Q. & A. with Jill
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to be able to share how amazing our dogs are with others looking into getting a Lab. It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live and work with these wonderful dogs. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!
What makes your program special?
We take pride in not only the temperament of our puppies, but also their health. We put a lot of time and tears into making sure our puppies are as healthy and happy as they can be as well as making sure they are very well socialized and desensitized also. We are confident that each one of our puppies will grow to be treasured family members!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include silver, yellow, black, chocolate, and fox red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
