Meet the breeder

This is where amazing temperament, intelligence, and beauty meet. I look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Terri
Why did you start breeding?
I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; that today’s breeders are the guardians of the future wellbeing of the English Labrador Retriever. I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my award-winning bloodlines, but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that this breed will continue to thrive for generations to come. It is an honor to represent the English Labrador and to create opportunities for others to experience the same.What makes your program special?
At Beach Bum Labradors, we focus on breeding excellence. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. My breeding dogs are proven champions, fully healthy, and genetically cleared. I am passionate about preparing my puppies to thrive in their forever homes, and enjoy mentoring their new families so that they can raise their new, furry companions with confidence and joy.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.
