Q. & A. with Abby
Why did you start breeding?
I was born into breeding and fell in love with it at a young age. Labradors have always been by my side through life's ups and downs, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Growing up helping my mom, who's bred Labs for 20+ years, I developed a deep passion for the breed and a commitment to preserving and improving it for future generations.What makes your program special?
My puppies aren’t just products of two dogs who passed tests and were paired together. They’re generations of dedication, health, and temperament, with countless hearts poured into them long before mine — now I carry that legacy, raising each pup with care and purpose. When done right, breeding is truly a labor of love.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
