Q. & A. with Denise
Why did you start breeding?
We decided after acquiring Levi to breed Labradors to keep his line going. Levi is extremely smart and has undergone extensive training to be NC certified service animal.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are family! They all reside in our home. Pups are born in our home and handled from day one. We do Early stimulation with our pups as well as expose them to household daily noises and when old enough take and expose them to various farm animals as in horses and chickens and guineas and cats.
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.
