A friend of mine breeds Labs; Yellow, Chocolate, Black...
He Own's "Muddy Dog Outdoor Gear and Ammo" and has been breeding them for ~20 years.
I couldn't be happier with our Yellow Lab "Angus" and I'm pretty sure his ##### "Maggie" was bred in the last few weeks.
Shoot me a PM if you want his Phone # or just Google it.
Cheers

Hard to recommend anyone until you define a little more what you are looking for. Are you looking for a field trial champion, show champion, obedience champion, hunt test champion, top-shelf meat dog (waterfowl or upland - flushing or pointing). Is the dog going to be both a house pet as well as working dog? Additionally you need to determine other characteristics such as drive, temperament, looks, size, trainability, etc.
Word to the wise, price is generally a good indicator of quality but there are many, many "breeders" selling junk dogs for +$1000.

My recommendation is if you want a lab get one from a good kennel.
Make sure you get papers and a guarantee on the hips. You won't take the dog back for a refund, but the kennel's reputation is riding on its guarantee.
Field or show background is next.
We went show route and got a beautiful lab from Corhampton Kennels in Parry Sound.
Be prepared to pay $2,000.
Good luck

Good people, nice dogs. Got mine from them a couple years ago. Guaranteed hips and elbows, ckc and akc registered. Price was a good point too. I think their normal proce at the time was $1000, but i got him for $700. I got my boy for a little cheaper because he was the last pup from a litter, and nobody wanted him because he was black
and they had a new litter expected at any moment. I still remember them telling me that they breed large, strong working dogs, and he's no exception. He's lean, fit and muscular, and tips the scales at anout 90 pounds.
These pics are from a couple years ago, before he was full grown He's a beast...

In addition to hips it is also critical with a Lab to ensure the eyes, elbows, & EIC are certified (take the time to confirm it yourself on offa.org - it's free).
Run away from any breeder who does not certify the above as well as offer a health guarantee - which guarantees the health of the dog for 2 years and comes with a full purchase refund as well as placement and/or correction costs.

there are a lot of people who dont know about the fox red coloration of yellow labs and to tell you the truth its a pain in the ass. not to brag (well, maybe a little
), but our 2.5 year old is constantly getting compliments because she is a great looking dog, very fit, and is full of personality. but, its hard convincing some people that she is in fact a CKC registered yellow because of her color. most just say im full of it and say she is crossed with something.the red is slightly darker than you see in the pic, but you get the idea. she came from silver d kennels in nanticoke for $650. i got her for $300 from a couple when she was 3 months old.
guess i better add the pic....
Great posts on here. Clearances are absolutely critical and anyone who tells you that it's a Pure bred but not papered is not in it for the right reasons. Remember to look at the conformation characterisitics to some extent even if your main focus is working. The coat is very important and there are many labs nowadays that have coats more akin to Weimie's etc. - too short for late season without protection. Attend some local field trials and conformation shows and see what you like. You also have to remember that the energy level you would love in the field will also be present for the rest of the year - that can mean a headache if you're not ready for it. We breed for conformation as well as hunting quality and capability just as a lab should be in our hunble opinion.
