BRED FOR EXCELLENCE. BUILT ON LEGACY.
About Us
Welcome to Hillstone — where purpose meets place.
What began as a bold family decision to leave behind the bustle of Tampa Bay has transformed into something far more meaningful: a life centered on connection, craftsmanship, and intentional living. We've relocated to the rolling landscapes of Northeast Ohio, trading crowded shorelines for open skies, quiet mornings, and acres of possibility.
Hillstone isn’t just a homestead — it’s a way of life. Here, we raise our child with the freedom to learn through experience, grounded in our belief that curiosity and courage are the best curriculum. We’re building a life that’s hands-on and heart-led — from growing our own food to caring for animals, and of course, raising Labrador Retrievers that reflect the same quality and integrity we bring to everything we do.
We're not just stepping off the beaten path — we’re carving a new one. For families seeking more than the status quo, who value heritage, health, and high standards, Hillstone offers something rare: thoughtfully bred Labradors raised with intention, socialization, and love — right alongside us on our homestead.
This is Hillstone. A new kind of legacy, built from the ground up.
Exceptional Care
At Hillstone Labradors, we prioritize the health and well-being of our dogs. Our breeding program follows the highest standards, focusing on genetic health, temperament, and conformation. All of our dogs are health tested, and have OFA clearances available. We are dedicated to producing healthy, happy, and well-adjusted puppies and happy to share any and all results. Our dogs are under the care of Kirtland Veterinary Hospital and North Ridge Animal Hospital, a preeminent practice in reproduction and veterinary advancement.
Sold By Reservation
Interested in a puppy from us? Contact us. It's a great opportunity to ask questions, and understand the care and commitment involved in owning a Labrador Retriever.
We can also let you know how to make a deposit on an upcoming litter. We only breed with intention of keeping a puppy ourselves to show and breed, so puppies will be selected at 8 weeks. They will be up to date on shots and health, microchipped, and leave with a contract outlining health guarantee and return to us should the need ever arise. All dogs from Hillstone are welcome back for their lifetime.
Raised with Intention
All of our puppies participate in the
Bio Sensor Program. We have found great success with it in our prior breed and while volunteering at Southeastern Guide Dogs. Hillstone Labradors utilizes Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and takes great care to allow all of our puppies to thrive with plenty of intentioned socialization, exposure to sensory experiences, and participation in early training. Living on a farm allows them tons of experiences outdoors, and amongst homeschool friends and many animals. All of this allows them to be at ease in their future homes.
