Q. & A. with Cindy
Why did you start breeding?
Our love for Labradors began over 30 years ago. We started out in obedience training and competition; we soon fell in love with the beauty of the breed. We complete various health tests prior to breeding and we breed for quality, not quantity. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
What makes your program special?
Our love for Labrador Retriever is reflected in the personal touch we put into making sure the addition of your new puppy is a truly joyful experience. We are very selective about our breeding dogs. All of our dogs are fully healthy and genetically tested. The health and temperament of our puppies are our number one priority. We are very dedicated to what we do and what we are trying to achieve as breeders. We work with passion, heart, and integrity, and we truly want what's best for the Labrador Retriever line.
