Q. & A. with Erin
Why did you start breeding?
As a veterinarian I developed an interest in reproduction, and growing up with labs I knew I wanted to be able to share this special breed with other families.What makes your program special?
Our puppies have phenomenal socialization growing up in our home with four young children and on our farm with a wide variety of animals. Temperament is our top concern. As a veterinarian, health is also essential and all breeding dogs have been health tested.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
