Q. & A. with Woodie
Why did you start breeding?
I have owned dogs for my entire life. I have been breeding for myself for many years. I feel in love with the Fox Red labradors about 20 years ago. I got my first one 4 yrs ago and just started wanting to breed them so I could share them. We now own 4 FRLs and we enjoy raising an occasional litter of puppies as a family.What makes your program special?
We put our heart and soul into raising great puppies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.
