Q. & A. with Kelsey

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As a child when I showed with a family friend I got into breeding to be able to enter more then one dog and be able to enter more events. I switched over to labs in my teen years and have stayed with my hunting breeds. Helping get rid of nasty genetic issues and producing great all around dogs has always been a passion of mine
  • What makes your program special?

    It's a very strict small program, my pups are raised in home and come from completely healthy and great all-around parents. Each pup is handled from the first second,I use my veterinarian technician and training background to give each pup everything they need from the first breath to the time they leave and beyond.I strive hard to produce great puppy's and match the right pup to the right person.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Boykin Spaniel puppies are liver. Labrador Retriever 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.

  • Patellar Luxation
