Our puppies are raised and handled from birth to ensure they get all the love needed to grow into well-rounded and socialized pups. They are taught from a young age that people are kind, dogs are friends, and that the world is a safe place.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Labrador Retriever puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
