I'm Heather D., the breeder behind Master Creek Labradors located in Deer Creek, MN. We breed and show Labradors. Our focus is health, temperament and breed standard. The goal we set and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog. They conform to the standard in looks, temperament and trainability.
Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
I started attending AKC shows and have always had Labradors. Those were the two factors that began my breeding journey.
What makes your program special?
We breed to the standard. We do not support dilute breeding or unregistered, not health tested dogs. Health, temperament, and standard are our main goals.
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.
