My Breeding Program

 

As a responsible breeder, my goal is to breed to improve while preserving the traits unique to the Labrador Retriever. This means selective breeding for soundness—both in structure and temperament, and for health. Proper soundness and health enables the dog to be versatile, true to it's breed. Careful planning goes into selecting parents, for it's their offspring that will enhance my breeding program in the future. Before being considered as parents, I ensure that the dogs meet the AKC breed standard for Labrador Retrievers and complete health clearances recommended by the National Labrador Retriever Club. Simply, well-bred Labradors make good family pets.


With over 15 years of experience, I take pride in my breeding program. It has consistently produced friendly, all-around Labradors for many families. In turn, I have formed long-term friendships with many of their owners. My Labradors have demonstrated their ability to be good workers from therapy dogs to retrieving gun dogs, from performance sports to the show ring, yet easy-going to be lovable companions. If you're interested in finding a companion with enough affection for the entire family, feel free to contact me!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What's included with a puppy?

    All of my puppies have a veterinarian examination, microchipped, and their first vaccinations before being placed. All puppies are sold on a limited AKC registration. And I'll always be available to answer any questions and concerns you have as your puppy grows. 


    You can view the pedigree of any of my puppies. Parents are all AKC registered; several with their AKC championship titles. Parents have completed their health clearances with results listed in the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) database.  

  • Is the puppy socialized?

    My puppies are raised in the house exposed to people, pets, and sounds of family life. As they mature, the puppies experience interactions with strangers—friends and family visiting the farm, and with cats, chickens, and other animals on the farm. Positive encounters such as these help develop confident and happy puppies.


    It's important to continue socializing your puppy particularly during the first three months of its life. To learn how to do this properly, read AKC How to Raise a Confident Puppy.
