I'm Rose Marie T., the breeder behind Anaquassacook Labradors located in Cambridge, NY. I am a small hobby breeder of English style Labrador Retrievers. I have owned English Labrador Retrievers for over 15 years. My labs are loved as members of the family and enjoy being house dogs. All the Labs in my breeding program are certified for orthopedic soundness through OFA for hips and elbows, eyes are certified through CERF and Optigen.
Q. & A. with Rose Marie
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to create a nice chocolate Labrador Retriever that was easy to live with.
What makes your program special?
My breeding dogs have hips, elbows, heart, eyes, and other congenital clearances before any thought of breeding takes place. Breeding dogs is a serious and intense endeavor that I do to create awesome puppies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
