Reve Labradors
Meet the breeder
I'm JoAnn R., the breeder behind Reve Labradors located in Santa Fe, NM. We have had the extreme good fortune to know some of the most respected Lab breeders in the US, and our current female, due to whelp soon, is from the Dickendall line. Over the years, we have spent much time showing and researching all aspects of dog ownership, training, and breeding. Now at 72, the number of litters we will have is small. I have an advanced degree in psychology, puppy cognition, and socialization techniques. I believe it is important to educate buyers on important puppy topics, such as vaccines, food, exercise, training, and socialization, which are high on our list of priorities.
Q. & A. with JoAnn
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to breed our second Lab and in looking for a stud dog, met the various breeders in our state. The breeders were very helpful in educating us, suggesting reading material, and in the selection of our stud dog. Being young, we were uneducated on dog breeding and showing dogs. The local breeders took the time needed to mentor us into the breeders we are today.What makes your program special?
We are very interested in canine cognition and learning, and with my background in psychology, we find these two interests dovetail well. The early socialization we do is exhaustive and preps our pups to thrive in their new homes. We look forward to connecting with you and your family!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
