Meet the breeder
I'm Dan R., the breeder behind Maridan Labradors located in Laredo, TX. I breed beautiful English Labrador Retrievers with a focus on intelligence, temperament, calmness, and health. Each of my breedings dogs is evaluated for health issues to make sure they will produce healthy puppies. I ensure all of my puppies are socialized and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program.
Q. & A. with Dan
Why did you start breeding?
My love for English Labrador Retrievers inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. Labs have proven to be wonderful companions in my life, and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others.What makes your program special?
I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.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.
