Meet the breeder
I'm Tonya M., the breeder behind Chara’ Labradors located in Cullman, AL. A few years ago I met my partners while looking for a performance dog . No intentions of breeding or showing .. well that quickly changed and we now show and do performance events . Gary and Anne have been a blessing . We have imported 3 dogs in thr past few years and actively compete in akc events .
Q. & A. with Tonya
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up with dogs so breeding was just something natural for me . I do not breed if I am Not planning on keeping something for myself . With that being said litters are carefully planned and researched before the brewing takes place .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.
