I'm Nancy S., the breeder behind Maplewood Acres Labradors located in Pipersville, PA. I breed for conformation and performance. My breeding dogs are health tested and only bred with a health tested stud. Health and temperament are extremely important to me, and I strive to produce well-rounded companions. I look forward to connecting with you!
