At NorwellLabs.com, we proudly offer Labrador Retriever puppies from an exceptional AKC Champion Pedigree Bloodline.

The puppies from Lucy’s first and second litters are the ones you see here, and they both are the offspring of Endless Mt’s Sir Leonardo the Loyal “Leo” (AKC SS30032902), born on 9/30/21 and sired by GCH CH Moonlit’s Endless Mt Romeo from Pennsylvania at emlabradors.com/meet-leo, and our dam Magnificent Lucille of Simon Hill Benyosef “Lucy” (AKC SS26900107), born on 6/4/21 in Massachusetts. Lucy’s first litter in Summer 2024 originally included eight puppies, and her second litter in Summer 2026 included seven puppies. Many photos of these seven puppies are under “Lucy’s 2nd Litter 2026” on ben-yosef.com.

Betsy, Lucy’s daughter, is planning on a new litter in Summer 2027.

Lucy has passed health screenings with excellent or good results, and Betsy is going through testing now to be ready by Summer 2027. Tests include Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) Final Hips & Elbows, Advanced Cardiac Evaluations, and CERF/CAER eye exams. The DNA tests Betsy will have include Exercise-Induced Collapse (EIC), Dilute Coat Color (D-locus), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration (prcd-PRA), Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis (HNPK), and Degenerative Myelopathy (DM).

We entrusted Dr. Kathy Sneider, VMD, of Blue Ribbon Veterinary Service in Pembroke, MA, to handle Lucy’s prenatal care, ensuring she was well-prepared for motherhood. You can see her site at www.aquariuslabradors.com. Dr. Sneider is also taking care of Betsy.

Each puppy is vaccinated, dewormed, and comes with a free PetLink.net microchip. Instructions will be provided to transfer the microchip registration to your name. Lucy’s microchip number is 981020043116312, and Betsy’s is 981020045043155.

Pick-up is available in person in Norwell, MA — and we can’t wait for you to meet these amazing pups!

About the Breeder

I am Gabriel Ben-Yosef, a small, home-based breeder of AKC Labrador Retrievers. I personally care for every litter from birth until the puppies go home, and my focus is on raising healthy, well-socialized dogs that make wonderful family companions. To date, I have personally raised two litters from my foundation female, Lucy, who had eight puppies in the first litter and seven in the second. The experience reinforced my commitment to raising puppies carefully and responsibly in a home environment where they receive daily interaction, handling, and early socialization.

Because this is a small, family-based program, I typically plan for only one litter at a time and generally expect to breed one litter per year. For 2026, Lucy’s planned litter will be the only litter I produce. I prefer to keep things small so that each puppy receives plenty of attention and early developmental care during the crucial first eight weeks of life.

My goal is always to prioritize the long-term health and well-being of the mother dogs. Assuming good health, each female will typically have a limited number of litters — generally two or three — before retiring from breeding and remaining a beloved member of the family. I believe strongly that breeding dogs should live full, happy lives as companions first and foremost.

All of my dogs receive regular veterinary care, routine vaccinations, and ongoing health monitoring. Puppies are raised with careful attention to cleanliness, nutrition, and early development. They are examined by a veterinarian before going to their new homes and receive appropriate early vaccinations according to veterinary guidelines.

When puppies go home, I recommend keeping their diet consistent for the first few weeks to avoid digestive upset. A high-quality puppy food is important during this rapid growth stage. Many families use reputable brands of kibble, which can certainly work well, though I’m always happy to discuss other high-quality puppy diets if owners prefer. What matters most is a nutritionally complete puppy formula and consistency during the transition period.

Training is something I strongly encourage for all new puppy owners. Early puppy classes help establish good habits and strengthen the bond between dog and family. Basic obedience — commands such as sit, stay, and recall — is more than enough for most families, and structured classes are extremely helpful, especially for first- or second-time owners. I’m always happy to recommend reputable local trainers or puppy kindergarten programs that focus on positive reinforcement methods.

When it comes to choosing a puppy, I work collaboratively with families to help make the best match. I spend many weeks observing the puppies’ personalities, energy levels, and temperaments, which helps me guide families toward the puppy that is most likely to thrive in their particular household. While families certainly have input, I generally help direct the final match so that each puppy ends up in the environment best suited to its temperament.

All puppies are placed with a written contract that outlines the responsibilities of both the breeder and the new owner. The contract covers health guarantees, care expectations, and my ongoing commitment to the lifetime well-being of the dog.
