Planned Labrador Retriever litter
Due June 2026
I'm Kalisha B., the breeder behind Ancient Dogges Performance Dogs located in Morrilton, AR. My breeding goal is to produce top quality working dogs. I specialize in providing trained and started puppies, and offer far more training than a typical breeder.

Why did you start breeding?
What makes your program special?
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Where do your breeding dogs live?

Kalisha has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Kalisha partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.
"We do temperament testing, and combined with the information from screening homes, we assign puppies"

"These prices reflect the parents' health testing, the puppy health guarantee, go home basket, and training (More training equals higher price, of course). Deposits can be transferred to a different puppy, or litter up until your assigned puppy turns 12 weeks old."
Kalisha may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Kalisha offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Kalisha directly.
You can drive or fly to pick up your puppy from Kalisha.

Fresh bedding, and angry puppies in a pile. 👀👀👀 It took them approximately 1 minute to calm down, and spread out comfortably into a nice, neat little line of sorts, sleeping peacefully. Individual photoshoot coming right up, I swear!

We've been having horrible weather, and dealing with damages from the storm, so we are very sorry we haven't ended up getting photos up to date after all! It's *supposed to be* good weather tomorrow, though, so I am planning to do this week's photos tomorrow, outdoors, where it's easier to get great photos. If it ends up being bad weather again anyway, then I will just do indoor photos again tomorrow anyhow. And this time regardless of any red eye issues if I have to use the flash, I will still just update photos, so we aren't ending up with a whole missed week again on accident. 🤦🏼♀️
