Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
My husband and I are Home Breeders. Hey, I married into a Lab Family! For me it's been 25 years. 2 Litters during that time by two different sets of parents. My husband has had labs since he was 10 yrs old.What makes your program special?
We strongly support keeping the Champion Bloodline in tact. As an example: We live in Sacramento, CA and yet found the best stud for our girl. We tried to do A-I but her test showed when was ready to breed in two days. We packed and left for Idaho which is where Recon lives. We chose him because of his pedigree of Champions, especially Hall of Famers and thousands of field titles. The result was exceptionally beautiful puppies. Worth it all because you will get the best puppy you can find.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
