Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the Labrador retriever 23 years ago after we owned our very first one at that time.
What makes your program special?
We Are not a puppy mill and are very careful who we sell to. We do not sell to brokers. Our labs are hard to come by and when you own one you will see exactly what I mean.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
