Fonthill · Niagara Region, Ontario

Labrador Retrievers raised with heart. Dogs trained for real life.

Quarryridge is a small, family-run breeder of CKC-registered, health-tested Labradors — and a dog training program for every dog, from first-week puppies to seasoned show dogs.

What we do

Two passions, one family

We breed a few thoughtfully planned litters and spend the rest of our time helping Niagara dogs and their people work as a team.

Meet your breeder & trainer

Hi, I’m Mandy.

I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I trained at Dave McMahon’s Dog Training Academy in 2008, graduated from Northern College as a Veterinary Assistant in 2010 and worked in the veterinary field before starting my family.

In 2022 I registered the Quarryridge kennel name with the Canadian Kennel Club. Today I breed, show and train our Labradors, teach obedience and trick classes, and work one-on-one with dogs through board & train.
