I'm Jodie B., the breeder behind Labs4Ever Labradors located in Katy, TX. This is our family! Our Labradors are taken care of like family. We all work together loving, feeding, training, cleaning, and caring for our adult dogs and puppies. We make sure that our puppies have good experiences as they encounter many "firsts" with us. We do everything we can to make training easier.
Q. & A. with Jodie
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the Labrador breed when we adopted our first chocolate, Casie. We thought we'd breed her for a fun experience, but we fell in love with every stage of raising her puppies. When we could see lives transformed and hearts filled with puppy love and families completed with a puppy, we fell in love with breeding! Anticipating each litter is as exciting as Christmas.
What makes your program special?
We enjoy making the experience fun and interactive for our customers! We start off by notifying our waiting list that we've conducted the breeding, then we send sonogram pictures, then we send birth announcements with pictures and the stats after the birth of the litter. We send weekly pictures and videos after that! Customers are welcome to visit us at 4-5 weeks of age!
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 and a kennel on my property.
