Bahrking Heights Labradors
Meet the breeder
I'm Marci B., the breeder behind Bahrking Heights Labradors located in Houston, TX. If you are looking for the perfect Lab pup, you have found it! Bahrking Heights Labradors are from a fabulous championship line! We breed our dogs for disposition, work ethic, health, and intelligence... and they are beautiful! Our dogs are great hunters and field trial dogs and make excellent family companions. We live with our animals in Houston during the school year and Colorado during the summers. We can't wait to connect with you!
Q. & A. with Marci
Why did you start breeding?
Our friends kept asking us, "Where can I find a dog as wonderful as yours?" Our dogs are great, and we wanted others to have the same, so we started breeding. We know that great dogs are a combination of genetics and upbringing, so we are picky when choosing a new dog, and we train with love and consistency. We have been breeding for 20 years but have kept things small to control the quality.What makes your program special?
We have a fantastic line of dogs that have become hunting and field trial champions...but basically, we think that dogs are our best companions. Our dogs LOVE to retrieve, swim, run, chill, and most of all, please their owners. Our puppies live in Montana, Colorado, Texas, North Carolina, and many points in between. We must be doing something right...most of our buyers stay in touch and buy a second pup!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
