Our Story

Caper Fear Labradors is a family-owned and operated kennel that produces many outstanding litters a year. When you come to us for a puppy, there is a high potential of our finding a litter that will fill your wishlist in a timely manner. We aim to listen to your needs and focus you on pups that are likely to be a great fit for your family. We produce Labrador Retrievers with well-balanced and highly personable dispositions that make terrific companions and house dogs. At the same time, many of our dogs offer a pedigrees boasting of natural hunting instincts that allow them to excel in the pheasant field and duck blind, as well. We are located in Broadway NC, just 30 miles south of Raleigh. We’re in the heart of the Triangle!
What sets us apart from other breeders?
We strive to produce dogs with the following six traits: 1) superior intelligence, 2) terrific personalities, 3) outstanding hunting desire, 4) natural pointing instinct, 5) superb looks, and 6) proven pedigrees.
We want these dogs to be welcome in your home as companions, in your duck blind as a retrieving machine, or at the hunt test or field trial as a competitor.
We hunt over many of our dogs, and choose to use our Labs in both upland and waterfowling situations.
We also believe that you hunt with a dog 30-40 days a year (if you are really lucky), but you live with him 365 days a year. So a gentle disposition and good socialization are extremely important to our breeding program.
In our eyes, our dogs are beautiful, but we are not show dog breeders, so looks are not our primary concern. Other hunting dog breeders choose breeding lines without much regard for temperament. Although our dogs possess strong champion hunting pedigrees, we also pride ourselves on breeding for companionship in addition to the hunt drive, and intelligence. We prefer dogs that aren’t bouncing off the walls and we know you do too. We find that, because our dogs are both even-tempered and intelligent, they are easier to train and enjoyable as pets.. We hope you’ll come to the same conclusion when you look over our dogs’ pedigrees and personality descriptions and make your decision regarding adopting a dog or puppy from us.
