Q. & A. with Steve
Why did you start breeding?

We are a family kennel. Only breed one litter at a time, and the pups are whelped and raised in our home. Everyone is involved in the process and we are complimented by puppy buyers in regards to socialization and communication during the process. Every pup born here is raised as if we would keep them forever. They are all special and their health and future is always top of mind here.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our English Cocker Spaniel puppies include liver and white and liver. Labrador Retriever puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
