I'm Holly W., the breeder behind Hawgback labradors located in Farmersburg, IN. I love being a breeder. It's so fulfilling to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on its family. I am a small breeder allowing me to give each of my puppies, dogs, and breedings the proper care and attention they each deserve. I am dedicated to providing happy, healthy, and well-socialized pups for others to welcome into their family. I love my pups and know you will love them, too!
Q. & A. with Holly
Why did you start breeding?
It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program. My dogs are my family, and I can't wait to welcome you into our community!
What makes your program special?
My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. I am passionate about my work and look forward to connecting with you!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
