Q. & A. with Shelley
Why did you start breeding?
We’ve always owned labs as family pets. It wasn’t until a couple years ago that we finally decided to breed. Our dogs have brought our family so much joy and they’re just fun to be around. With having a family as big as ours is, it allows me to stay home with the kids and dogs and earn a little bit of money to help pay the bills…and spoil the dogs…I mean kids!😂What makes your program special?
We are hands on, from day one with our puppies! We do early neurological stimulation (ENS) this gives your puppy a stronger heartbeat, better adrenal function, more tolerant to stress and greater resistance to disease. We also do early scent introduction (ESI). It helps puppies with their nose awareness and confidence. Labs LOVE using their noses! And that’s just for starters!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.
