Q. & A. with Shalina
Why did you start breeding?
I have a true passion for the Labrador Retriever and I am in awe at how versatile these animals can be! They make great pet/family members and are so willing an eager to learn, train, and please! I do this and got into breeding for my love and desire to improve the Lab, it is a pure joy to me!What makes your program special?
Duck Creek Kennels is proud to say we are one of the few kennels in the country to test more than what is recommended in testing the health of our labs. We go above and beyond by completing a FULL genetic panel. Color Coat, and dilute, OFA hip, elbows, eye, and cardiac exams on every dog we own. By health testing our labs so thoroughly we can soundly say our labs are healthy.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our 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.
