Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
I have been breeding for 22 years, though I have had labs all my life as my dad was a hunter. In 2000, my kids hit an age where I had the right amount of time to invest and I was able to start my own program.What makes your program special?
Puppies from Rocky Ridge Labradors come from an excellent Hunting/Championship Pedigree. Our puppies have natural hunting/retrieving instincts, intelligence, trainability and great genetics. You and your puppy have the ability to pursue whatever your interests may be; whether Hunting, Therapy, walking/running companion, or simply a great family pet; you will have a loyal friend for life.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.
