Best Dog Breeder Santa Rosa Near Me

4worldlovers: We are Ted & Laurie Soloski, owners of Kentfield Kennels Labrador Retrievers, a small hobbyist kennel located in the beautiful countryside of Sebastopol, California, just 1 hour north of San Francisco.

Here at Kentfield Kennels we are firmly committed to breeding the traditional English Style Labrador Retriever that will become your best friend, a loving family member, hunting companion, service dog, or will be out there competing in one of the many events you can enjoy with your dog.


What we wish to produce is a substantial, medium sized dog with a good bone structure, strong muscles, a broad head and muzzle with wide set eyes that have a kind expression. A great double coat to keep out the cold and that thick traditional otter tail that is carried straight and flat from the body is our goal in each breeding. We want our females to weigh approximately 55-65 lbs, and our males to weigh around 65-80 lbs.

All of our puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club, micro-chipped and enrolled in the AKC ReUnite program before they go into a new family home.

The Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate and patient dog. They are highly intelligent, quick to learn, lively, good-natured and love to play, especially in the water! We wish to breed into our dogs the excellent, reliable temperament that is sociable, friendly, loyal and above all else, great with children and other pets. In the years that we have been breeding Labradors we have been working to carefully selecting our sires and dams to better the next generation in temperament and back to the traditional Labradors of the 1950 & 60.

"As an AKC Breeder of Merit participant, you set the standards for all breeders everywhere. You are among an elite group whose love for dogs is unwavering; and it carries through in all you do as a breeder and dog owner. The AKC is proud to have you represent the largest, and most respected registry in the world!"

4worldlovers: “Our first contact with Tia was inquiring about her Bordoodle puppies for sale. We met her the next morning. She was very welcoming but also took great care as this was during the pandemic. Tia showed us three different puppies. We were not allowed to touch or hold the puppies, which was hard but also understandable. Tia was very careful to ensure the puppies were not exposed to any germs and also considerate of momma dog who was missing her puppies for a few minutes. We made our decision on which puppy. They grow and change so fast. Tia texted us pictures and we were able to visit once. Again no touching. We had a great experience and have a wonderful dog.”


“When we first contacted tia about her puppies she was very informative. She asked all the right questions and even called back a few times to make sure a puppy would be a good fit for our family. She took very good care of the puppies. She seemed to have their best interest in mind during every move during the process. Tucker is such an amazing dog and I couldn't be happier with our choice! We are so thankful to have him as a member of our family!”

“Tia is a wonderful breeder as she takes the time to test both parents for genetic defects. She works very hard to preserve the bordoodle breed and educate all future owners to make sure they are a good fit! She is a high communicator and answers all questions thoroughly. Our Yeti girl is very mellow considering the breed and EXTREMELY smart. She taught herself “drop” when playing fetch. Even if she has something yummy in her mouth she will drop it on command! Yeti is AMAZING with our two young kids. She literally lets them do anything to her (wrestle, dress her up, lead her around the backyard, tug-a-war, etc). We’ve never seen her be aggressive. I would highly recommend Tia to anyone interested in getting a bordoodle. You will have no surprises & you’ll be extremely satisfied with her pups!”
