Q. & A. with Desiree
Why did you start breeding?
I am an animal lover through and through! Dogs are my favorite and Labs are the best! They will sit by your feet, collect your game birds, or fetch a stick! I wanted to share with the world what I already knew about Labs!
What makes your program special?
As the owner/operator I am constantly seeking out learning opportunities to broaden my knowledge on every aspect of canine care, training, and breeding! I’ve acquired several certificates in different areas of canine care such as Canine Nutrition, Pet Psychology, and Canine Communication. We have also implemented various evaluations into our breeding program so you can be better matched.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Marsh Land Labs LLC reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Labrador Retrievers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
