Brandywine Labradors

Q. & A. with Tonya

• Why did you start breeding?

  Simply put, we have a passion for labrador retrievers. We have seen the joy they can bring to different people, whether it's a young child wanting a playmate, a teenager looking to explore with a buddy, a veteran looking for comfort, or a family with special needs wanting a service dog, you can't beat a labrador retriever. Now that we are retired, we can hopefully give families the same joy that labs have brought us over the years. What started out as a hobby, has grown into a passion. We now work with Puppy Culture, AKC standards, Volhard's Puppy Aptitude Testing, DNA, neurological stimulation and much more. We have grown to appreciate the science that goes into raising a healthy and beautiful puppy as well as the socialization and training needed to produce a puppy with a great temperament.
