AVAILABLE PUPPIES
Meet Cocoa
“Playful, excellent retrieving, and affectionate natured”
Dark Hershey chocolate. A name you'll say a hundred times a day and never get tired of. Born December 28, 2025, out of Ginger and Stryker and unlike his younger cousins, he's far enough along that we can tell you exactly who he is.
Here's what we know already.
Cocoa is even-tempered, calm, and eager to please. He's got that rare on/off switch the one that means he can rip through the field all morning and settle at your feet by lunch. The dog you can take anywhere because he reads the room.
What He's Bringing With Him.
From Stryker, his dad: that stunning dark coat, the muscular build, and an intense love for the hunt that shows up the moment his nose hits the wind.
From Ginger, his mom: a sweet personality, a natural point, and the kind of exceptional birdiness you can't train into a dog she either has it or she doesn't, and Cocoa's mom has it in spades.
Ready Now. $2,800.
No waiting list. No deposit-and-wait-six-months. Cocoa is here, he's the dog we've described, and he's ready to come home with the right family.

More about Cocoa!
What He's Bringing With Him.
From Stryker, his dad: that stunning dark chocolate coat, a muscular build, an intense hunting style that turns on the second his nose hits the wind, and a remarkable desire to please that turns training into a partnership instead of a power struggle.
From Ginger, his mom: a sweet, mild-mannered personality, a natural point, strong birdiness, and a deep love for people — the kind of dog who'd rather be near you than anywhere else in the world.
Put it together and you get the dog we were hoping for when we made this pairing: an exceptional family companion AND a versatile hunter. Calm indoors. Lit up in the field. Two dogs in one body, and never the wrong one at the wrong time.
The Grown-Up Picture.
Expect a tall, athletic, dark chocolate male in the 70–80 pound range. Built for long days in the marsh and long evenings on the couch. The kind of dog that walks into a room and people stop what they're doing.
The Scores.
🏡 Housedog potential: 10/10. A perfect score. He'll settle beautifully indoors and be the dog every guest asks about.
🦆 Waterfowl: Perfect retrieve, outstanding overall. Stryker's drive. Ginger's softness with a bird in the mouth.
🐦 Upland: Strong natural pointer, one of the highest birdiness scores in the litter. Some dogs find birds. Cocoa was born wanting to.
Potential House/ Family Dog Score:
10
Potential Waterfowl Dog Score:10
Potential Upland Hunter Score:09
Potential Service Dog Score:09

What sets us apart
Marble Mountain Kennels is a family-owned and operated kennel that ethically produces many outstanding litters a year. We aim to work with you to get a puppy from a desired litter in a timely manner.
We pride ourselves on our customer service, offering opportunities to talk with a real live person throughout the adoption process. This allows us to better understand what you’re looking for in your new canine family member. We produce Labrador retrievers with well-balanced, highly personable dispositions that make terrific house dogs and lifelong companions.
Many of our dogs offer pedigrees boasting of natural hunting instincts that allow them to excel in both the pheasant field and duck blind. While our dogs possess this hunting potential, we’ve bred them throughout the years to make good companion dogs as well. In fact, some of our dogs are now certified therapy dogs, which shows that many of our litters are on the calmer side and make ideal house dogs.
“He's been the best thing that's ever happened to me! Bodie was extremely easy to train and is nothing but a lover. He enjoys snowshoeing, hiking, swimming, paddle boarding, or just being a couch potato! An amazing on/off switch for whether or not I'm feeling lazy or adventurous.”
