Retired Dogs

Stella

Doerner’s Stunning Stella is no longer with us. We lost her earlier this year. She was my best girl. She took care of other litters. She wanted to play with all the puppies. She was friends with all of the adults whether they wanted to be her friend or not. We were very lucky to have her for the short time that we did. She was loved and is missed so much.

Lucy Lu

This was Lucy Lu Doerner. She was our first female lab. We lost her in July 2023. It was a hard loss. We loved her very much and miss her every day. Star is her daughter and reminds me of her so much. Her mother was an American Lab while her father was a great, big stocky English lab. She had two litters of pups with Cooper and one litter with Bentley. She was a very laid back, fun lab. She never met a stranger. She loved everyone. The UPS or Fed Ex truck pulled up, and she jumped in, ready to go. She liked to play for a short time, but then she wanted her belly rubbed. She weighed 94 pounds. Lucy had a champion in her bloodline. Her hips were rated Excellent by the OFA, and she was been genetically cleared of EIC, PRA, and CNM.

Meet "Cooper"

(Cooper Thomas Doerner)

This is Cooper Thomas Doerner “Cooper”. He is our silver lab. We brought him home in 2014. He and Lucy have produced 2 amazing litters of puppies. He's had a few other litters with other ladies but is now retired. Although he thinks he should not be retired! LOL He is a great retriever. He will chase the ball for hours. He’s friendly to everyone who knows his name. He smiles because he’s so happy. He is Gunner's daddy. Cooper has field champion, junior hunter, and champions in his line. He weights 86 pounds. He is genetically clear of EIC, PRA, and CNM. He also has Fair rated hips by the OFA.

Meet "Stormy"

(Doerner’s Midnight Storm)

This is Doerner’s Midnight Storm. “Stormy” (we call her our Munchkin though) is a great dog! She’s such a smart dog. She has quickly learned to sit, shake (both paws), lie, and roll over. We got her from Patoka River Labs. She is a charcoal lab. She is our smallest girl. She is a great addition to our family. When she wants to play, she will find her bear or pig and bring it to us! She carries all colors and the tan point gene. She is Embark clear. She weighs 65 pounds. She loves the other dogs. We are so glad to have her.
