I'm Beth J., the breeder behind Fairview Labradors located in Boerne, TX. We strive to breed a good-looking, healthy dog with a delightful temperament, easily trainable, who also likes to hunt birds. We actively compete in conformation, agility, and hunt tests with our dogs. Our dogs are our family and spend most of their lives with us, in our home.
Q. & A. with Beth
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to put our passion toward breeding the highest-quality dogs. Puppies we have produced have gone on to become successful show dogs, obedience and agility competitors, search and rescue dogs, therapy dogs, and happy family pets.
What makes your program special?
Our breedings are predominately from show lines, but also include many performance titles. Our foundation breeders descend from one of the top producing show dogs in history.
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 and a kennel on my property.
