Big League Labradors
Meet the breeder
I'm Kaitlynn M., the breeder behind Big League Labradors located in Athens, AL. Ours labs are bred for health and temperament focusing mainly on conformation and breed standard Labradors. We choose to stay small because our girls are family and we like being able to keep them in our home with us instead of having a lot of dogs in a kennel.
Q. & A. with Kaitlynn
Why did you start breeding?
Well, that’s hard to say. I have always had animals on the farm that have bred. My mom raised dachshunds when I was little but the first time I actually bred a dog and did everything myself was with Pomeranians. I loved the connection I had with my girl. She actually had both of her litters in my lap. I enjoy having puppies in our home and seeing their new owners fall in love with their new baby.What makes your program special?
Our Labradors make our breeding program special. Our girls are the sweetest. Great temperament, great with kids, love the water, show quality, champion bloodlines, health tested and amazing mothers. We also plan to get some of their pups into the show ring next year and become more involved with titles. Our puppies are raised in our home as if they were our child to ensure proper socialization.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
