Our Story

Our family’s passion for animals definitely predated Breeding. As a child I spent a great deal of time with our family pets as well as working at and riding horses at a local ranch in Thousand Oaks. My own dream of owning horses became a reality 30 years ago when we bought our first Andalusian filly. We decided to buy a small ranch in Norco and that allowed us to expand. We there for 20 years before an amazing opportunity came up for us to buy a larger 5 acre ranch in rural Riverside (Lake Mathews) about ten miles south east. That’s where we are now and have been since 2021. We love owning a ranch and all the amazing animals we get to share it with.

About McKenna Creek Labradors of Riverside CASteve & Amy

Although we are a large family, we are deeply committed to one another & to all of our animals. Our children often help with the care and socialization of our Labradors and we believe it is mutually beneficial to both the children and puppies. We have definitely passed on our love for animals on to them and even influenced our daughter’s career choice of being a veterinary technician.

About McKenna Creek Labradors of Riverside CA

I have bred sporting dogs and Andalusian horses for over 15 years.

Our passion for animals predates becoming breeders, but it was in breeding that I found my calling. For me, it’s a passion that goes beyond just finding the right dogs to breed. It’s about connections with ethical breeders and diligent research.

It’s also knowing the difference between a “good” English Labrador & a “Great” English labrador and being dedicated to their health and welfare.

Sadie is the perfect example of the product of that dedication, research and patience. She is a double chocolate (EEbb). She has an exceptional temperament, lovely block head and has excellent retrieving skills. There is nothing this girl can’t do. She is the cornerstone of our breeding program and we could not be prouder of this gorgeous English Labrador Retriever!
