Elkhart, Indiana · Dual-purpose Labs
Chad and Lori Newcomer raise dual-purpose Labrador Retrievers for hunting partners, hunt-test competitors, and families who want both halves of the dog—without compromise.
Home-raised · AKC · UKC · Super Retriever Series
The kennel
We’re outdoors people who live with Labs every day. We hunt, run hunt tests, and care about the dog that rides home in the truck afterward.
That means dual-purpose bloodlines: talent and drive in the field, beauty and brains at home, and an off switch when the day is done. Pups grow up in our house so the move into yours feels natural.
Our dogs
These are the dogs behind Sycamore litters—proven in the field and trusted at home.
