Q. & A. with Mary E

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had always wanted to breed, but was busy home-schooling and raising our family. When my youngest was eight, we decided to get a chocolate lab. She was a talented, beautiful girl which opened our world to the AKC Hunt Test, Field Trial, and Obedience world. I came across an older breeder who needed to find homes for his females because his health was failing and he had just lost his wife. We took one of his males and three of his females. He was my mentor, was a wealth of knowledge as a 30 year breeder. He helped me get started by teaching me, giving me many books to read and study, and by guiding me as I had my first litter. We loved it and my daughter loved the training part of raising them, so it has become our lifestyle as we have slowly grown into breeding the two breeds. We want to keep it small and manageable, so we retire our females young and find homes where they can enjoy their retirement!

  • What makes your program special?

    We breed from top of the line in both of our breeds so we can raise healthy, smart puppies that are bred to their standard. We spend hours with our dogs and puppies that are raised in our home. We health test our parents, feed and supplement them, giving them the attention and exercise that they need to stay happy and healthy. We are blessed to have a certified Reproduction and ICSB-New York vet that has also taught me much and cared for all of our breeding dogs. I follow his knowledgeable council as he is not only an expert in the field but a breeder himself. We do Bio-sensory testing on our puppies from day 3-16 and do the Rule of Seven to make sure they are well socialized by the time they leave our home. Because I too purchase puppies, I am well aware of the difference between a well bred puppy and one that was not given what was needed those crucial first weeks of life. It is so important to me to do what it takes to reproduce only quality puppies. Lastly, I am always available for my people. I send weekly videos once the puppies are born and updates, supply lists, training helps, take home information, and am available for the life of your puppy if you choose to give a home one of my puppies.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Havanese puppies include white, cream, gold, red, gold sable, red sable, and fawn. Labrador Retriever puppies include black, chocolate, and 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.

  • Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
