Q. & A. with Mara
Why did you start breeding?
Labradors are sweet faced and lovable friendly and high spirited companions. I feel in love with my sweet Ginger the moment that I met her and I decided to share her special characteristics and breed her. She has perfect health clearances and an outstanding personality. She is playful and has so much love to give. I just wanted to share her and pass on her wonderful traits through her beautiful healthy puppies.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because I raise my litter in my home and incorporate the puppies and socialize them with my family life. It is a very personal approach! I breed for excellence , so I make sure to match my sweet Ginger to a great Sire. Bo is exceptional and he has champion bloodlines. Ginger has the kindest sweetest personality. I am so excited to see these puppies! I enjoy so much to watch them grow and placing them into loving, wonderful homes.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.
