Kona

My pup Kona is by far the best Lab I have ever had. 

 I am a protection dog trainer and Malinois breeder. It is very seldom that one sees a Lab with the level of prey drive that a well-bred Malinois has. Kona has that level of prey drive. I believe he thinks he is a Malinois some days.  

Kona has the drive and willingness to work, that I like to see in a pup. 

When Lisa told me I could have one of Java's pups I was very pleased, I know they are hard to come by. Kona exceeded my expectations of him.

He is a fun dog too, always the class clown. He loves the water, when he was small enough he would get into a 5 gal. bucket to cool off.

Some of my cop friends wanted to know where I got such a good Lab. Cops like Labs, but Labs like Kona are very hard to find! 

Thank you,

Abbie

Dear Lisa, 

Well, almost eight months has past since Java's litter was born, and 6 months since we received Abbie from you. 

I have to say it has been an awesome 6 months at that.  She was such a fun and smart pup right from the start.  She has NO fear whatsoever. 

It is so neat watching her pass her milestones and getting her bonded with Mikey for the eventual service work that she will be doing with him. 

This is a pup that is always on the go and eager to play and learn.  She learns fast too.  Mikey will go up and crawl on her and fall asleep and she is happy to just lay there.  Now do remember that this is one of your 8-month-old puppies that I am talking about.   My gosh, I never would have expected such good results so soon. I thought that most pups would be nervous when being crawled on by a 60 lb. child.  She just sleeps through it. 

Now when Steven (my 13 year old) plays, she plays in full force.  She just seems to be able to tell the difference.  She would never jump on Mikey, but will jump and play with Steve all the time. 

Lisa, I have to say that your pups amaze me.  Abbie is a multi faceted pup, and could be trained in many capacities.  Anyone with training experience could see in a minute what potential she has.   

Deb's (my neighbour who got Abbie’s brother)  pup is equally as smart and gentle and fun loving. 

You had quite the litter my dear. 

I wish I had the space to take more of them. 

I wanted to write this to update.

Lisa, I can't thank you enough for Abbie.  She will be an awesome Service Dog.  I think you will be very impressed with her the next time you see her.

Take care, and good luck with this next litter.

Kona

Where do we begin to share what the past 11 months have been like with Mocha? She came to live with us at seven weeks of age. It was May 17th the first long week-end of the summer, and just five weeks before our wedding. Looking back now things where a little more than crazy, but we got through it and have not one regret today.

Mocha has truly been a wonderful addition to our family. We could not have asked for a kinder, good natured and well adjusted dog. She is calm, gentle, friendly (a little too friendly sometimes). She loves being around people (social butterfly) she especially loves children. She likes to play with her numerous toys, especially the squeaky ones and enjoys long walks in the bush.

We often find ourselves amazed at her quick ability to learn, and her eagerness to perform the tasks that have been asked of her. We would like to thank you for this wonderful opportunity and allowing us the pleasure of rising one of your puppies.

We truly have been blessed. Thank you, 

Matt & Nicole Matthews

Noah

There are not enough words to express how good this pup is.

Noah is such a beautiful dog all around. He has great temperament, is very responsive to praise and willing to learn and adapt in all sorts of situations. He is a joy to be with. He is very observant and often literally sits and watches how the older dogs do tasks and later tries them himself.

Noah came to us practically toilet trained already. Had no difficulty adapting to the new family. He had already received a great deal of stimulation at a younger age that has made him very comfortable and adaptable.

He has no fear of loud noises, vacuum cleaners, walks over several types of grounds with ease all due to the early hard work form his breeder.

Noah keeps us all smiling with his playfulness. Gets along well with other dogs, cats, children, people of all ages and sizes and I would not change him for anything. Every day our bond grows stronger.

All I have to say is THANK YOU, Lisa.

Natural Bond Labradors really knows what they do and they truly do it right.

Sincerely,

The Brazier Family

Justus

We just wanted to fill you in on how our puppy is doing. First of all, we named her Justus. She has been nothing but a pleasure and a massive sense of enjoyement for both Matt and myself. Matt has taught her to do some amazing tricks and she has so far turned into a great little dog. The commands/tricks that she is very familiar with are sit, down, roll over, leave it, drop it, play dead, high five, shake a paw, jump, pray, crawl, and the list goes on. She loves to play, run, swim, and is really great around all other animals and people. She is loved by everybody and always takes the center of attention. There has been no real problems whatsover with owning Justus. She was completely house trained in only a couple days, and she has never really given us any grief (apart from chewing our stuff).

It doesn't seem to matter what we do to her crate....she always seems to find a way to get out...and in turn...chew some shoes/hats/paper/etc. Just minor things. We actually had to put a pad lock on the crate to ensure that she wouldn't get out. It was quite comical.

We want to pass on our appreciation towards you for allowing us the opportunity to have such a great pet/friend. Attached you will find a couple of pictures of Justus that were just taken that we feel are cute.

Thanks Lisa, Justus is an amazing dog!!

Respectfully,
Matt and Haley


Madison

Hi Lisa,

Just wanted to write to let you know how Madison is doing. She is such a beautiful, smart affectionate dog.

We could not have asked for anything better. Everywhere we go with her, people want to steal her away and ask where we got her. Her favorite things are 1- Beating up Jake (our other Lab), 2- Beating up the cat, 3- swimming in her pool.

I've never seen a dog take to water like that. Her little face makes me happy every time I see her.

Thank you so much for allowing us to be her Mom and Dad.

She is very spoiled and loves every minute of it. Here are some pictures so you can see what a beautiful girl she is.

Sincerely

Patricia and Glen
