Meet the breeder
I'm Judith G., the breeder behind Dark Moon Kennels located in Elko County, NV. I raise and train Labrador Retrievers and Beagles as scent dogs for government programs as well as private handlers and the occasional sports dog companion. I focus on workability, drive, health, and temperament. I work hard to provide quality working dogs. Without good health and temperament it doesn't matter how much they want to do their job. And without workability and drive no matter how healthy they are you can't depend on them with your life or livelihood.
