Q. & A. with Trish
Why did you start breeding?
Our kennel was established in 2002. This is not a business to us. Calizona Labs is our way to share our love for this incredible breed with others who appreciate it just as much as we do! Our dogs have brought so much fulfillment and love into our lives, and it is a privilege to create opportunities for other families to experience just the same! We start training pups at 3 days old.What makes your program special?
We are premier breeders. Our dogs are AKC registered, purebred Labradors with impressive lineage. They are fully healthy and excellent representations of the breed standard! Our commitment to you is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience; and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include silver, charcoal, yellow, black, chocolate, fox red, and champagne. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
