Bark N Howl Farm

Bark N Howl Farm, Labrador retriever, Waco, KY, is located in Mercer County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. James Owens has been working with Labrador retrievers for several years and maintains membership in national breeder associations, ensuring health and temperament standards. All breeding dogs undergo standard health screenings for hips and elbows and live in a family-focused setting with daily socialization and open-air runs.

Puppies grow up indoors and outdoors on a small farm, acclimatized to household life and rural surroundings. Past litters have received positive feedback for their calm demeanor and adaptability. The farm’s approach balances traditional husbandry with individualized care to support each dog’s long-term well-being.

Whelping areas are cleaned and monitored daily, and puppies receive early neurological stimulation to support healthy development. James Owens shares health records and offers guidance on socialization to new owners, ensuring a smooth transition into family life.
