Guys, I'm sure you don't remember me but I purchased two pups (Hawk and Kodiak) from your Dixie/Zeus litter back in December of 2010. I just wanted to commend you on the excellent job you do breeding your dogs and raising your pups. My two are the BEST I have ever been around, and I have raised a lot of Labs over my lifetime.


Keep up the good work and I may be looking your way in the future for another GREAT pup.

I purchased Marley from you about 2 years ago. He is the best dog I have ever owned. He is super smart, loads of personality and would rather retrieve than eat. Also, our vet and pretty much everyone who sees him thinks he is the best looking lab they have ever seen.

Wanted to give you an update on Shiner. He is a beautiful dog and everything I hoped he would be. He is about 75 lbs now and still seems to be growing.



He is all adolescent BOY right now and full of boundless energy! I would vouch for your dogs any day, we could not be happier!

Hi!


Thought we would send a little progress pic of May! She's growing so fast and learning so much! We know how to:


Sit

Lay down

Stay

Wait for a treat and not bite off someone's hand

Not potty in the house

Bark when she needs to go out

Run with us on a leash


Thanks again for such a sweet pup! We have referred several friends to you all so hopefully we have some puppy friends in the neighborhood soon!


Hi Chris & Linda: We purchased our wonderful Lacey (red collar) from you in 2009. She was from a litter from Ritz & Lightning. We have been so happy with Lacey we really don’t want to look elsewhere!


Thanks

Hi Chris and Linda,



Tanner was born June 13, 2015 in Dakota’s (and Gunner’s) litter. He has been such a great addition to our family! He is very outgoing, friendly, smart, funny and loves to retrieve. Loves going for walks and truck rides too!


He was a lion for Halloween and Santa for Christmas.


As the saying goes – “He isn’t our whole life, but he makes our lives whole.”


Thanks,

Theopa L. R.

Good morning I just wanted to give you an update on Mia Lynn – she is now 3 ½ years old and doing great!! She’s still as playful and loving as the day we got her. She loves going for runs and playing at the beach – from the time she wakes up till she goes to bed she is running and playing and fetching. She even sleeps with her favorite ball. She has been a great joy to our lives and has brought many wonderful memories and fun – she is so loved and spoiled. We get so many compliments from people about how beautiful she is and how smart she is.



Merry Christmas from Mia in Corpus Christi Texas!!

Hi Chris and Linda,



I just wanted to send you an update on Mara (the chocolate female from the Midnight/Toby litter) now that we've had her for a week. We absolutely love her. She is a gorgeous puppy and she is so sweet and smart. We really appreciate you breeding such a fantastic dog.


I have attached a few pictures of her. It was great to meet you, and I look forward to sending you more updates as she grows.


Best,

Sheri G.

I just wanted to let you all know how wonderful Maggie Poppins ( Maggie) has been. She was born Mar. 2014 from Daisy and Gunnar's litter. She is the quietest lab ever. She loves to watch people, cats , and Ducks. She loves belly rubs and sleeping in closets.


I receive tons of compliments about her. I continue to tell people where I got her and if they are interested y'all are the people to talk to.


She weighs about 65 lbs. Maggie LOVES to ride in the car - she falls asleep in about 2 min.



Thank you so much. She is a true gift ! I've attached some photos so you can see how much she has grown.

Chris and Linda, Hi, my name is Kelly Krieg! My girlfriend, Karissa, and I bought a puppy from you earlier this year. He (Max) was born on Feb. 14th and we picked him up on April 17th. I wanted to update you on how he is doing. Max was the absolutely easiest puppy I have ever house trained...only 3 accidents indoors ever! He is also extremely smart and learned the basic commands (sit, lay down, stay, place and kennel) in no time at all. My intention when we got Max was to train him to assist me with dove and duck hunting. I introduced him to water (a swimming pool) at the end of May and he and I both learned quickly that he LOVES water. The drive he possesses for retrieving also is fantastic. I have started gun training with him and he has done well. I took him dove hunting for the first time last week in East Texas and he was not scared at all by the gun fire. I was also able to introduced Max to his first dove last week and he was completely focused and wanted to do nothing but retrieve that dove. I want to thank you for the outstanding blood lines that you breed. I shopped around for several months prior to deciding to buy from you and I am not regretting it at all. Within the next year, I will probably buy another puppy from you. I have attached a couple of pictures so you can see Max in action from this summer. Thank you once again!

Here is a pic of our daughter and Hoss who will be a year in October. His dad was Cooper I believe... Boy is Hoss an awesome boy! He is gentle and sweet and I think we got lucky with him because he doesn't chew everything up or dig like some labs do as pups! Sincerely,

Krista A.

I just wanted to send a thank you and updated photo of our dog we purchased, it was quite awhile ago Sept 08, I believe it was a Jake and Aspen puppy, anyway he is a great dog, we had one litter with our female before we spayed her and the picture is of all three, Astro, dark choc, the one we purchased, Gunner the yellow is the offspring, and Sophie our female. Astro has been a wonderful replacement for the lab we lost in 07. We are glad that we were able to purchase him, and he is everything I wanted him to be, so thanks for raising such great dogs!

Chris & Linda, It has been a while since I picked Modi up, but I wanted to send some pics to show him off. Making this purchase has been the best thing I have done in a very long time. He is the most admired, loved, and fawned over dog I have seen in a long time. He is very mellow, loves everyone and every dog, and is truly a great companion. As you can see from the picture above, he loves kids and they love him. At 19 weeks old, he has been house trained for nearly two months, sits, shakes, heels, lays down, sits up, retrieves, and generally listens very well. He is extremely smart and only takes one or two short sessions to pick up on what I’m trying to teach him. I am looking forward to his retriever training that I will start in a month or so. I am very, very glad that I chose to go with my gut and get a dog from Molly and Thor’s litter instead of waiting on a chocolate from another litter. Lastly, I did want to dicuss studding possibilities with you in regards to Modi. Once he is well into his training, I will make the decision to stud him or not. I am leaning towards it very heavily, especially since I have had more than a few people tell me they would want one of his puppies if I ever do stud him out. I would really like to stud him at your kennel if you have a good bitch when the time comes that he is mature enough for it. Do you ever do this type of thing? Much thanks,

Randall C.

Hey Chris, We own Ace, a chocolate lab from Sienna and Rocky. Your new puppy Bo is absolutely adorable. They grow up fast! I know, Ace is huge; he is around 90 lbs. and still has a way to grow. Hope to see you guys again soon to add a new addition to our family.

In January of 2007, my husband, Jon Rada and I, Lynn Rada bought a chocolate male lab puppy from you. He was born on November 25, 2006, Jake was the dad and I cannot remember the mom's name. We named him Bear and I just love him to death. Bear is 95 pounds and is just beautiful. He has the sweetest personality and I swear that he tries to talk to you. Also we cannot keep him out of the swimming pool!

I absolutely love my dog from Seven Oaks Kennel, he's the perfect temperament and he's so intelligent. The facilities were kept so clean and everyone has been wonderful to work with. I took the training class with them and I'm amazed at how fast my dog caught on. He is so healthy,he's basically pure muscle. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else to get a puppy from, this is my kennel is my only recommendation when people ask where they can get a dog like mine.

My family and I had purchased a yellow lab back in March, we called him Cooper. Chris was amazing through the process.

Cooper is a very healthy and happy lab. We sent him back to Chris once he was old enough for training and it was the best thing we did. Overall, my experience was fantastic and I definitely recommend!

My family and I have owned 3 labs: Lucy (white), Linus (black), and Charlie (chocolate). Lucy came from a breeder out of state, and Linus and Charlie came from Seven Oaks. We had to put Lucy down in 2021 at 14 after months of declining health. In late 2022, we had to put Linus down unexpectedly at 13. After 14 years of having a dog, we missed the pitter-patter of paws on the floor but didn’t know when the right time would be for another one. We did, however, know that we would be going back to Seven Oaks when the time was right. Just before Christmas, we saw that Lulu and Beau had a male chocolate lab available, and it just so happened that Lulu is related to Jake, who was Linus’s dad. Linus was such a sweet boy with no health issues, so we knew this puppy was meant for us. We picked Charlie up in January, and he’s quickly become an integral member of our family. I’ll be honest: adjusting to a puppy after having old dogs was difficult for us. My kids had never really been around a puppy before, and Charlie viewed them as litter mates. When Charlie was 4 months old, we went on vacation for Spring Break and dropped him off for training with Chris. Two weeks later, we picked him up, and he’s been a completely different dog in the best way. Chris did an amazing job setting a foundation that we’ve been able to build upon. Everyone, including Charlie, is much happier now. He is such a smart, active, friendly, and loving puppy that is growing to become a beautiful dog. We highly recommend Seven Oaks Kennel to anyone searching for a lab. They truly are committed to breeding beautiful dogs that bring joy to their families.

Re-homed 8 month lab from Seven Oaks. She completed obedience training, is crate trained and house broken. She is an amazing dog and her training is constantly on display. While still a puppy she behaves like a full grown dog, which is a reflection on Chris, the owner. He spent considerable time training me on how to work with the pup. Will likely return for another pup in the future.

My Husband and I contacted Chris with a lot of questions about bringing home a puppy into our family. As first time dog owners, Chris really helped us with all our concerns. We felt confident with his service and the Labs he Breeds. We brought home 2 Beautiful Puppies. They are now 7 months old. Sister and Brother Labs, well behaved, quick and easy to train, if I had any questions Chris was quick to reply to my text messages. Chris is very friendly and kind man. We also brought our puppies to be trained with Chris, and wow what a difference our puppies are behaving. They sit, stay, walk with us not pull us, they know we are the boss! :) I highly recommend you to come here if you’re looking to bring home a new puppy into your home.

We got a yellow lab (Rudra) an year ago from seven oaks kennel. We had very positive experience when we visited their kennel to pick up our pup. All healthy dogs clean atmosphere. Well organized. Breeder gave the vaccination documents, micro chipped the pup and transaction was smooth. Rudra is an amazing dog, easy to train! Potty training and crate training was done within two weeks (even though we are first time pet owners). Rudra is attached to our family very well and he is very smart! Happy and proud to say we choose this breeder. Definetly going back if we decide to adopt another one!

I was on the site considering a second lab from seven oaks and just saw that ridiculous negative review. I decided to post my gratitude. We bought Marvin over a year ago and have enjoyed this healthy lovable guy. He is a white lab and brings joy to my family. Thank you seven oaks for all you do!

My husband and I bought the sweetest black lab from Chris and Linda, then 3 weeks later we took her back for training. Chris did a phenomenal job training her. The grounds are clean, they are AKC registered, and the dogs are well taken care of. I highly recommend.
