EverOak Labradors
Meet the breeder
I'm Tammy A., the breeder behind EverOak Labradors located in Hickory, NC. Our Labradors are bred to the standard. We love Labradors for their easy-going temperaments, unconditional love, and loyalty. We live on 25 acres in the foothills of the NC mountains. We are surrounded by God's beauty of trees, four season flowers, multiple variations of fruit trees, and berry bushes. It is the perfect place to set a foundation for your puppies' life.
Q. & A. with Tammy
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to put our passion for Labradors to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine.What makes your program special?
We are not a commercial breeder or kennel; our dogs are part of our family and live inside our home. We truly love our puppies and know you will, too! We pride ourselves on helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
