Family-raised English Labs for Garner families
We are Archer Lodge Labradors, a family breeder on Archer Lodge Rd in Clayton, NC, in Johnston County just east of Raleigh. Many of the families who bring home our puppies live in Garner, just south of Raleigh in Wake County. Every puppy is raised in our home, around our children, visitors and everyday noise, and every parent is AKC registered with genetic testing completed.
Life with a Lab in Garner
Garner is a close neighbor, and White Deer Park and the Neuse River trails are great spots for puppy walks once your vet clears public outings. Many Garner families are among our closest visitors and enjoy meeting our dogs before reserving.
Picking up your puppy
Garner is an easy trip, so pickup day is usually relaxed and quick. Visits are by appointment. Call or text (919) 899-8917 and we will set a time to meet our dogs and see the puppies. If you cannot make the trip, we offer ground transport at $2 per mile round trip and air transport from $850 to $2,000. Our guide to flying vs. driving explains both.
