Q. & A. with Victoria
Why did you start breeding?
I knew I would breed labs 27 years ago when we got our first Labrador Retriever "Piper". I feel in love with the breed and with training. Over the years I have stayed in touch with all the breeders from whom we got our pups and have mentors in the field as well as have taken courses on breeding.What makes your program special?
We breed with an eye toward health & temperament. All of our girls are OFA clear for hips, eyes,& genetics & only bred w/ an equally suitable stud. Pups are nurtured w/ daily enrichment to build resilience, confidence & emotional balance. We breed a few select litters & are very selective about the home to which they will go. We like to get to know you so we can match you w/ the best pupWhat 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.

About Juno
Juno is a very sweet and loving dog. In 2024 she finished 4th Nationally for Labrador Retrievers in AKC Fast Cat. She is a very thoughtful dog and works with Victoria as a facilitator dog for clients with very insecure rescues. She has a goofy side and loves belly rubs, snuggling and playing fetch or doing retrieving training. She is an amazing family dog but also wonderful in the field. She is a steady thoughtful hunting companion.
