Titan 

Hi, My name is Kate Jenkins. I met Sandy through my kennel, Cedar Run Pet Resort, when she came to bring brochures about her training classes. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism and philosophy on dog training. When I found out that she was a Labrador breeder I was so excited! Labs are my favorite breed.  

My best friend is my 10 year old lab Dakota. I had been looking for a quality lab for a long time to train as a therapy dog. My dogs bring me such great joy that I feel it would be great to give back to others with them. I was skeptical I would ever find another dog with as great a personality as Dakota.  

When I met Sandy's pack I knew I had found the people and the dogs I had been searching for! My experience with Chris and Sandy was amazing. I waited 14 months for Gracie to have a litter of pups. When the September 08 litter was 4 weeks old Sandy allowed me and my two young daughters to start visiting regularly to pick just the right puppy for us. The day we went to pick him up was one of the best of my life.  

I will NEVER buy another dog anywhere else! Titan has been all that I could have ever wanted and more. He and I are so close. Our training with Sandy and RBRandL was fantastic. I now recommend her to all my clients.  

Titan is not only absolutely gorgeous, he is smart, willing, loyal, affectionate, and kind. Everyone that meets him falls in love. He is wonderful with people( kids and adults), and all sorts of animals. He even goes out trail riding with me and my horses. There is something so heart warming about watching my 4 year old daughter Lauren curl up on the floor and use Titan as a pillow while she reads him a story.  

The best part is that I consider Sandy to be a dear friend of mine now. You truly are accepted into a family when you get a pup from the Stokes. I look forward to bringing home another pup from you some day soon! Thank you Sandy, Chris, and all the members of the RBRandL family( both 2 and 4 legged) for all that you do.

  Rodanthe

In September 2008, we laid to rest our ten year old black Labrador, Cloee, who courageously fought Leukemia for two years.  It was in no way easy making the decision to bring a new puppy into our lives so soon but RBR&L opened our minds and hearts, and now I brag and boast to encourage Labrador lovers to join their family with an RBRandL puppy. It was not long before Rodanthe made her own place in our hearts. The level of intelligence (potty trained in one week, out of kennel full-time at 6 months), mild nature, good health, and the beautiful coat this Labrador displays amazes us daily.  We often find ourselves commenting how amazing she is and how lucky we are. 

I have been watching the website and waiting for the announcement of a new liter for two reasons.  One, to reach out to folks I know looking for a Labrador and two, to dream of bringing another RBR&L into our lives. Along with Rodanthe, still known as Puppy Number Three, we thank you for welcoming us into your Labrador family!

Zorro

Hi, my name is Salli.  My husband and I were blessed when we were referred to Sandy Stokes and Red Barn Ranch and Labs.  Zorro, our almost 10 month old lab has been the light of both of our lives.  When we purchased him from Sandy in December 2008, he was already completely house and crate trained.  He has a wonderful temperament and is quick to please.  We both can not say enough about Sandy and Red Barn Ranch.  We would highly recommend her dogs and training classes.  Zorro has also stayed with Sandy and he always has a wonderful time.  He has plenty of room to run, and Sandy takes great care of all her dogs.  We can't wait to see the next litter of pups!
