We cannot say enough good things about Sunset Ridge Labs. We got our black lab puppy, River (Pilot x Zoey), from them in April 2024 and Erika constantly sent us pictures and updates of him throughout the 8 weeks. When we picked him up it was clear how much they care for every single puppy, even asking to keep in touch and for us to send updates to them as he grows. Our pup has the best temperament, super calm and cuddly but also with an awesome drive for learning and work. Not to mention they’re the cutest 😊 We would recommend Sunset Ridge Labs to everyone we know, they are the best!

From the second I started communicating with Erika at Sunset Ridge Labs, it was like I was part of the Sunset Ridge Family immediately. She was very communicative and sent me pictures and videos of my little girl consistently while I waited for her to be able to come home. She has also been so supportive of Pearle even once she was home with me! I couldn’t be happier with my little girl Pearle, she is the cutest sweetest dog and comes from an amazing line of labs. I highly recommend Sunset Ridge Labs!

Since the moment I began talking to Erika from Sunset Ridge Labs, I felt like I was instantly welcomed into the Sunset Ridge Family. She kept me updated with regular pictures and videos of my little girl as I eagerly awaited her homecoming. Erika remains incredibly supportive with tips and suggestions for new fur parents.I can't express how amazing my chocolate lab is and how many compliments I receive on her. She is healthy, laid back, and the best puppy ever. I highly recommend Sunset Ridge Labs. The 14-hour road trip to get my girl Arella was definitely worth it.

Brenna - Maryland (Maple from Sarah x Pilot)

I highly recommend Sunset Ridge Labs as the breeder of your next lab! Erika won me over in the very first conversation we had. All my friends thought I was crazy to drive to NC from Maine for a dog. But, these dogs are ABSOLUTELY amazing! Initially, it was the color I was drawn to (Dark Fox Red -Pilot X Sarah), but with every interaction (Pictures, Videos, Texts) I has with Erika, I knew I wasn't driving 16 hours one way for just the color. Sunset Ridge Labs breeds for temperament first and foremost. These dogs have amazing personalities. Brick (5 months old) is smart, cuddly, and SO calm! We have gotten so many compliments on how calm our puppy is. Everybody LOVES Brick! I feel so blessed to be a member of the Sunset Ridge Lab family.

Stephanie & Rob - North Carolina (Huk from Zoey x Pilot)

Littermate 4 year old sisters Sadie and Reggie are all we wished for and more when we decided to get labs. Healthy, happy, smart, very social, and a ton of fun. Sadie is over 70 lbs of frisbee catching, soft, fluffy, body wagging love. Reggie is a petite 56 lbs of shiny, jet black, lightning fast, ball and squirrel chasing fury, when she is not asleep in someone’s lap. They are pure joy!

Shelby -Virginia (Sadie and Reggie from Oata x Shadow)

We are beyond thrilled with our beautiful, well-behaved red fox Lab puppy from Sunset Ridge Labs! From the very beginning, Erika has been an absolute gem, guiding us every step of the way. Her knowledge and dedication to her puppies are evident, and she's been incredibly responsive to every question we've had as our puppy has grown. Erika's support and expertise have made this experience truly exceptional, and we couldn't be happier with our new family member. We highly recommend Erika and Sunset Ridge Labs to anyone looking for a healthy, happy, and well-socialized Lab puppy. Thank you, Erika, for everything!

My experience with Erika was truly beautiful and something I deeply cherish. She was incredibly kind, communicative, and transparent throughout the entire process. As someone who had always adopted, committing to a litter that wasn’t even conceived yet was intimidating. However, it turned out to be incredibly special. I was thrilled to hear that Oata was pregnant, and when my little Lottie was born, I knew immediately she was meant to be mine. Being part of her life from day one has made me feel so close to her, and since the day I picked her up, we have been inseparable. She is the spitting image of her daddy, Pilot, full of curiosity and love. Everywhere we go, people rave about how beautiful she is, and I can’t help but smile and say, “I know, right?!”

Erika at Sunset Ridge Labs provides the upmost enjoyable experience while you wait for your new pup to come home. She made sure to send pictures, videos and updates weekly which made the time go by faster which was much appreciated. She was even there to help once we brought our sweet boy Huk home when we had some questions. Huk is so laidback and easygoing which has made his training a lot easier on us. Being great with children is an understatement as he lets our little ones love all over him and he can’t wait to return the favor. Huk is just an all around great dog and to say I’m obsessed is an understatement!

My husband surprised me with our chocolate lab puppy Boone as a wedding gift. He is the light of our life and makes everyday a new adventure! Sunset Ridge Labs was so amazing to work with and took such great care of him until we were able to pick him up. We were lucky enough to get first pick, and we knew we wanted the darkest chocolate of the litter and Erika was able to help us choose the one for us and was so great at communicating throughout the entire process. We are so thankful for them and love our sweet boy!

We keep saying we hit the puppy Jack pot. He has been such a good and easy puppy! Great with the kids and our 9 year old lab has a new pep in her step, he isn’t destroying things or chewing. He’s just chill and loving! His coat is darker yellow with a few fox red “highs lights” in areas like the end of his tail and ears. 😍
