About Nutmeg
Rocdrum Aritha (Nutmeg) - AKC titled Canine Good Citizen Nutmeg is a lovable, mild mannered yellow Labrador retriever born in the UK and imported to the US in 2022. She has an impressive pedigree that includes multiple UK and Irish field trail and hunt champions in her pedigree. Nutmeg is a wonderful mama and our personal dog who has passed on her loving yet rambunctious traits to her puppies. This is her second litter, her first was bred specifically as diabetic alert and service dogs. Two of her offspring from her first litter remain part of our pack. Both have earned their AKC CGC titles and received upland bird training from local Dittmer MO hunt club.
