Q. & A. with Virginia

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have owned Labrador retrievers since 1975 and started training hunt test retrievers in 1997. Expanded into the Show Ring in 2010. We started our breeding program in 2004.
  • What makes your program special?

    We certify all of our breeding dogs, testing hips, elbows, eyes and genetic diseases in Labradors. We have a 26 month hip/eye/elbow guarantee. Our puppies are socialized before going to their new homes.
  • 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 and a kennel on my property.
