Black Lab Breeders
We are Black Lab breeders. Bill and
Debbie Hartzer have been breeding AKC Hunting-Quality Black Labs for many years now. Take a look around this website to learn more about the
black labs and see if we have any puppies available. We are located in
the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas. If you are not in the Texas area, contact
us to see if we can find a black lab puppy breeder near you. Or, take a look at the list below to

Excerpt from the Labrador Retriever Standard
from the AKC: "Hindquarters
The Labrador's hindquarters are broad, muscular and well-developed from the hip
to the hock with well-turned stifles and strong short hocks. Viewed from the
rear, the hind legs are straight and parallel. Viewed from the side, the
angulation of the rear legs is in balance with the front. The hind legs are
strongly boned, muscled with moderate angulation at the stifle, and powerful,
clearly defined thighs. The stifle is strong and there is no slippage of the
patellae while in motion or when standing. The hock joints are strong, well let
down and do not slip or hyper-extend while in motion or when standing.
Angulation of both stifle and hock joint is such as to achieve the optimal
balance of drive and traction. When standing the rear toes are only slightly
behind the point of the rump. Over angulation produces a sloping topline not
typical of the breed. Feet are strong and compact, with well-arched toes and
well-developed pads. Cow-hocks, spread hocks, sickle hocks and over-angulation
are serious structural defects and are to be faulted. "
