Q. & A. with Erica

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My father bought a beautiful yellow labrador named "Ivory" for my son when he was four years old. He said that this dog was of great lineage and that we should breed her when she is ready to breed. I agreed to it but never really thought it would come to fruition. Well it did! And I feel very lucky to have had my dad's support in this hobby of mine till this very day. It's a family thing!
  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program is special because it comes from the heart! I pour my heart into every aspect of my breeding program and it shows in the dogs I produce.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
