Q. & A. with Laurie
Why did you start breeding?
Our first Laurkim lab was a black female named Fegan whom we adored. I grew up with a love of all animals and as a small child I was hooked on making it my life's calling.What makes your program special?
We breed only Labradors with correct clearances. ❤️ All of our Labs are cleared on hip and elbows through the OFA and eyes through an annual OFA exam. Genetic testing for PRA, EIC, HNPK,RD/OSD and the dilute gene are done on all of our dogs. We also tests hearts. We breed dogs with an emphasis on pleasant, intelligent temperament, soundness and correct conformation. Our puppies are born and raised in our family room. They are extremely well socialized with adults and children using PUPPY CULTURE protocol before they leave for their new homes at 8 weeks of age. ❤️ Many of our puppies grow up to be therapy and assistance Labradors.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
