Q. & A. with Alanna
Why did you start breeding?
In 2013, After we lost my 10-year-old Lab from arthritis, Millie was purchased and made into a duck/dove dog. Then, in 2013 Millie became the founding dog to our 3M Labrador Breeding program. She became a very popular dog for our friends that loved to hunt. We love the “old school” American Labrador look from 50 years ago, and that is where we try to focus our program.
What makes your program special?
We take pride in our reputation by making each family a part of ours. It is not just a business, it is a family. Each dog means something to us, and we want the families to enjoy their puppies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Labrador Retriever puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Miniature Schnauzer puppies include white, parti, black, salt and pepper, and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
