Meet the breeder
I'm Victoria R., the breeder behind Bristol Bay Labradors located in Harris County, TX. We are passionate, ethical breeders that focuses on preserving, protecting, and maintaining the standards of this magnificent breed. All of our dogs are hand raised in our home with love. We do extensive health (DNA, hips, elbows, eyes, heart, etc) testing on all parents before breeding. We breed only when we want to add to our own dogs (usually every 18-36 months) We compete ina number of AKC activities, including conformation, hunt, rally, some obedience. We have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability!
Q. & A. with Victoria
Why did you start breeding?
It was a dream of my late husband's and I to breed Labs that would be enjoyed in our home, hunting with us in Alaska and meeting the huge variety of people we deal with each day. Starting with two great yellow 'girls' that came from sounds breeding programs on the East Coast we entered the arena of training and showing. From there, after a number of years and study we started breeding for the traits we value...healthy, well mannered, smart, loving dogs.What makes your program special?
We are focused first on the health and temperaments of our dogs. We regularly test our dogs for health issues, reporting to a national clearing house for verification. Our litters are planning months, if not years, in advance keeping our desire to improve the breed always in mind. Our puppies area raised right in our home and spend their entire time interacting with our household, not out in a kennel. We also support our new puppy owners with information, answering questions once they get home, and advice as they grow into a loved member of their families.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
