A few months ago, my husband and I had to put our beloved 11 year old black lab to sleep. Needless to say, we were devastated. My husband said he wasn't ready for a puppy, but somehow the Lord led me to seek out Nina, a wonderful lady who not only understood our grief, but was quite willing to let us just visit her kennel. It didn't take long for my husband to see a black puppy that we came hom...(trimmed)

Love the labs, we have two of our own and through all of the trials and tribulations, I wouldn't change having a lab for anything in the world. They are a class act dog. It's nice to see a breeder with such a great reputation. Keep up the great breeding and making beautiful dogs!

We bought our yellow/golden lab, Jackson, from Nina about 9 months ago. He has turned out to be a georgeous looking labrador. He is sincerely loyal, gentle, listens well and of course lovable. Nina was terrific through the adoption process, I would highly recommend her to any lab lover.

My boyfriend, Justin and I bought a female silver lab, Sage, from Mrs. Nina a few months ago and I was a little nervious at first not really have much knowledge of silver labs and buying dogs on the internet. But I have to say that Mrs. Nina was very caring and she was willing to answer any questions I had about her litters. Sage has turned out to be one of my best dogs I have owned before.

We thought it would be great for Mick to have a brother so we called upon our friend Nina again to help us out. Brando came to us in May and what a sweet guy he is. Now that he is a little over 4 months old we laugh so much just watching them play. Thanks again Nina for our boys.

Our little girl, who just turned 1 in April, has been the light of our lives. We decided that she needed a brother or sister. We brought our little guy home on Friday and they are great together! Knowing how Tehva is, I am sure that Nimosh will be just as good. He's an adventurous little one, but has become quite comfortable in his new home. Thanks Nina!

When I lost Chance, by beloved 11 year old lab, I didn't think I would be ready for another for a long time. I always felt God had brought us together because I bought a raffle ticket and "Chance" was my prize. Nina must have a sixth sense when it comes to finding the right family for her puppies. As soon as she brought Libby to me, I knew we were destined to be together. Everyone who meets Li...(trimmed)

We have a black lab from Nina, named Rocky. He is beautiful and the love of my life. I knew that he came from a loving home and I would recommend her to anyone. She is constantly asking about Rocky and loves to hear about all of the other puppies that she sold. She provided me and my boyfriend's family with the most precious thing in our lives. Thanks Nina for everything...you're great!

Nina was recommended to us by several people who have her dogs. We got Mick in October and I think I have a wonder dog. He is loving and so easily trained its hard to believe a puppy not even four months old can pick up on what he does. Everyone asks us where we got him because he so beautiful and smart. If you are looking to enlarge your family give Nina a call.

We got our 2nd lab from Nina in October 2006 so our Chocolate Lab would have a companion. I can't express enough how much we love our puppy Colby. Him and Logan are together every second. I really thought something was wrong with him at first because he is so calm and gentle. But we've just decided we bought our first "perfect" puppy! We wouldn't go anywhere else for a lab! Thanks Nina. Happy Hol...(trimmed)

Discovering Velvet Angel Labs has truly been a blessing. I have made a life-long friend, and have added three new members to our family-silver"Cabela",and charcoal sisters "Brooke"&"Bailey".

After a bad experience with another local breeder, my extended family has adopted two of Nina's puppies. My charcoal male, Enzo, (1yr) has a beautiful coat and personality to match. My cousin's yellow female, Sahara, (15mos) is maturing into a lovely young lady. I have, and will continue to reccommend Nina to anyone looking for a lab.

We got Deegan over Thanksgiving 2005. He gets so many compliments for being such a well-behaved dog, but he has us completely wrapped around his little paw. Nina continues to check-in with us and it's nice to know that Deegan comes from such a nice family. Thank you, Nina, for a professional, yet personal puppy experience.

We found Nina's angels in June with the intention of only looking. The charcoal pups were too adorable to pass up and one came home with us. Our little girl is the light of our lives. She is extremely smart, listens well and is learning a lot. She has her own little personality and a lot of love to give. Withougt Nina's care for her dogs, our baby wouldn't be who she is today.

We bought a red lab from Nina and we just love him. Nina is a knowledgeable breeder and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a lab. She cares alot about her dogs and it shows. She kept us informed of the litters she had and what she had available. Again, I would recommend her.

A few months ago, my puppy Isabel June got out of my back yard and ran away. I was devastated, she was not only my pet, she was my best friend. I thought to go visit my aunt Nina and her dogs to try and keep my mind off of Isabel. My aunt's kennel is warm and the dogs are loving, they make me smile everytime I'm there. That's when I found my little man Remington. I saw him when he was only a couple weeks old. He's a silver lab and he is gorgeous. It was love at first sight. He had this cute little fuzzy head and blue puppy eyes. I went home and told my boyfriend Frankie about him. After that my aunt Nina let us come visit once a week until we could bring him home. We have had him for 9 days now and he is doing so well. Remi goes up and down the steps, does his business outside, and sits when you tell him. He is very intelligent and an great puppy to have around. He allways makes us laugh. I don't know how to thank my aunt enough. I love you aunt Nina, God bless.
