Meet the breeder
I'm Luke S., the breeder behind Copper Clover Labradors located in Knightdale, NC. We are a small family breeder of fox red (yellow) Labrador Retrievers. All of our dogs are OFA and genetically health tested. The goal of my program is to produce the perfect family pet. We have show lines and working lines, and some of our dogs are certified therapy dogs as well.
Q. & A. with Luke
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up with an extremely sick, temperamental rescue dog. When I found out I could breed healthy dogs that wouldn't have any of the problems that my dog had, I was sold. Through my dog training, I discovered Puppy Culture, which helps give my puppies a confident and curious personality.What makes your program special?
Since I am also a dog trainer, I do my best to get them prepared to come home. I give them a head start on potty training, crate training, and clicker training. I desensitize them to fireworks, thunderstorms, etc. They also get introduced to water and lots of people. I want to give you the most well-rounded pup possible.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
