Sycamore Kennels · Elkhart, Indiana
Home-raised Labrador Retrievers for people who hunt, compete, and live with their dogs. Titled bloodlines. Real temperaments. Real family.
Our story
Chad and Lori Newcomer run Sycamore Kennels because they live for time outdoors with Labrador Retrievers—and they want dogs that can finish a day in the field and still be the best company at home.
AKC, UKC, and Super Retriever Series. Pups raised in the house. Bloodlines chosen for talent, drive, beauty, brains, and manners.
