Gun Dog Breeder Reviews for Tri-lab kennels Pointing Labradors

We purchased our "Tenacious Tess" from Sean about a 1 1/2 ago. My Son Jonah had been waiting for 2 years for the chance to finally start looking for a Chocolate Lab Female. We fequently watch a outdoor hunting channel which lead us to calling a friend of Sean's, Pat Murphey, who is the host of Jonah's favorite hunting show. He sugguested that we give Sean a call. Did I mention we live in Texas!! Well...long story short, Sean made it possible for Jonah to have his dream come true!! She is the most beautiful, loving, smart dog around!! Tess is just a 1 1/2 she is currently working on hand signals, and doing exceptionally well!! We plan on sending her back to Sean for Stud service within the next couple of years. Thank you Sean for the gift of a lifetime for Jonah!! Sincerely, Tiffany

I've had labradors for over 40 years and had bred them for the first twenty years of that. I professionally trained all breeds of gundogs and was also AKC licensed to judge Spaniel Hunting tests from Junior through Master hunting tests. I think this gives me some credability to comment and compare dogs.
We got a chocolate male puppy from Sean 5 months ago and are extremely pleased with him. Not only is he extremely good looking and balanced but he is talented, very intelligent, eager to please, and tractable.
At this young age he shows great marking ability and memory. These qualities are in his genetics (thanks to Sean) Dogs are either born with the ability to mark falls or not. You can improve on that abiliity but it has to be there to begin with. They can either mark fallen birds or or they can't. This guy can. His parents were selected to pass on that trait. They did.
Our puppy(Rye) is trainable, responds readily to minimum correction, and above all is honest in in his performance in that if he doesn't do what I want, I have failed to show him. He does not refuse a command out of stubbornness.
I have trained hundreds of dogs of my own and other peoples' and this puppy in my best objective opinion rates in the top one percent of them. If you want an exceptional dog , call Sean get in line, put down a deposit and wait. However long it takes it will be worth your while.- Jim

We picked out one of Tiger and Miah's pups that were born on Thanksgiving of 2011. Sean was great to work with and we enjoyed the entire process of picking out our pup. Jeger is now about three months old and is very healthy with a great personality already. We have an older lab and also three kids--Jeger is great with all of them. He's mild mannered and sweet but when you bring out a pheasant wing or anything else with a scent of bird on it, he goes nuts. We've had a few labs and we already know Jeger is going to be both a great family pet and an amazing hunter.
Thanks Sean!

I bought my puppy from Sean about 9 months ago and she came from one of JT's litters. She has an amazing personality and quickly became best friends with my 2 year old son. Kelsey is currently with a professional trainer is doing very well. She has great hunting instincts and is consistently pointing birds. I would definitely recommend Tri-Lab Kennels, I am very happy with our new family member both in the house and in the field.

Sean,
Just writing a quick note to tell you we love our Shantee dearly. She is a beautiful, in all ways, member of our family. She is smart, gentle and just what we wanted. Thank you for a great friend and perfect pick of the litter for us. Jennifer

We collected our female pup, Callie Mae, during April 2011. She is a JT offspring. JT is a superb dog and we had no doubt his pups would be excellent too. Callie Mae is determined, focused, eager to please, fearless and a fast learner, while still being an excellent companion to our family, including an older dog. Although she will not be used for hunting, her athletic ability and desire to work with a handler will ensure that she will excel at agility and dock diving. I have no hesitation in recommending Sean and Tri-Lab Kennels as great breeders.

I purchased my yellow and black labs Jet and Kash, from Sean @ Tri-lab kennels almost 3 years ago. I am pleased to say they have grown into excellent pointing hunting labs. From the start Sean has worked to help me have the best hunting dog experience and keep my program on track. When my friends ask "where do you get a lab that points like that?!" I know where to send them - Tri-lab Kennels in Tonasket Wa.

---

Sean delivered our Flynn to a very remote area in NE Montana. He is a very professional breeder and I was able to hunt behind some of his own dogs and was very impressed with his dogs abilities. Flynn is a very intelligent pup and has already learned and mastered many commands. I would highly recommend getting a dog from Tri-lab kennels. Thanks Sean.

---

I have 2 of Sean's pups and can attest that he breeds the best looking labs that can hunt! My dogs are also great family dogs that my grandchidren love. A family member was so impressed with one of my dogs that he has ordered one from Sean as well.

---

We have had a wonderfull time with our new Tori Jo. She arrived in great shape via a long flight from Seatlle to Fort Worth, Texas. Everyone thinks she is the cutest puppy with a great color and thick, healthy coat. We could not be more happy.
Thanks Sean

Bella joined our Family Christmas 2010. Her parents are Tiger and Miah from Tri-lab Kennels and we couldn't be happier with her. From the time she came home, she has been relaxed and happy. She has a wonderful temperment and is a perfect edition to our family.
We chose to send Bella back to Tri-lab Kennels in June and September for Obedience and Bird Training. It has been worth EVERY PENNY!! Sean and Angela are wonderful with the Dogs and treat them like they are their own. Bella is very strong willed and Sean was able to break some of the habits we were not! Sean was demonstrating some of the hunting techniques he taught her and she is AMAZING! We were fortunate to get it on video and will be posting it to share with you, it is unbelievable!
Our local vet said she has the best nose of any dog he has seen and an amazing physique! At first, We thought the Vet was just placating us, but we have found that he is absolutely right! Bella is now a year old and on her first Pheasant trip out, she flushed up TWO BIRDS in her first 15 minutes out!!! We were shocked and thrilled to see her work the field and even more impressed with her hunting desire!
We HIGHLY recommend Tri-lab Kennels and if you are looking for a great Bird dog, LOOK NO FURTHER! Sincerely - Jim and Jodi M. of Port Orchard WA.

We picked up our yellow male lab "Ruger" on Sept. 30. We never purchased a puppy out of state before so this process was new. I decided to look out of state as I really wanted a Pointing Lab and also the lines in Alaska that I was seeing I did not care for. I had a criteria in narrowing my search down. First, health history.. Second, Titles and Third, Breeder. We wanted to stay in the Pacific NW area so the pup did not have to fly to far. I started contacting multiple breeders in Washington State and after talking to them on phone a few times and through email, Sean ended up being the one that would talk to me and answer my questions. Some of the other breeders wouldn't answer my questions, so I thought if they wont answer them now how will I be treated down the road.
So we now have our pup he is 3 months old and doing very well. He is a very fast learner has been showing good drive on short "puppy retrieves", but in the house settles right down and lays down at your feet. We are looking forward to years of companionship with Ruger. I am also possibly going to send him back to Sean for some training this spring. I would recommend this breeder to others with no hesitation.

Thanks,
Fairbanks, Alaska

Having never purchased a dog out of state before,I was unsure of the process and costs involved. Sean was very helpful and upfront with all costs associated with shipping a pup. I picked my male black lab up at the airport Sept. 30th. The whole process was much easier than one might think.
Jake is a great dog that shows alot of promise. His intelligence is obvious, and he seems very eager to learn. Being only 11 weeks old I was amazed to see him go on point during one of our daily walks.
Great customer service and a great dog- what more could you ask for?

Thought I'd give you an update on Rufus. He is 9 months old now, weighs about 65# and is bigger than our other dog. He was a quick study on basic obedience, has extremely high prey drive, and he retrieves to hand without FF so that should make FF training easier. He still puppy-swims but we're working on that with a check cord and life jacket and seeing good progress. He is hell on wheels with live birds and passionate about entering the water.

Ginger is handling now and we hope to start her in AKC hunt tests this year. She is 3.5 years old and that's pretty old for starting, but she has the ability, marks well, and retrieves to hand (had been FF trained). Maybe next year we'll jump into the APLA circuit but we may show up to one or two this year just to watch.

Thanks for two great hunting dogs and companions!

My husband and I purchased a black lab puppy from Sean of Tri-Lab Kennels in October, 2010. She is now 6 months old and we cannot say enough of what an outstanding dog she is. Our Danielle settled into her new home instantly when we brought her home and adjusted without any fuss. It is very obvious that she comes from quality breeding and so far has easily learned anything we have taught her. She will make a good hunting dog when it comes time to train her, and right now, she's an awesome companion. She has the perfect features which make her a real beauty! I feel Sean & Angie have a great kennel and would recommend anyone to them if they were looking for a retriever.

---

My pup is three months old now and is showing signs of a true hunting dog. He is pointing and retrieving as well you can expect from a pup. From day one, Trilabs was professional in their mannerisms and ensured me that I was getting a quality hunting dog. I would not hesitate to get another dog from this breeder. The most important part of my pup is his personality. He is very calm and a great family pet.

---

We picked up our Chocolate Male in August. Tyson is as great as we expected. Sean was recommended to us by a breeder we had used in the past, that is no longer breeding but training with Sean. It was worth the drive to Eastern Washington. Tyson is wonderful - he is 11 weeks and member of the family. Training is progressing and he looks terrific. We would recommend Tri-Labs to anyone interested in a great dog.

From start to finish our experience with the Isaac
family was exceptional. Mr Isaac carefully answered all of our questions and patiently matched us with the right pup. The family homesite and kennel location was impeccable. It was highly evident that the dogs were well cared for, well trained and that the human element was
present. Our Sophie is thriving and a delightful addition to the family farm. As my grandmother used to always say...."If you want to get something done right, ask a busy person."

After much searching for the “right” dog and breeder, we found Tri-lab kennels and ordered our pup. We picked her up in June 2010. With Tori and Tiger as the parents we knew we were going to get a wonderful dog…and we did! People thought we were crazy getting a puppy with twin 2 year boys, but our Summer girl is not only smart with a natural point, she is gentle and wonderful with our boys. In fact, she is so great, that when it was time this year for her to get a sister, we went straight back to Tri-Lab and asked for another pup from Tori and Tiger. Summer is now 16 months old and our new River girl is now 11 weeks old. They are not only sisters, they are best buds! Summer actually thanked me for bringing her a baby sister and has been a big help (since I’m a little busy with my boys). River is learning very fast with Summer to teach her the ropes. I expect nothing but the best from her as well. Thanks Sean!

Tri-lab kennels is a 5 star kennel I picked up my 8 week old male lab ( yellow )from Sean and Angela. They are meticulous in every detail. Sean promised me a great pup and I was not disappointed my little guy took right to me and has been a joy every day. I highly recommend tri-lab kennels to anyone looking for a lab!

---

Raider came to our family as a 5 month old started dog. He is wonderful as a hunter companion and partner for our other house dog. Sean has been intrumental in raiders training and as a 13 month old he points naturaly, is whoa broke and ready for his CPL test in October as well as opening day for his first duck and Pheasant season. I am an older hunter and it is a joy to have a lab that hunts close with intensity and enthusiasm. TRI Labs is the bomb, I love them.

---

Tri lab kennels was a great group to work with. We ended up with a black lab named, Rowdy. He is everything we were looking for. Sean and company were easy to work with and I would recommend them to anyone.

---

I would highly recommend Tri-Lab Kennels for your next pointing lab. Our dog is now 16 months old and we couldn't be happier with his hunting instincts, pointing ability and overall demeanor. He is also a wonderful family dog and can immediately flip from "hunting mode" to "family mode". Sean has been fantastic to deal with and really did a great job of helping us decide on the right dog for us.

Boston is a 3 year old Choc lab that we got from Tri-Lab Kennels. Boston is an 85lbs male who is always on the hunt; he has crazy drive and no fear! Loves the water and does not rest until told. He is at home in the truck or boat and goes to work with me as well. I get compliments on this dogs looks everywhere we go!
I have been so impressed with this dog that just this month we picked up our second pup from Tri-Lab. An 8 week old female yellow lab named Annabelle. She has no fear and will not stop chasing the wings!
If you are looking for a gundog that will make a great family dog and has the looks and build that can win in show. Sean is a very busy man so have some patience but he has the pup for you!

---

I have a 6 month old Black Lab Male from Tri-Lab Kennels. Drake is everything you could ask for in a dog. He’s well behaved, intelligent and loves to hunt. Drakes’ training has been a breeze, compared to other dogs I’ve purchased for other breeders. Tri-Lab Kennels was very professional from the time I ordered the dog till the time the dog was ready to be picked up. I would defiantly recommend looking at Tri-Lab Kennels, before you purchase your next pointing lab.

Tri-Lab Kennels and more specifically Sean Issac produce solid dogs, that can be counted on to be everything Sean says they are. Our family looked extensively for the right dog, and when we found Sean our search ended. He matched us with "Dillon" who we picked up on 9-25-09. Dillon is absolutely everything Sean promised and more. He is extremely well trained at 7 months old, and is the perfect gundog and house buddy. Dillon has proven to be one of the calmest "pups" I have ever been around, and a real pleasure to watch. Sean continues to provide his customers with a quality dog that he will give you an HONEST assesment of. His comitment to the integrity of his kennel is without equal, and his approach is refreshingly honest. Great Job Sean keep up the outstanding work!
Regards
the Browne Family

I just purchased a chocolate female lab from tri-lab and she is wonderful. Such a beautiful, sweet dog that I received many compliments on. She seems to be very well breed and has a great personality. Sean Isaac was great to work with. He was very patient with all of my questions and always responded to my emails in a very timely manner. I will definitely purchase another dog from this breeder.

---

I picked up my choc. male only a few days ago and let me just say my experience was great. My boy is already showing promise just with hhis style of play. He's also a great companion in the house with my wife and I. Mr. Isaac was a great help in selecting my first dog to train and an overall pleasure to deal with. I will be recommending him to anyone I know that wants a lab for home and field. Or just for a well bred dog.

I purchased a yellow female whelped Nov 15, 07. She is everything Sean said she was. Mellow, biddable, looking to please and beautiful. Sean was very helpful in shipping her from WA to Michigan and was concerned I call him when the pup arrived so he knew she was safe. Lucy is our 5th lab and I have no worries she will be a great hunter. I can see she has an active nose and is already pointing the wing on the fly rod. We are extremely happy and satisfied with our purchase. I was apprehensive about getting a dog so far away but that was not an issue. I would do it again in a minute.;
Anyone can call or email me if they wish to discuss the experience.

Our family searched long and hard to find a black lab puppy. We found Tri Lab Kennels on the web and got in touch with them. From the first conversation we knew that they cared about the breed and the pups that they sold. They dont have a large amount of pups each year and the dogs they do have are there pets. We got our black lab pup (Deuce)at 8 weeks. When I took him to the vet he would already sit and is naturally already pointing. He is very well natured and is so great with our other dog and our toddler. I would recommend this breeder.
