From Cattle to Canines: The Story Behind LC Hunting Labs

Welcome to LC Hunting Labs! We’re so excited to share a bit more about who we are and how our love for Labrador Retrievers turned into something so special. At LC Hunting Labs, we are more than just dog breeders – we’re a family with deep roots in agriculture and animal care, and that’s shaped everything we do with our Labs.

Our Ranching Heritage

I’m Leah Tanner, and I’m proud to be a fifth-generation rancher. Growing up, I worked alongside my siblings, always eager to help our dad wherever we could and soaking up everything he taught us. Ranching has been in our family for generations, and through those early experiences, I learned the value of hard work, care, and respect for the animals we raise. Today, our family continues that tradition at A & B Hill Ranch, where we sell premium beef directly to consumers.


Life on the ranch is about so much more than raising cattle – it’s about family, tradition, and the daily commitment to ensuring our animals are healthy and well-cared for. These same values are what drive LC Hunting Labs today. Working with animals has always been a part of my life, and I love bringing that knowledge and care into breeding and training our Labradors.

How LC Hunting Labs Began

LC Hunting Labs started as a passion project between my brother Caleb and me. We got our first Labrador, Haisley, and immediately knew this was something we wanted to build on. There’s just something special about Labs – their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility – that drew us in. Haisley was the beginning of everything, and from there, LC Hunting Labs took off.

Our Philosophy and Commitment

For us, LC Hunting Labs is about quality and commitment to the well-being of every dog we raise. Just like on the ranch, we believe in providing the best for our animals, and that means focusing on health and temperament. We want every dog that leaves LC Hunting Labs to thrive, whether they’re out in the field hunting or cuddling with their new family.

Every Lab we breed is treated like family. We carefully select breeding lines and prioritize health screenings to ensure that each pup is set up for success. These dogs aren’t just pets – they’re a reflection of our family values and our passion for raising animals with care and respect.


A Family Effort

LC Hunting Labs is truly a family business. Caleb and I may have started it, but everyone plays a part. My husband, parents, and brother are all involved, whether it’s helping with the dogs or running things at the ranch. It’s a team effort, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The ranch and the Labs are deeply connected in my life. The love and dedication we have for the animals on A & B Hill Ranch are the same values we bring to LC Hunting Labs. We believe in raising Labs that are not only amazing hunting partners but also wonderful companions for families.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow, I’m so excited about the future of LC Hunting Labs. I’m constantly learning and refining what we do, always striving to produce the best Labradors possible. From health and temperament to care, our commitment to excellence is at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you for being a part of our journey! Whether you’re welcoming one of our Labs into your family or just following along with us, we appreciate your support. LC Hunting Labs wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible community of dog lovers, hunters, and families who trust us with their four-legged companions. We look forward to many more years of providing exceptional Labs for families and hunters alike!

And don’t forget—A & B Hill Ranch is running a special discount on all beef orders made by 10/31. This is the perfect opportunity to stock up on premium, ranch-raised beef directly from our family to yours!
