About Us
Bear Creek Labradors is owned and operated by Dr. Kelly Hepworth, his wife, Sarah, and their daughter Emily. They are located in Northwest Colorado on the east side of Craig in picturesque Northwest Colorado. They breed and train male and female labrador dogs and puppies that are AKC registered and have a 26-month genetic health guarantee.
Raising, training, and hunting with Labradors are significant parts of our lives and have always been lifelong endeavors. In addition to our labs, Kelly owns and operates a Veterinary practice located next to the kennel. Each fall, Kelly hunts waterfowl and upland birds in several states.
Our labs are derived from the finest pedigree lines available. They are carefully selected for temperament, conformation, and intelligence. We keep our breeding stock free from hereditary problems. Each lab at Bear Creek has certified hips, elbows, and eyes. Our puppies are sold with a 26-month hip and eye guarantee.
Our puppies are highly socialized, so that they will be ready for placement with their new owners. All puppies have their dewclaws removed, are wormed, and receive their first shot. Our puppies have become superb family companions, bird and hunt test competitors, gun dogs, obedience winners, and K9 narcotic dogs. You can purchase your Bear Creek puppy with confidence.
