R&V Kennels, LLC, Labrador retrievers, Kenly, NC, is based in Johnston County and the Research Triangle near Raleigh. Richard Mccullough has been breeding Labrador retrievers for over a decade and follows health screening protocols recommended by national breed clubs. The kennel partners with a local veterinary clinic for routine care, vaccinations and preventive medicine. All adult dogs live indoors as part of the family and litters are handled daily to encourage early social development. Indoor whelping areas are temperature controlled and cleaned daily to ensure a healthy environment.

The breeding program emphasizes sound structure, stable temperaments and a versatile aptitude for families, hunting partners and working roles. Litters are raised on a rural property with secure exercise areas, supervised introductions to various sights and sounds, and early exposure to basic training. Prospective owners mention clear communication and ongoing support from the kennel, reflecting consistent attention to each puppy’s well-being.
