Arthur Herrick

Arthur Herrick is a Labrador retriever breeder in Hartford, Connecticut, serving families across New England. He has been raising smooth-coated retrievers for more than a decade and is a member of the American Kennel Club and the U.S. Retriever Club. All adults hold OFA hip and elbow clearances through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, and puppies undergo a basic veterinary check before going home. Puppies are raised indoors on a balanced diet with daily socialization exercises and gentle introductions to household sounds, children and other pets.

Herrick’s approach emphasizes a calm temperament suitable for family life and therapy settings. His adult dogs live as part of the household, accompany him on local outings, and practice basic obedience twice weekly to maintain focus. He also participates in regional field tests. Many owners appreciate his detailed health records, ongoing guidance and the well-adjusted nature of their new family members.
