Q. & A. with Sandra
Why did you start breeding?
Over 37 years ago my young children wanted a dog. I learned that Labrador Retrievers make the best family dogs and the best dogs with children due to the genetic traits bred into a purebred Labrador Retriever. I fell in love with this glistening lightest of yellow fur color, which is a valid variation of the yellow labrador retriever. I do ever health test offered.What makes your program special?
I love my Labs To Love puppies every day, all day as they each grow up in our home. Puppies are socialized with family members that are aged toddler through adult! I start the pups on potty training as soon as they are toddlers. I know each puppy individually and can help you choose your new family member, but the final choice of puppy is of course yours to make!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
