LICENSED  
 
Missouri Muddy Paws Kennel, located in the Bootheel of Missouri, was started in 1996 by husband & wife team, Keith & Michelle Lawson. 

 

   

   "Ginger"


      British Labrador Retrievers are a less known, smaller version of the standard Labrador. The "birdie", British Labs are consistently easier to train and handle since the disagreable behavioral  and other problems are bred out. 

      Keith Lawson has been training bird "hunting" dogs since 1978, in the vast flyways of southeast Missouri. I have always had a lab in training for someone, and have made many lifetime hunting buddies with our dogs. We began the association with British labs after experiencing a training demonstration. We began  researching the breed and was hooked after training our first British lab. Keith studied the British Training methods and applies these methods on his current training. 
       
      After our experience of training our first British Lab, We have come in contact with  a Breeder in Ireland. Since then, we have been importing dogs from Ireland because of their impressive and strict breeding programs which will produce dogs that have excellent temperaments, are easily trained, and are very eager to please.
       
      Missouri Muddy Paws  is a licensed kennel, located outside Sikeston, MO on a 3 acre training facility with a private 1 acre pond.  We live on site but also train on famous Missouri Conservation Department waterfowl refuge areas; Otter slough, and Ten Mile Pond, both located near our home. Keith and Michelle Lawson are passionately devoted trainers and have dedicated themselves into providing the highest quality British Labradors. 
       
      We offer top notch obedience, and retriever  training.  If you are looking for a top notch retriever that has a great personality, trainability, obedience, desire, and ease of handling, then we ask you to come and take a look at our dogs. We stand behind our dogs 100% and can customize the training to however you want your dog to perform. Missouri Muddy Paws Kennel will always allow their own pup's top priority on openings for training. Contact us on openings. We limit the amount of dogs at one time which allows for a higher quality of training.

Socialization and discipline are just a couple of our gentlemans gundogs best assests. It begins at a very early age with our intense breed of beautuful prestigeous waterfowl hunting pups. Like all the distinguished dams and sires before our handpicked breeding mates, hunting and retrieving training are an extremely easy part of training.
 
A calm demeaner is bred into our dogs from some of the finest bloodlines of prior generations from England, Ireland and the United states. Control is the key to an enjoyable hunting experience, and these bad boys of the field, blind, and boat naturally have it. We at Missouri Muddy Paws Kennel just bring it out in them. 

 
 
All of our puppies are treated like the closest of family members. We do not raise typical "labrador retrievers".  We are selective who our pups go to. Our goal is not just to put out the finest in quality of pure bred English Labs, but also to match them to a loving family.  
 
Understanding how the canine thinks, alot of praise, encouragement, and a continual confidence building training experience are our training tools and produce pups that are eager to please their people.
