I'm Tati G., the breeder behind Gunpowder & Lead Labradors located in Cameron, TX. We offer exceptional Labs that excel as family companions AND as hunters! We breed both to provide families with loving and capable companions and to improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits with each generation. We hope to preserve this breed's wonderful traits and offer awesome dual-purpose dogs.
Q. & A. with Tati
Why did you start breeding?
I ( Tati) always have had an outrageous amount of love for animals. I’ve always dreamed about being a veterinarian. After loosing a few of my pets I decided I couldn’t be a person to put down someone else’s animal. I have always loved the Labrador retriever and after researching for many years I decided I wanted to make families happy with a well bred & healthy family member rather than taking one
What makes your program special?
Our program is special and stands out from the rest because there’s not many breeders that are die hard hunters but also understand the important aspects of the Labrador retrievers standard. We breed for show lines that have the qualities of a great family dog, correct conformation for the ring, and active drive for the field.
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.
