Responsible dog breeder.

I have been a dog obedience instructor in the 4-H Dog Program and for Copeland's Dog
Obedience 101 for over 21 years. I am an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, Farm
Dog Certified Judge, Temperament Testing Judge and an evaluator for Bright and
Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I have worked with hundreds of dogs in that time period. I am
always excited to hear that I will be having a Labrador Retriever puppy coming to one of
my obedience classes that was raised by Beth Johnson of Ivy Leash Labradors. I know
the puppy will be well socialized, bold, biddable, healthy (mentally and physically), ready
for anything life throws at it and a beautiful representative of the Labrador Retriever
breed. Beth raises all her puppies using the Puppy Culture system. She exposes them to
as many sights, surface textures, sounds, and toys as she can think of as soon as they are
born. This leads to happy, confident puppies that adjust well to their new homes. Beth
has spent many hours attending different obedience classes with different teachers and
has relationships with many different well-known Labrador breeders. Beth has
researched common and not so common canine diseases and does extensive health
testing with all of her breeding dogs to make sure she is raising the healthiest puppies
possible. Beth shows her Labradors in AKC Obedience, Rally, Gun Dog, Scentwork and
Conformation. Her son also shows them in 4-H at the County and State levels. Her Labs
have earned many titles and placings when they are shown, along with earning the best
and most important title of being priceless Family Members. Beth is the epitome of a

Responsible Dog Breeder as her dogs are happy, healthy and each is treated as a valued
family member. She has many of her dogs certified as Therapy Dogs and visits nursing
homes, schools, libraries and other events bringing joy to many others. Her goal is for
her Labradors to bring as much joy to others as they have brought to her own family. I
give my highest recommendation to Ivy Leash Labradors. You will not be disappointed!
