I'd never heard of Jim Burris, I'd never looked for a dog on the internet. I'd been researching breeders from Florida to Maine, when I found Greenbriars. I took a chance and sent an email and Jim answered right back.
Meeting Jim was like reconnecting with an old friend. I can't thank him enough for all he did for me.
His pups are outstanding. But what shines through, is the love and time he puts into them. They are solid, balanced, and well socialized. These pups have such a head start on the life you will share with them.
At 7 weeks my puppy traveled 1000 miles with 2 nights in a motel to my home in upstate New York, like she had been doing it for yrs.
Thanks again Jim and Kathy for all that you do

Jim Burris has a first class operation and beautiful Labs to match. The Lab I purchased from him has been nothing but phenomenal. From the crate training to the retrieving, this has been the easiest dog to train yet. With Jim's techniques that are employed from birth, it makes all the difference in the world when it comes to crate training, only two incidents during the whole process. My lab at 6 months old was retrieving and holding the object until I gave the command to release. At 8 months he was retrieving in the field and water with live action. His temperament is awesome. My kids wrestle, play ball, skateboard ect with him. He is obedient to all members of the family but ultimately responds to me. His intelligence level is off the charts. His size and stature are beautiful to match. He is just under 70lbs with a huge block head and short otter tail. In all I would recommend Jim Burris's dogs to anyone who wants a pet or hunting companion.

My mother picked me up one their puppies nearly 3 years ago and I honestly could not be happier. She had nothing but great things to say about Jim and the kennel! My black Lab might be the most gorgeous dog I have ever seen and I could not imagine a better personality and temperament on a dog. She loves to play, loves people and other dogs, and yet is so gentle around small kids. It takes just minutes to train her to do anything and her intelligence is off the charts. She is truly an amazing dog and friend. I cannot wait to get another and though I now live up North I will gladly travel all the way back down to the Greenbrier Plantation for my next. - Matt

Elizabeth and I were fortunate to find Jim Burris of Greenbriar in search of our Labrador. Jim clearly explained how he grows his family of Labs and the expectations he expects from his dogs. Having lost Tank, our black male lab of 10 years I never thought there could be another. However, we now have Greenbriar's Samantha, a 7 month female yellow lab. We waited for our litter and our gal was singled out by Jim as the pup that would fit into our family.
I can only say this dog is everything one could ask for in a retriever; has all the lab characteristics, eager to learn, is developing her hunting skills, and most importantly is perfect at home. She quickly got her house training behind her, loves to retieve in the water, patrols the kitchen with Elizabeth at meal time, and has locked down her place on the couch.
It's too early to tell if she can replace all the fond memories of Tank but Samantha is well on her way to being very very special. Soon she will be part of the Iowa pheasant hunt this November.
If you are looking for the best, check out Jim and Kathy's family of Labs.

We got our pup, Bear, from you in February this year. She's 5 1/2 months old now and doing double retrieves on land and in water. Great puppy and going to be a fantastic retriever. Thank you so much!

Last May, I had to put down my yellow lab, Carolina. This was the saddest day ever as she was with our family for almost 14 years. I had no clue where to begin to look for another. A couple of months passed and as I was searching on the internet, I came upon Greenbriar Kennels. My Dad, an avid lab lover, went to visit the kennel and said this was the best ever. We waited for 6 months to get our little "Lilly" and it was so worth the wait. Mr. Burris and Kathy
at Greenbriar Kennels offer so much more than just buying a puppy. Besides having beautiful labs and an outstanding kennel, they offer the most wonderful and unique experience of getting our best friend.

Update on my earlier testimony. Not only does Greenbriar have the most beautiful English Block headed labs they also have the smartest. Gibson is now 2-1/2 months old can sit, come, and shake on command and best of all, he's housebroken. He also sits under the bird feeder and watches all the birds. Good sign that he will be a great dove and duck retriever. He has our hearts completely. Thank you Jim for this wonderful little man.

I read all the wonderful comments about JR and the Labs that he breeds and it is all so true!! We bought a Lab from JR in 2005 his name is "JACK" and I have never had a dog with a better temperament. He is the love of our lifes and everyone who meets him loves him to. JR is such a nice man and has a wonderful kennel!!

On Aug. 21, 2011 we had to put our 9 yr. old lab gus down. He was our companion and avid dove and uck hunter. We loved him as part of our family. It was devastating. It took a couple of months to think about filling this void in our lives. When we did decide to look for another lab, we contacted several breeders. Greenbriar was the first and actually only breeder that responded to us in the month we looked. Jim Burris answered in just a few hours of our contact. I knew then that this was the breeder we were looking for. It turned out he had a litter due in November and asked if we could wait until December to fill our void. I did not want to, but had not gotten any response from any other breeder. So, we decided to stay with Greenbriar. We brought home our new addition, Gibson on Dec. 29 and am so happy and pleased with this little guy and how we were treated by Jim. He kept us up to date from day one of the breeding to the whelping. I am so happy and so delighted by this new addition to our family and Thank Jim and Greenbriar with all my heart for filling this enormous void in our lives. I would recommend Greennbriar to anyone. I am eternally grateful. Thank you Jim and Kathy for showing us how much you care. The facility is outstanding and hope to return soon just to say Thank you again and bring Gibson for a visit.

This breeder (JR) has to be one of the best kept secrets for hunting & confirmation dogs. The true English style lab. My lab has just received her AKC Senior title and well on her way to a Master Hunter title. Every judge that has met her (at AKC & HRC tests) comment on her steadiness at the line. She has a great nose for blinds and hunting up. A wonderful marking dog. And a GREAT friend! I do plan on picking up another dog for JR.
