Ashland Labradors
Meet the breeder
I'm Teresa G., the breeder behind Ashland Labradors located in Ashland City, TN. Over the years I have been active in many different areas of the dog world from hunt tests, obedience, agility and conformation shows. I have held dog training classes for the public, worked as a field hunt test trainer, vet technician, and ran a Labrador rescue organization for a number of years here in Middle Tennessee.
Q. & A. with Teresa
Why did you start breeding?
My parents bred dogs when I was growing up. Naturally, I followed suit after owning a couple of Labradors and decided to venture into dog sports with them.What makes your program special?
Having the most popular breed, our dedication is making sure to preserve the correct Labrador temperament along with other important attributes and characteristics. Labradors are being heavily overbred, but we take great pride in educating people about the breed and any breed-related issues.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
