Marion Grace
Meet the breeder
I'm Marion G., the breeder behind Marion Grace located in Overland Park, KS. I am dedicated to the meticulous care for each of my females and their litters. Before breeding, I have my females scanned/tested for heritable diseases and use only those dogs that have received all appropriate OFA (hips and eyes) clearances. I also select breeding stock based on proven performance in the field, pedigree, temperament, soundness, and conformation. I research each stud to ensure that the pairing will complement one another and produce desired traits including a quality hunting retriever and family companion. I want to ensure that each puppy goes to an owner who will provide it with the same love and devotion for life that I have provided to my dogs. I carefully screen and evaluate each person interested in getting a puppy from my program.
Q. & A. with Marion
Why did you start breeding?
Hunting and competing with my first purebred Labrador Retriever, HRCH UH Kenzies Golden Drake SH (HRC Honorable 500 Point Club)What makes your program special?
I only breed a select few litters each year (no more than 2). I do not breed until each dog is fully health tested and has earned performance titles to prove their soundness and capability.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Labrador Retriever 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.
