About Kennel Up Idaho AKC Polar Bear White English Labs
We breed the Polar Bear White English style Labrador with the blocky head and stoutly built frame, wide otter tail and wonderful calm temperament characteristic of great English style Labradors. Our dogs have excellent black noses, gums and area around eyes which makes them simply gorgeous and owners constantly brag on their intelligence. When you purchase a Kennel-Up puppy you will be the proud owner of an incredible dog! Our sire, Snow Commander Gibbs, is a beautiful snowball white, with a fantastic blocky head a fabulous frame and a 'want to please' you attitude. Most of our families purchase a pup for a companion and many hunt with their pup. We carry hunting background in some of our females. Fifth generation Lucy is a beautiful light yellow with a great head, great frame and her mother received her JR Hunt Title at one year of age after only 1 month of training. Our puppies range in color from the fabulous snowball white of Papa Gibbs, to cream. Lucy comes from our original sire "Top Gun Cache Lucky" the son of Master Hunter "Golden States Wise Guy MH" who was featured on the 2004 cover of Ducks Unlimited. We have 2 Master Hunters, 6 Field Champions, 4 Amateur Field Champions, 1 National Amateur Field Champion and 1 Hall of Fame Retriever in the first 3 generations. When we go back 6 generations there are 35 FC, 30 AFC, 3 NFC, 6 NAFC, 4 CFC, 1 CAFC, 1CNFC, 1 GBSHCH, 1 USCH, 7 Show Champions and 19 Hall of Fame Retrievers. Our bloodlines go back to the 1800's with a combined total of 59 hall of fame retrievers all possessing wonderful brains and talent. The natural drive to hunt, the instinct of wanting to please combined with a sweet mellow temperament. These are the type of English Labradors we strive to continue to breed.

We recently purchased two male lab pups from Kennel Up. They were our second purchase from Sheryl, as we had just lost Riley (Our first lab from them). When I had written to let Sheryl know Riley had passed of cancer at 11.5 years old and to let me know when another puppy would be available, she sent pics of pups ready to go.
At first I was hesitant as I thought I needed some time to mourn Riley but after looking over photos of the new pups I decided immediately I needed another pup. But I instead got two brothers.
Everyone I spoke to said “oh no… two boys, that will be too hard”. I asked Sheryl to find brothers that get on well.
After picking up the dogs and two months in, the pups are absolutely wonderful. Both unique yet complimentary.
They really know their pups.

As of March 2021, we still have our sweet Charlie (mentioned in a previous letter). He is the sweetest dog I’ve ever had. We later got another puppy from them, as well (same mother, different father). Another sweet one, and we could not love these ‘boys’ more! They are well behaved, wonderful companions, pretty spoiled (deservedly so!) and good watch dogs, too.
The ONLY thing we would change would be to wait until they were 1-1/2 to 2 years old to have them ‘neutered’ (IF you want them neutered...).
We were ‘strongly encouraged’ by a large chain pet store to buy a package deal that would ‘save’ us a substantial amount of money over time. We got the package deal and, as we found out years later, they were neutered too soon (according to some) and they each had to have two (expensive & painful) surgeries on their back legs. One of them still bites at himself after eating sometimes and I’ve wondered if they left a stitch in from the surgery...
We will NEVER be using that ‘chain’ store/vet again. I would recommend asking around for a few recommendations of good veterinarians in your area. You never know, you might be saving more money in the long run - and these sweet animals deserve it??

We love our dog Beau! He is an amazing house pet as well as an incredible waterfowl hunter! Thanks Kennel Up Idaho.Submitted by: Jeremy on Jan 21, 2019
Four years ago we lost Koda our yellow lab to cancer. She was hands down the best dog we'd ever owned. We had been hesitant to replace her for several years. Then when the timing was right, we took a drive out to Parma and met Sheryl and Jim and their 12 or so furry kids. I was so impressed with first, how awesome looking their labs were- polar bear white! And second, the intelligent and pleasant dispotion their labs displayed. We now have two labs from Kennel up Idaho - izzy a four year old female and Maggie Mo a four month female puppy. They definitely fill the void that was left from Koda. They are both so different in their own unique way, but one thing remains constant - their unconditional love and loyalty. Thank you Jim and Sheryl!!Submitted by: Teresa Lowder/Peggy Marizza on Feb 20, 2018
We have had several labs in the past. We got a male lab from Kennel Up on May, 2013. Denver is the most wonderful dog we had ever had. We took Denver to obedience class because we wanted to have a therapy dog. He exceeded every expectation we had. He learned very quickly and LOVES children. We take him to schools and assisted living centers. He loves everyone. We would take him anywhere, anytime, he is just that wonderful. Denver always wants to please us and is the best dog. We are so lucky to have such a perfect furry kid. Submitted by: Ellen Gussie on Nov 19, 2017
We purchased our female lab, named Daisy, in 2015. She is hands down the smartest dog we have ever had. Her dispositon is sweet and she is extremely athletic. On top of all this she is a beautiful dog! Cherly Harris was great to work with all the way through the process of coming to look at pups, picking one out, and advice after getting Daisy home. Thank you Kennel up Labs for such wonderful labs!! I feel fortunate to have one of your dogs.Submitted by: Palmer on Apr 22, 2017
We bought one of their dogs! I instantly fell in love with all of them. Our little girl, Miska Snow, is the sweetest, smartest, well mannered, and even tempered dog I have ever had. She is so unbelievably great. Sheryl was great to work with. Miska had to have surgery to fix her eye lids, and when I mentioned it to Sheryl she didn't even hesitate to pay for it. We will definitely do business with them again! Amazing people and amazing dogs!! I couldn't be happier! Submitted by: Renee Lake on Jun 17, 2016
Now that we have had our new puppy for a couple of months I am so happy to have found him! He is so smart I am still amazed by him...having a lab growing up we decided in our old age to try one of our own. I told the doctor that I had never had a dog so willing to obey. His comment, these dogs are born trained! Thank you so much for breeding these awesome dogs! Submitted by: dianne landreth on Mar 20, 2015
