Meet the breeder
I'm Kristen E., the breeder behind Rustic Fields Labradors located in Greenville, IN.

We put great effort into our puppies' upbringing because our focus is on producing well-rounded Labradors that will fit well into any home.
Q. & A. with Kristen
Why did you start breeding?
I first fell in love with Labradors when I was 6 years old, and when we brought Sadie home, I fell in love all over again. She brought us into the breeding world and gave us the passion to raise Labradors with the integrity that they deserve.What makes your program special?
Our goal is to produce well-rounded and multi-purpose Labradors. We perform more than average health and genetic testing to ensure we are breeding healthy dogs. Our puppies are raised in a neurologically rich environment that will help shape them into well-adjusted adults.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
