Fox Red Labrador Retrievers
Finger Lakes Labs are raised with love.
Our dogs live in our home with access to trails and ponds right from our back door.
About Us
Paul & Nicole Alioto
Paul & Nicole adore Fox Reds because of Sarge, the most lovable big Lab anyone could ever hope for. Over the years we became interested in breeding our dogs to share with others the joy that these unique companions give to us each day.
Paul & Nicole work in the education field. We raise and breed our dogs not as a source of income but out of a desire to maintain and improve the best characteristics of Fox Red Labradors. We aspire to see our extended family of pups in great homes with loving people who are committed to their health and happiness for a lifetime.

Happy, Healthy Bloodline
Our initial lines hale from the first breeder of Fox Red English Labradors in the United States, Sally Kelley of Kelleygreen Labradors. Sally began her work in 1964 and continued until 2024 in Fallon, Nevada. Her influence in development of the Fox Red Labrador in the United States is evident in this brief history. Our dogs are screened for Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), hips and elbows. We feed our dogs a kibble blend of Redbarn grain free, Redbarn with grain and Orijen. Each of our dogs is covered with health insurance provided by Healthy Paws.
A "Fur"ever Friend
Our Labs are loyal and affectionate. They are friendly to guests but will defend the homestead from strangers. They love, love, love to swim and fetch. Our dogs remain with us on country hikes off leash where it is safe and there is no possibility of traffic. They can be lovable, playful and goofy and when it's time to go to work they are disciplined and all business. They have good noses and soft mouths and can be trained to track and hunt.
