The qualities of temperament and health have always been a priority in my breeding program and their conformation has always met the breed standard. I also have had multiple repeat customers, coming back for their second ,third and fourth Labs . I have loved bringing joy into other families' homes.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?
