Fox Red Lab Puppies for Atlanta Families

Although we are based in Middle Tennessee, many families from the Atlanta area make the drive to us for their new puppy. Why? Because they know the right breeder makes all the difference.

By raising our puppies in a small, family-centered program, we’re able to hand-raise each litter with daily care and early socialization.

Over the years, many Georgia families have shared how traveling to Tennessee was more than worth it. They often tell us that the exceptional quality of our puppies, along with how seamlessly they adapt into family life, makes the short trip from Atlanta more than worthwhile.

The early socialization and one-on-one attention our pups receive prepare them to step into their new homes with confidence — whether that means playing in the backyard, joining family walks through Chastain Park, or relaxing quietly indoors.

What is a Fox Red Labrador?

A Fox Red Labrador isn’t a separate breed — it’s a variation of the yellow Labrador, distinguished by its deep, rich red coat. The American Kennel Club (AKC) still classifies these dogs as yellow, but their coat color can range from a warm russet to a striking, dark red. This unique coloring is the result of genetic modifiers that enhance the yellow pigment, called phaeomelanin.

The Fox Red coat has a long history within the Labrador breed. In the early 20th century, darker yellow Labradors were common, particularly among hunting lines prized for their work in the field. Over time, lighter yellow shades became more popular in show rings, but the rich red tones never disappeared.

In recent decades, dedicated breeders in the U.S. helped revive interest in Fox Red English Labradors. Today, this shade is celebrated for its beauty and the classic English Labrador temperament: loyal, gentle, and highly trainable.

History of the Fox Red Labrador Retriever

The Fox Red Labrador is a distinguished variation of the English Labrador, known for its deep, rich red coat and gentle, loyal temperament. Here's a brief history of this remarkable breed:

1800s – Newfoundland Origins: Labrador Retrievers originated in Newfoundland, Canada, assisting fishermen with retrieving nets and fish.
Early 1900s – English Development: British breeders imported Labradors from Newfoundland, selectively breeding for stockier builds, calmer temperaments, and show-quality features.
Mid-1900s – Emergence of Fox Red: Within English lines, a darker shade of yellow Labs appeared, giving rise to the Fox Red variation prized for its unique coloring.
Late 1900s – Growing Popularity: Fox Red Labs gained recognition among breeders and enthusiasts, especially for family homes and show competitions.
Today – Escalante English Labradors: We focus on breeding healthy, well-socialized Fox Red English Labs, maintaining the breed’s historical traits while producing loyal and loving companions.
