I'm Cynthia Z., the breeder behind Beacon's Flat-Coated Retrievers located in Lawton, OK. Our goal is to ensure every dog that comes from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life. We help ensure that each pup is well prepared for its future role when it leaves our care.
Q. & A. with Cynthia
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had dogs in my life, so my love for dogs was already great. When I originally purchased my first FCR, I had no intention of showing, breeding, etc., I just wanted a companion and I thought Flat-Coats were gorgeous. But, under the years of teaching, guidance and blessing from my original breeder, I got into it breeding. She taught me so very much about dogs, more than I ever knew.
What makes your program special?
I don't know if my program is special. But I put in LOTS and LOTS of hours with the puppies. I start them very early with ENS (early neurological stimulation) and it just goes from there. Puppies get lots of daily attention along with activities to introduce them to different challenges. My goal is to send home a puppy that will become a well-adjusted member of the family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
