Patriot Labrador Retrievers To learn more, please visit our website! Greetings and welcome to Patriot Labrador Retievers! I'm MSG Chris Harris, USA, Retired and I love dogs.

PLRs mission is to support fellow Veterans in their quest to restore their independence with the assistance of a service dog through research, education, and 100% dedication. In 2009, after 20 years of military service, I discovered first hand how difficult transitioning into civilian life can be. A combat Veteran, combined with the added pressure that many Veterans experience when leaving the military; I felt vulnerable and lacking in purpose. In 2010, I adopted two German Shepherds, Koda & Sadie. I discovered first-hand how life changing a dog could be. Koda & Sadie provided the foundation for healing that no human could ever offer. It was then I began my journey to learn all things dog.

Started on sound desensitization today. Very low volume fireworks, storms, and gunfire. Didn’t phase the pups a bit.

Litter box introduction is going great. Most pups have already learned to go on the grid. Once they are more steady on their feet, the actual box will be added.

Most of the puppies are now able to hear. Pig rails removed today and tomorrow we start litter box introductions.
It’s hard work being a puppy.

Litter Postponement.
Lady came into heat a month early and we made the decision to postpone this breeding as the timing of the puppy’s arrival would not be ideal with already scheduled commitments.

For those on the waitlist for a Thorin x Lady pup; instead of an anticipated go home of April, it is now Aug/Sept 2026.

Apologizes for the any inconveniences. The care and welfare of our dogs/puppies is priority and if we are not able to commit ourselves 100%, breeding’s will not take place.

Congratulations to these adorable chocolate kisses for graduating, with honors, from Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) today. All the pups handled it well and I saw positive progress each day.

This evening will be our last session of Early Scent Introduction (ESI).

We may stumble and fall; but we get right back up. 🐾

Puppy Tidbits!
Eyes:
Puppies are born with their eye lids ‘sealed’ shut. Although the eyes are fully formed, they are still developing. The eye lids will start to open up around 2 weeks of age. Most of the Foodies eyes have started to open.

Puppies are, to a degree, color-blind. Dogs see in colors of mainly blues, grays, white and pale yellows. We, on the other hand, see all colors of the rainbow. We can also see better close up than dogs. On average, your puppy has 20/75 vision, while humans (with correction, if needed) should have perfect 20/20 vision.
