Shadowmyst Labradors

Shadowmyst Labradors, Labrador retrievers in Oskaloosa, IA, serves Mahaska County and Southeastern Iowa near Des Moines. Owned by Julie A Mcvay, the kennel applies consistent health testing and follows guidelines set by national breed clubs.

Mcvay began breeding Labrador retrievers in 2010, drawing on her training in canine behavior. All adult dogs undergo annual veterinary exams and genetic screening to support healthy litters. Their adult retrievers enjoy daily exercise on a five-acre property, which helps maintain strong muscles and balanced temperaments.

Puppies are raised in a home setting with regular handling and exposure to household sounds and activities, including supervised play with children and other pets. Many graduates join families as companions and some participate in canine therapy visits around Oskaloosa and beyond. Shadowmyst Labradors provides ongoing support for puppy households, sharing insights on nutrition, training, and health for lasting bonds.
