I'm Erica W., the breeder behind Matoskah Meadows Labradors located in South Lyon, MI. Our love for our dogs pushed us to begin breeding. We love to see the results of our efforts in the sweet, happy, and healthy puppies that we’re able to share with others.
Q. & A. with Erica
Why did you start breeding?
My journey in the canine industry began in 2005, assisting with whelping and planning breedings for a family friend’s Labrador Retriever program. I launched my own Labrador Retriever breeding program in 2010, with a commitment to producing dogs that excel in health, temperament, and trainability.
What makes your program special?
In 2010, I founded my own Labrador Retriever breeding program, dedicated to producing exceptional dogs with a purpose. Our program is built on a passion for breeding Labradors that embody the perfect balance of health, temperament, and trainability, creating companions that truly stand out.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
