Q. & A. with Alicia
Why did you start breeding?
I was exposed to breeding through my mentors in field training. I have always had an interest in pedigree research. The breeder I got my first working female from helped me select a sire and raise my first litter.What makes your program special?
I select health tested, and proven working lines for the field. Breeding for drive, intelligence, and trainability. I introduce the puppies to as many surfaces, sounds, and experiences as I safely can to produce confident individuals with a desire to learn. New owners who willing to put in the time and consistency, should find them easy to train for hunting, SAR, and dog sports/competition.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Edie, mom
Labrador Retriever
About Edie
Edie is the consummate "people pleaser." She is a very good marker and a strong blind runner. A real team player. Edie displays style and drive in the field, but is content to sleep under my desk at the office the rest of the time. Won at 41 dog Field Trial Qualifying Stake in MN, summer 2023 and won a smaller Owner/Handler Qualifying Stake in NE, summer 2025, which we won in exciting fashion. One of my favorite memories with her. I also use Edie for pheasant hunting.
