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

This breed is also amazing for families and children, and we enjoy providing people with well-bred dogs that they will enrich their lives.What makes your program special?
We focus on breeding dogs that have enough working drive to keep up with our lifestyle, but also have amazing temperaments and can quickly adapt to a calm family setting. We are also passionate about giving back, and we are proud to assist Retrievers for Warriors in providing loving companions for our country's veterans.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?
