Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because of my passion for the Labrador Retriever breed and the process of raising a healthy, happy litter of puppies. I aim to do what is right by the breed to improve the quality, longevity, and health of the breed. I also train my own dogs for hunting and utilize the AKC hunt tests to validate my bloodlines and the dogs' natural abilities and trained skills.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
