Our Labs have champion bloodlines on both sides of the pedigree. We strive to help our pups to thrive as their best selves, and we work with integrity. We're looking forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Janice
Why did you start breeding?
We have always been invested in the well-being of animals. We truly love our puppies and know you will, too! We pride ourselves on helping all of our puppy parents find the right fit for their family and lifestyle. We are committed to staying connected to our puppy families throughout their lifetimes to ensure they never feel alone and can raise their new, furry companion with confidence and joy.
What makes your program special?
We love our Labradors and spoil each of our pups with personal attention and lots of group playtime! Our puppy parents are health and genetically tested prior to entering our program. We take care to select a complimenting paring of the parents to ensure that we strengthen our bloodlines and produce healthy and happy puppies. Our dogs and pups are integrated into our family and live in our home.
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.
