Our Philosophy
Bred with intention. Placed with care.
Meet the Breeder
Ark Angel Labradors and Noah’s Ark School for Dogs is owned and run by master trainer Jen Van Schoick, a breeder of Labrador retrievers and dachshunds in Jackson, New Jersey. We show our dogs in conformation, and do obedience training, fieldwork and companions. We offer training for the dogs we sell. We have chocolate, black, and yellow lab puppies for sale.
Arks Angels certifies all dogs with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) before they are bred with OFA preliminaries or OFA certification. We also give a hip and eye guarantee.
At Ark Angel Labradors we are dedicated to producing only the best aspects of the TRUE Labrador Retriever. We are VERY active in showing our dogs at their AKC Championships. We currently have three AKC CHAMPIONS and two more about to be finished. Our puppies are home raised in our deluxe whelping room with heated floors for the pups comfort. They are socialized and handled daily to create THE PERFECT FAMILY PET. Parents are OFA certified, including hips, heart, and elbows.
Every litter at Ark Angel Labradors begins with a question: is this pairing good for the breed, and good for the families who will welcome these puppies home? We breed in small numbers, prioritize structure and temperament true to the English Labrador standard, and complete every health clearance available before a single pairing is planned.
We stay involved for the life of the dog. Every Ark Angel puppy leaves with a health guarantee, a starter education in the foundations we teach at Noah’s Ark School for Dogs, and an open line back to us — always.

Our Training Academy
Noah’s Ark School for Dogs
Alongside our breeding program, we run Noah’s Ark School for Dogs — a training academy offering puppy foundations, obedience, and manners work for family companions of every breed, not only ours. Every Ark Angel puppy goes home already started on this path.

Recognition
A record we’re quietly proud of.
Our breeding program has been honored with an Award of Merit at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, and our work has been featured in coverage by NBC News. We don’t lead with it — the dogs, and the families who’ve welcomed them home, do the talking.
