I'm Shannon G., the breeder behind Green Acres Labradors located in Franklinton, NC. Our parent dogs are extensively health/genetically tested prior to breeding to insure the best of the breed. They come with a one year health guarantee. We keep our prices reasonable and fair at $1500. Other breeders will charge $2500 or more for specific colors/genders.
Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
I am someone who loves to learn. I love learning about the correct way to breed and how I can make a difference in bettering the breed. I wanted to set an example as to what a responsible breeder looks like.
What makes your program special?
I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, cuteness is guaranteed, and lots of love is always included.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
