Q. & A. with Paige
Why did you start breeding?
I was born into a Labrador loving family with parents that had two Labradors to welcome me home to. I grew up with them as my best friends. Once I purchased my first Labrador and remembered the feeling of the love and companionship I grew up with I wanted to be able to produce healthy family companions to grow with families, and to feel what my dogs have gifted me.. True and unconditional love.
What makes your program special?
Our goal is to not only produce beautifully sound puppies, but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Labrador Retriever will continue to thrive for generations to come. We completely health test for what is available to our breed. We pride ourselves on helping all of our families find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle when it comes to their new family member.
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 and guardian homes.
