Kelly Nichols

Kelly Nichols raises Labrador retrievers in Kingfield, ME, on open family acreage in Franklin County and New England near Portland. Kelly Nichols follows guidelines from national breed clubs and health testing protocols for hips, elbows, eyes, cardiac function and genetic screening with eye exams by a board certified ophthalmologist.

Every puppy grows up in a family home on rolling pastures with early socialization around children and other animals. The dogs live indoors at night and enjoy supervised play outdoors during the day. They receive a balanced diet of premium kibble and seasonal fruits and vegetables along with routine veterinary health checks.

Early basic training sessions introduce crate familiarity and gentle handling to support calm temperaments. Several puppies have joined families training for therapy work or local field events. Kelly Nichols values open communication and provides follow up guidance as each Labrador retriever settles into its new home.
