Meet the breeder
I'm Erica F., the breeder behind FitzGerald Kennels located in Yamhill, OR. Erica FitzGerald is the owner and operator of FITZGERALD KENNELS in Yamhill, Oregon and breeds Labrador Retrievers an Multigenerational Australian Labradoodles She lives on a 45 acre horse farm with her husband and 3 daughters. She has been breeding Lab puppies for 23 years and is very proud of the many outstanding family dogs she has bred. She has worked hard to produce what she believes are the perfect “family dog”. She tries to keep her Labs smaller in size to help with genetic health so they do not generally exceed 80 pounds. Her dogs are noted for their calm, gentle, loyal and obedient temperaments. Genetic health is very important to her and she makes every effort to ensure that she safeguards her pups against anything controllable when breeding, so all parentage is DNA verified and fully genetic tested, including OFA and PENN. She welcomes you to the farm to meet her wonderful dogs in person before selecting a puppy.
