3 litters per year and add new members to the Wyndance Labs fur family as we produce our own or source healthy, high-quality pups that qualify to expand our breeding program over time.
Please scroll down to see our breeding girls, review their pedigrees, the health clearances that we undertake and if we have an upcoming litter that you might be interested in.
My singular goal is to produce Labrador Retrievers, bred to the breed standard for folks who may simply wish to own a fantastic family pet and/or who may want to participate in Conformation, Obedience, Agility, Hunting or Tracking activities alongside the people that they love and who care for them.

And finally, for those of you who are "not looking for a show dog" and are just considering buying a Labrador as a family pet, the attached document to the right here is for you...

Health Clearances
Each of our breeding/upcoming breeding females have been tested by the DDC Veterinary DNA Technology Park in Fairfield, Ohio, receiving DNA clearances for the Labrador Retriever panel of genetic disorders.
When each of them reach two (2) years of age, we have x-rays taken and submitted to the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) to ascertain dysplasia clearances for their hips and elbows, as well as heart clearances by both auscultation and heart echocardiograms. Their eyes are cleared by a board certified canine ophthalmologist as puppies and then every 2 yrs. Only upon receiving their clearances, are the dogs put into our breeding program.

Name: GCh. Devonsleigh's Black Charm (Charm)
DOB: October 13, 2015
Sire: Ch Sunnydaze Walk The Line
Dam: Devonsleigh's Chocolate Peanut
2018's Best Brood Bitch (LRCC/ALRC) Charm is super smart, fun girl, all wrapped up in a beautifully structured great moving package. She is Wyndance's 1st & foundation breeding female and is producing some lovely pups.
Charm achieved her conformation Championship and Grand Championship titles with limited showings by the time she was 22 mths old and took Best Brood Bitch honours (with 2 of her progeny) at the 2018 ALRC & LRCC Nationals and 2019 Labrador Owners Club Specialty Show. She is well behaved wherever we go, loves to play with her people/her toys and is excellent with children, other dogs and cats.
Charm comes from wonderfully accomplished multigenerational lines of Labradors in Canada (Devonsleigh) and US (Sunnydaze) including Best in Show (conformation), High In Trial (Obedience) and Retriever Trial (Field) dogs. She carries all 3 color genes so depending on the color genetics of the male stud dog(s) we use, she has the ability to produce black, yellow & chocolate puppies.

Important Message To Interested/Prospective Wyndance Labrador Retriever Puppy Owners:
Wyndance lab pups are raised using Puppy Culture socialization and training methods. Before going to their new families at 8-12 weeks of age, Wyndance Labrador puppies are collar/leash oriented, can go up and down stairs, are crate trained for bedtimes ( typically 11pm-btwn 4-5 am), they can perform a sit and lay down with treats, they have bite inhibition "No Bite (nipping) training from the time they turn 3 weeks and start to get their little razor like teeth and they understand Leave It! when they pick up something that they shouldn't as well.
When considering getting a puppy you need to have a Baby Puppy Care Plan as they can only be crated for 1 hour per month of age before they need to be toileted and have 30-40 mins of simple playtime (that is not exercise).This is a key consideration that will need to be satisfactorily addressed in order to become an Approved To Purchase individual or family.
If you are interested in purchasing a Wyndance Labrador Retriever puppy , it is highly recommended that you place yourself on our Litter Wait List. Simply send me a request for our Puppy Application Form via email and/or give me a call.

A written health warranty will be provided for each puppy’s first two years from hereditary defects and for which we have tests to clear them. We require all buyers to sign our contract which includes a specific
