Rustic Ridge Labradors Lebanon, Indiana

If you are looking for quality chocolate English Labs you have to contact Rustic Ridge. Beautiful stocky block with great personalities.

I would give the 20 stars if I could. Simply the best!! We have two Rustic Ridge chocolate labs and they are not only BEAUTIFUL (people stop us when we are out with them and comment on how beautiful they are ALL the time) but they are smart and have the best temperament. Donna and Joe are perfect examples of what dog breeders should be. They are very careful with breeding, with adoption, with follow up, and they love each dog as their own, and the environment that they provide for their dogs is like doggie heaven. Couldn’t find a better breeder in my opinion. We love our dogs, and we love Rustic Ridge!! ❤️

Rustic Ridge Labradors is beyond incredible in their overall intake and execution of placing their pure love and joy furry babies!!! Donna’s ability to interview and determine the best chocolatelove for my family was spot on. My Chocolate Lab Boy is perfect character for me and my family. I was so impressed by Donna, that I have referred her to many friends and clients. I am fortunate to have two clients that have off spring of Rustic Ridge Labs, I receive so much love and affection from the pack. Both of my clients couldn’t be happier with their Boys. Thank you Donna for all your support and love throughout the adoption process. Your wonderful!!!

The company never responded to my inquiries.

On February 14, we received a chocolate lab from Rustic Ridge Labs and he is awesome! Donna made sure that we had all the info that we needed about raising a pup, showed us where his microchip is located and how it can shift, which is normal. Donna also went over the best foods and chew toys for our pup, and reasons why (etc. how some shew toys can cause choking hazards or even how pieces can get lodged in a dog's digestive track.) There is nothing better than being able to purchase a pup from someone who cares as much as they do at Rustic Ridge Labs and I would gladly recommend them to anyone searching for a chocolate lab pup! You will leave there knowing more than you thought possible about labs and loving your new family member!

We had a wonderful experience using Rustic Ridge! Our pup is well adjusted, kind, gentle and healthy. I love that the pups are raised in their personal home, exposed to so many sounds, stimulants, and love. The puppy camera on 24/7 is amazing!! I sometimes go back to the website just to watch the new litters!! You can't go wrong with this breeder!!

I am not one to readily write reviews. I feel that if you have a job to do and you do it well, that is the reward. One should not be incumbent or relying on others opinions. That being said.. I have been a huge fan of rescue. My past two Labs were rescued. I have volunteered with local law Enforcement and organizations in the shut down of more than 10 unlicensed “breeders “ and I have helped put a LOT of bad people in jail. So when the situation arose that we chose to go the breeder route for our final dog together, My son and I contacted Donna at Rustic Ridge. We were very skeptical and weary. I was instantly impressed with her thoroughness of qualifying us as acceptable candidates for adoption. What was even more impressive is the love and care she and Joe show for these wonderful family members. These are not just dogs to them. Breeders and donors.. they are family. And that is apparent when you enter their home. And I cannot express my gratitude enough for the gift given to us by the Powell’s and Biscuit as well. “A dog is the only family member that truly loves you more than it loves itself”. Thank you Donna and Joe for what you do. Gratefully, Scott and Sam Wise Westfield IN.

Donna Powell owns Rustic Ridge Labradors along with Joe, her husband, and they are committed to raising beautiful chocolate English Labradors with loving temperaments, good conformation and the most expressive faces. She is an AKC recognized “Breeder with Heart” and it shows in the many ways she consistently exceeds the high standards set by the organization. That aside, you won’t find a more caring person with the innumerable ways she nurtures both the puppies and the mommas . Nor will you find a better more rounded pup than with Donna. Give her a call... you can’t go wrong.

Rusticridge Labs (Donna) is an experienced and knowledgeable breeder. I have had labs my whole life, but my gorgeous choc lab from Rusticridge has the best temperament of any lab I have owned. I am blessed to have found a breeder like Donna. Thank you Donna for blessing me with my baby girl.

Donna is an awesome breeder. I would def recommend this kennel to anyone looking for a beautiful, fun loving English Chocolate Labrador! I got my first lab, Abery, from Rustic Ridge when I was 16. I’m now 28 and I still have her and her son Kato. They both are my whole heart. They have amazing temperaments and awesome personalities. They both have been and still are very healthy even in their old age. Abery is now 13 and still loves to play with toys and swim. Kato, who is 8, has earned several titles including his CGC, trick dog & working certificate. I couldn’t ask for better additions to my family!

Donna and her crew go above and beyond every time. We currently have two incredible family members from her. I will not go anywhere else. Quality pups, loving and caring environment. What more can you ask for. She’s been an invaluable resource for me through it all. Call her. You won’t be disappointed.

I looked all over the southeast three years ago for a labrador retriever , to replace one that I had lost after 16 years . And I kept reading reviews that drew me to finally settling on Donna & Joe at Rustic Ridge Labradors after 1 Year …

Best dogs ever! We have always had chocolate labs, and we are so grateful to have found Donna and Joe at Rustic Ridge. Gentle temperaments, great personalities, and the beautiful labs quickly become your best friend ! Thank you Rustic Ridge Labradors!
