Q. & A. with Claire
Why did you start breeding?
My Aunt Jamie Kreitzer's love for Labradors is what started it all. Her and my Uncle Steve have grown and started Jungle Lake Labrador Lodge. Sadly Jamie passed away, now Steve and I (Claire) are continuing on Jamie's dream and life passion to produce healthy, hunters and family Labs.
What makes your program special?
All of our dogs are cleared of genetic diseases that are common to Labradors. Which means they are of the safest, healthiest dogs to use in a breeding program. On top of having the best health, we only breed our dogs that have the best temperament. Our dogs can be your best friend and your hunting partner.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our 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.
