Q. & A. with Brittany
Why did you start breeding?
I have owned Labrador Retrievers since I was very young. My passion for the breed, in particular, the American Labrador Retriever grows each and every day. The intelligence, compassion, dedication, drive, and loyalty are what drives me to the breed. My goal is to improve the breed and keep the American Labrador Retrievers alive!
What makes your program special?
I require each sire and dam to be completely health tested clear of all genetic health diseases. I also require all of our breeding dogs to have accomplished in some sort of venues such as hunting, scent detection, tracking, and obedience. We ask for references from all prospective buyers, we are focused on providing loving and safe homes for each of our puppies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
