Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
When you add a puppy to your family you are not just adding a "dog". You are adding a lifetime companion. You want to be sure that your puppy is the right puppy for you and was taken care of before it was even born. Labs have always been my favorite so why not get into breeding and learn all about it and provide all around amazing labs to everyone around us!What makes your program special?
Our dogs are not your typical kennel dogs. They are our house pets meaning that from the start we raise the mom to your puppy in our homes. In our beds to be exact. All of our puppies live inside with us are with us everyday enjoy the luxury of adult & child interaction & get spoiled just as much as any child in our family. Puppies are dewormed 1st vaccinations microchipped Vet checked AKC papersWhat are the different breed coat colors in your program?
