Viola F.

Breeder of Labrador Retrievers and Dilute Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm Viola F., the breeder behind Best Kept Labs, Air Dogs & Training, LLC located in Campobello, SC. Located in Campobello, SC in the Northwest side of the State. My dogs have lives outside of having puppies. We compete & spend time enjoying life. When we have puppies, we do not travel & risk our mommas & babies being exposed to anything. Their health & happiness are my first priority.

Q. & A. with Viola

  • Why did you start breeding?

    A gray dog came into my life at a very traumatic time for me. I say often that she saved me. I wanted to pay that Blessing forward and was fortunate enough to have good breeders help me learn to do it right.
  • What makes your program special?

    My 1st priority is a good quality of life for my dogs. If I do not have puppies, we compete, travel & spend time playing in our fenced yard. My puppies are loved from before birth & good forever homes are extremely important. Puppies kept for my breeding program have both PennHip & OFAs done at 2. Both Paw Print Genetics Labrador Disease Panels (Essential & Supplemental) are done by age 2 months.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Labrador Retriever puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Dilute Retriever puppies include silver and charcoal. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
