Next litter expected from Charlie in Summer of 2026.
Our dams and sires have the highest genetic standards and certifications. When purchasing one of our Labradors, you get the healthiest puppy possible, free from inherited conditions and we GUARANTEE it! Whether you are looking for a hunting dog, show dog, service animal, or a faithful companion, our versatile Red Fox Labs will be a wonderful addition to your loving family.
Our sires and dams are AKC registered, at least two years old and genetically screened for more than 20 hereditary disorders that can impact Labradors including their eyes and hips. That means you get the healthiest puppy possible from day one.
Puppies receive top-quality veterinary care from our Colorado licensed partners. Each pup is thoroughly examined, dewormed, and vaccinated before leaving our kennel. Less to worry about when taking your new pup home.
Your dog gets a head start in life. We expose them to crate training, toy retrieval, car rides, water play, potty training, basic manners, and socialization with other animals. All these activities will help your puppy adapt to your home quickly.
On our lovely 2-acre ranch in western Colorado, we pour our hearts into breeding premium-quality Red Fox Labrador puppies with a championship heritage and the best genetic traits.
Our goal is to provide you with a happy, healthy puppy, free from hereditary conditions, so you can enjoy many wonderful years together. Plus, we give our furry friends an early start on potty and crate training to make their transition to your family as smooth as possible.
We promise to keep in touch after the purchase to answer any questions and support your family in every way we can!
You can't buy love. But you can buy a Labrador Retriever, which is essentially the same thing.
Experience was amazing...

Blessed we found them...
We had been searching a long time to find a trustworthy and reputable breeder. Kerri and Joel were fantastic during the whole process.

Get your next pup here...
The entire process with MRFL has been a blessing. The only downside is everyone stopping to tell us what a beautiful dog we have!
Jason Z. – Arvada, Colorado
An incredible experience...
From the very beginning Kerri and Joel were there to answer questions and walk us through the entire process. I can really tell they love doing this.

The best big brother ever...
We couldn't be happier with our Labrador and this breeder. He has been an awesome addition to our family and just LOVES our little boy.

Yes, there is no formal naming standard for this color of Labrador so you are likely to see both terms used when describing these dogs. You may also see advertisements for a ‘fox red pointing lab’ and it is the same dog. The Labrador is a versatile breed and all Labradors, no matter what color, can be trained as hunting companions to point.
Yes they can! Although the AKC does not recognize “red” as an official color for the Labrador breed, Red Fox Labs are registered as “yellow” and can be fully certified for field trials, competition and breeding. Red Labs are actually a deep, dark yellow that appears red. This is similar to “white” Labradors which are a pale yellow, registered as yellow, but appear white.
No, this is a common myth and Internet tall tale. The Red Fox Labrador breed is 100% canine and has no relationship to the red fox. Its red coat is strikingly similar in color to the red fox and is probably where the name came from, but nobody knows for sure. This Labrador color originated in Canada during the late 1800’s in a camp off the Atlantic coast. The color is a product of careful breeding between black and yellow labs to achieve the red appearance.
Many factors contribute to the adult size of a dog including genetics, diet and exercise. On average, female Red Fox Labs range from 55-70lbs and males are a bit larger and muscular from 65-85lbs. Genetics are a major contributor to the final size of a dog. Based on our experience, pups will be within 10% of their parents body weight when they are full grown.
We have decided not to ship our puppies as “cargo” with the major airlines. The carriers have instituted a number of restrictions on shipping live animals and it has become very cost / time prohibitive for us. In addition, air travel in the baggage compartment of a plane is EXTREMELY stressful for the dogs. We feel it’s in the best interest of our clients and the puppies not to transport them as cargo at this time. This may change in the future and we will evaluate air shipping options annually. That said, we have very flexible delivery options and have sold puppies accross the United States.
Updated for 2024: Previously we had removed the dewclaws from all of our pups. However, recent veterinary research has shown that dewclaws are beneficial to leave intact for large breed dogs. Therefore, for any of our litters whelped after 1/1/2024, we will NOT be removing the dewclaws. For more information, see our article: Dewclaw Removal – The Great Debate for Labradors.
We understand life happens. Your $500 deposit is fully refundable until the puppies are born and you have electronically signed your Puppy Agreement. At that point, we have reserved a puppy for you and have most likely turned away other potential buyers. If you are unable to take your puppy, and it occasionally happens, the initial deposit is non-refundable because of costs we will incur to find the pup a new home. You may roll your deposit to the next litter in case your circumstances change in the future but this will only be allowed one time.
