Q. & A. with Kourtney
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased my first lab in 2012, and had my first litter in 2014. I grew up on a pig farm and was very experienced with animal reproduction at a young age. I always knew I wanted to pursue a career with animals. Which lead me to breeding.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in home, receiving only the best care from the moment they are born until the moment they head off to their new home. We practice both early neurological stimulation as well as early scent introduction. Every day our puppies experience age appropriate enrichment, we truly strive to ensure they are ready to take on the world when they leave our home.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.
