Ivy Leash Labradors

Ivy Leash Labradors, Labrador retrievers, Madison, IN, is a family-run breeder in Jefferson County and the Ohio River Valley near Cincinnati. The kennel has been active for several years and follows national breed club standards for health testing, including hip and eye screenings.

Puppies spend their first weeks in the living room encountering household noises, children and gentle stimulation, then move at eight weeks to supervised play sessions in a secure outdoor run and begin basic leash introduction. All dogs receive regular veterinary checkups and a balanced diet of premium kibble supplemented by fresh vegetables. Litter sizes are kept moderate so each puppy benefits from focused care and socialization.

Beth Johnson documents each puppy’s progress in a digital health record that families can review, and many owners note the pups’ gentle nature alongside the transparency of these updates. The breeder’s long-term focus on well-being helps support pups as they adjust to their new homes.
