Water Walker Labs
Father-and-Son Labrador Breeders in the Yakima Valley
It is our sole purpose and passion here at Water Walker Labs to breed, offer, and train some of the finest Labradors and waterfowl dogs available. With over 50 years of Labrador experience, we consider the mental and athletic abilities, as well as the temperament of our dogs, to be of the highest quality.
Purpose
Who we serve
We trust that God will place each dog in the home where it will live its best life. For us, that's usually one of two homes: a hunting family or a family looking for a calm, well-bred companion.
Hunting families
Steady in the blind, strong in the water, and ready to keep working until the bird is in hand. Bred and finished for waterfowl, upland, and shed hunting.
Active families
Some of the most incredible family dogs on the planet. Calm, well-mannered, and loyal, raised to fit right into family life.
Heritage
Mark and Jason Stevenson
Mark has spent over 50 years raising and training Labradors in the Yakima Valley. Jason is now his partner, carrying the bloodline forward as the next generation of Water Walker Labs. We don't breed dogs for profit. We breed to better the breed and to create a bloodline of perfection. Our mission is to share what God has shared with us.
