Q. & A. with Bryan and Gina
Why did you start breeding?
Labradors are such an intelligent, loyal, friendly, adorable, biddable, great-tempered breed. That is why they are the most popular breed of dog in the world! Our family, consisting of our 8 children, and 9 grandchildren, have been tremendously blessed to have owed labs for the past 25+ years. We feel that Labrador Retrievers are just a part of our family's DNA!
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are our family members. They will never be out at the back of the property in cages, alone and unattended but rather in our home watching TV with us, hanging out with us as we enjoy our family, daily activities, Sunday lunches, or enjoying the blessing of our farm together.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
