Hi, I'm Joanah — the owner and breeder behind Moonlight Kennels LLC.
I’ve been raising dogs since I was 14 years old, starting with Rat Terriers alongside my mom. I continued breeding on my own until I got married, then took time off to raise my children. Regular jobs never quite fit, and childcare was a challenge — so I followed my heart back to dogs.
My husband had a Labrador when we first got married, a loyal duck-hunting companion who left a lasting impression. It took time to grieve his loss, but eventually, with God’s guidance and a lot of prayer, we felt ready to welcome Labradors back into our lives. That’s how Moonlight Kennels began — with faith, dedication, and a dream.
Over the years, I’ve poured myself into research, hands-on care, and ethical breeding practices.
We now use Embark genetic testing and OFA certifications to ensure our dogs are healthy, sound, and well-suited for both companionship and performance. Our Labradors carry strong pedigrees, natural hunting instincts, and a deep drive to please.
I’m proud of what we’ve built — and excited for what’s ahead. Moonlight Kennels is more than a business. It’s a calling, a legacy, and a reflection of everything I believe in — a dream in motion.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.”
— Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)

At Moonlight Kennels, we believe every puppy deserves the healthiest start possible — and that means more than just good food and love. That’s why we proudly recommend NuVet Plus, a veterinarian-grade supplement designed to:
• Protect against environmental toxins and free radicals
• Strengthen developing immune systems
• Support bone, joint, and coat health
Every puppy is born with an immature immune system. NuVet Plus helps bridge the immunity gap from birth to 2 years, giving your puppy the best chance at lifelong health.
We’ve seen the difference NuVet makes in our litters — vibrant energy, strong development, and beautiful coats. It’s part of our commitment to raising puppies that thrive.

🐾 How We Raise Our Puppies at Moonlight Kennels
At Moonlight Kennels, raising puppies is a full-time calling — not just a business. Every litter is born into a home filled with love, structure, and intentional care. From day one, we’re hands-on with every pup, ensuring they grow up healthy, confident, and ready to thrive in their forever homes.
🌱 Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
We begin ENS exercises from day one, following proven protocols that gently stimulate each puppy’s neurological development. These daily routines help build resilience, reduce stress responses, and lay the foundation for confident, well-adjusted dogs.
🐶 Safe Socialization
Our puppies are safely exposed to other dogs, animals, and everyday sounds in a controlled, nurturing environment. We believe early exposure builds trust and curiosity — not fear. Whether it’s meeting a gentle adult Lab or hearing the vacuum for the first time, every experience is designed to be positive and age-appropriate.
🎥 24/7 Monitoring & Support
Even when we can’t be physically present, our puppies are never alone. We use cameras to monitor every litter, ensuring safety and comfort around the clock. This allows us to respond quickly to any need and gives us peace of mind — and yours.
🚚 Personal Delivery & Ongoing Connection
We’re personally present at every delivery, whether it’s local or across state lines. We don’t outsource this moment — it’s part of our promise. We also stay connected long after your puppy goes home. We’re always happy to send updates, answer questions, or share photos. Our families become part of the Moonlight community, and we’re here for you every step of the way.
At Moonlight Kennels, we’ve built our Nursery with one goal in mind: to give every puppy — and every mama — a safe, peaceful, and nurturing environment from birth to go-home day.
🐾 Dedicated Puppy Nursery
All of our puppies are born in a private nursery space, completely separate from our adult dogs and daily activity areas. This fenced-off zone ensures that moms feel secure and relaxed during labor and early bonding. It’s quiet, clean, and temperature-controlled — a sanctuary for new life.
🏠 Spacious Kennels with Room to Grow
As puppies grow, they transition into 10x10 indoor-outdoor kennels equipped with doggie doors. This setup allows moms and pups to move freely between cozy indoor bedding and safe outdoor play. It’s the perfect environment for early potty training and exploration.
🚽 One Step from Crate Trained
By the time our puppies go home, they’ve already begun potty training routines and are familiar with crate-like sleeping spaces. This makes the transition to your home smoother and less stressful — for both puppy and family.
We believe great health starts with great nutrition. That’s why all of our dogs — from playful puppies to hardworking adults — are fed The Pride Dog Food, a trusted brand known for its quality, consistency, and performance.
🐕 Adult Dogs: High Performance Formula (27/20)
Our adult Labradors thrive on The Pride High Performance 27/20, which contains:
• 27% protein to support lean muscle and energy
• 20% fat for endurance, coat health, and sustained stamina
This formula is ideal for active dogs, breeding females, and stud males. It keeps our adults strong, shiny, and ready for work or play.
🐶 Puppies: Puppy Growth Formula (30/20)
Our puppies are started on The Pride Puppy Growth 30/20, which provides:
• 30% protein for rapid growth and development
• 20% fat to support brain function, immunity, and healthy weight gain
We’ve seen firsthand how The Pride supports vibrant coats, steady energy, and strong development — and we’re proud to recommend it to all our puppy families.
Families trust Moonlight Kennels for healthy, well-socialized Labradors raised with care, faith, and integrity. Their heartfelt words reflect the joy our puppies bring into homes and the dedication behind our program.
