Q. & A. with Rhonda
Why did you start breeding?
My focus is to produce the best dogs of the highest quality so that other families can also enjoy the love of a Lab while also having an exceptional therapy dog. It has been an absolute joy of a journey so far, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
I take my role as a responsible breeder very seriously. My ultimate goal is to produce healthy, well-structured canines that are perfect for service homes. When I bring a life into the world, I make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. I set my puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, and ability.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
