I'm Cindy J., the breeder behind Hayden Creek Labs located in Rathdrum, ID. We have owned, bred, and loved Labrador Retrievers for over 20 years. Our goal is to produce sweet, kind, and trainable family members. We love this breed for its versatility. Many of our puppies have done therapy work or have excelled as hunting and hiking companions, but all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends!
Q. & A. with Cindy
Why did you start breeding?
Responsible, ethical breeders play an important role in the future of the dog ecosystem. We are guardians for the future Labradors. At Hayden Creek Labs, we always strive to breed quality puppies and preserve the line of these incredible companions. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that we have found in raising these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
Hayden Creek Labradors is a premier breeder of quality Labrador Retrievers. We strive for excellence in everything that we do. Our females are OFA certified and receive a full DNA screen before producing puppies. Similarly, we only breed stud dogs with these similar health clearances. Good temperaments, devoted personalities, and excellent hunting and swimming abilities are a must! We would be honored to connect you with your next cherished puppy!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
