Viklan Labradors

Viklan Labradors has been raising English-style Labrador retrievers in West Chester, Pennsylvania since 2002, with owner Deven Garvey building a program that spans training, showing, and breeding. West Chester sits in Chester County, about 25 miles west of Philadelphia, placing the kennel in one of southeastern Pennsylvania's most established dog-sport communities.

The program focuses on producing all-purpose Labrador retrievers, and dogs from the kennel have worked across a broad range of roles — including AKC sporting events, conformation, hunting, narcotics detection, and service work. All adults are registered with the AKC, and Viklan Labradors holds membership in the AKC Bred with Heart program.

Health testing is a core part of the breeding approach. Hips and elbows are evaluated through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), and DNA screening is conducted to address genetic disorders known to affect the breed. Dogs live in the home rather than in a kennel setting, and puppies are born and raised indoors. Those seeking Labrador retriever puppies in Pennsylvania from a program with a multi-decade track record will find that Viklan's combination of health testing, versatile working dogs, and a no-return policy — they will take any dog back for life, no questions asked — reflects a long-term commitment to each dog placed.
