Q. & A. with Kimber
Why did you start breeding?
We are a family of six. The kids love to handle and spoil the pups until they go home. We strive to produce the best labs possible by health testing and keeping current on the health standards. We are always busy with kids and dogs. McKay Creek Labs is located in Prineville Oregon. We strive to sell only quality Labrador retrievers that are good-tempered & well-socialized puppies.What makes your program special?
All of our breeding dogs are AKC registered Labrador Retrievers. We selected our Labs for disposition, athletic ability, trainability, and health. We enjoy the outdoors with our dogs and kids. We have various hobbies that involve our dogs including hunting and camping.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
