Lubberline Labradors
Meet the breeder
I'm Pauline M., the breeder behind Lubberline Labradors located in Alexandria, VA. Lubberline Labradors began in 1972 with the purchase of our first Labrador Retriever, a black female simply called "Lubber." The kennel has grown to hold blacks, yellows, and chocolates. We breed first for temperament, striving to also combine the best of pedigrees. We produce Labradors that not only look typically "English," but also Labradors that are hunting companions as well as loyal pets.
Q. & A. with Pauline
Why did you start breeding?
Our breeding program began in 1972 with our first Labrador Retriever female, "Lubber." Since then I have been successfully breeding, and show competitively in the conformation breed ring.What makes your program special?
At Lubberline Labradors, we produce loyal family companions. We understand the importance of dog health, temperament, and structure. We are also very involved in our local breeding club, the Huron River Labrador Retriever Club, and the National Labrador Retriever Club. Our breeding program is continually strengthened by our involvement with the Labrador Retriever community.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
