UPCOMING LITTER
Oakley x Norman
Puppies Expected Late October 2026
We are excited about this upcoming pairing between Oakley and Norman. Norman is an accomplished AKC Master Hunter, while Oakley brings the loving family disposition, structure, and working ability we value in our Labradors. Both come from pedigrees rich in accomplished field and show Labradors, with extensive health testing and clearances behind this pairing.
We’re expecting puppies in late October 2026 and look forward to seeing what this pairing produces.
THE LABRADORS WE BELIEVE IN
Bred for More Than One Purpose
TEMPERAMENT
Loving, steady, and dependable. Our Labradors are bred to be exceptional family companions with the disposition to fit naturally into everyday life.
ABILITY
Ready when it’s time to go. We value natural drive, trainability, athleticism, and the willingness to work—whether in the field, at the pond, or around the farm.
HEALTH & STRUCTURE
Health comes first. We select proven bloodlines with extensive health testing while also breeding for the sound structure and classic Labrador appearance we value.
Family companion. Hunting partner. A true dual-purpose Labrador.
OUR STORY
More Than 30 Years of Labradors
Summer’s End began more than 30 years ago with my parents, Tom and Vicki Summers, and their love for raising excellent dogs for families and hunters.
Today, my wife and I are proud to carry that legacy forward with our own family. Our program is intentionally small, allowing us to focus on the things that matter most to us: exceptional health, proven bloodlines, classic Labrador temperament, and dogs with the ability to be both wonderful family companions and willing partners in the field.

RAISED THE SUMMER'S END WAY
More Than a Place to Raise Puppies
Our puppies are raised on our family property in Oologah, Oklahoma, surrounded by the everyday sights, sounds, and experiences of country life. With woods, ponds, a creek, open spaces, wildlife, and plenty of family interaction, there is always something for them to explore.

PAST PUPPIES
From Summer’s End to Their Forever Homes
One of the most rewarding parts of raising Labradors is watching our puppies become beloved family companions, hunting partners, and everything in between. We especially love hearing from families as their puppies grow—and seeing many return years later for another Summer’s End Labrador.
