Q. & A. with Tina
Why did you start breeding?
I regularly participate in field and hunting trials and started breeding to continue and improve upon my prized Labrador lines. It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the breed. My Labs win in various show avenues and, most importantly, in homes as loving family members.What makes your program special?
I take great pride in training some of the finest duck dogs in the country for the duck hunting enthusiast. In addition, many of my dogs compete for titles in both the AKC and UKC hunt tests. All of my sires and dams are health tested for hips, eyes, elbows, EIC (Exercise-Induced Collapse), CNM (Centronuclear Myopathy), and dilute coloring. I am dedicated to continuing my phenomenal bloodlines in an effort to provide others with loving, healthy, and happy puppies.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 and a kennel on my property.
