Q. & A. with EMCO
Why did you start breeding?
Corey had a male lab named Tucker, and Rachel had a female lab named River. When we met, we both had an interest in breeding labs and made the decision to breed Tucker and River! It was something we both always wanted to do, and everything finally came together! We are looking ahead to future and now hope to grow our fur family and continue breeding loving and quality pups for years to come!What makes your program special?
We are a very family oriented breeder! We take pride in showing our puppies as much love and attention as we can. Our puppies will be very used to being around children and other dogs. We hope to stay in contact with all the families who get a puppy from us, and continue to watch them grow!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.
