Matagorda Labs

Matagorda Labs is a Labrador retriever breeder in Matagorda, TX, serving the Gulf Coast region near Houston. Jo Sutton has dedicated more than a decade to responsible breeding, and all adult dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club. Puppies are health-screened for common issues such as hip and elbow dysplasia and undergo eye examinations before placement.

Each litter is raised in a home environment on a coastal property, with daily interaction alongside family members and routine exposure to local sights and sounds. Early socialization with children, mild leash training, and positive experiences set the foundation for well-adjusted companions.

Lineages are selected for gentle temperaments and reliable retrieving instincts, reflecting a balance of working ability and family-friendly nature. Owners often note the calm demeanor of their Lab pups as they adapt to new homes. Puppies come with comprehensive health records and ongoing support from Jo Sutton.
