I'm Marcy J., the breeder behind Soundview Labradors located in Kingston, WA. We health test all of our breeding dogs and are listed on the OFA website. We breed 1-2 litters per year. All puppies are raised in a family environment, in the home.
Q. & A. with Marcy
Why did you start breeding?
After getting my first Labrador I reached out to our local club, attended different events, and met other members. I fell in love with the breed and started my own breeding program.
What makes your program special?
I do limit to a limited number of litters per year. Most of my puppies are gone before the breeding is confirmed. I raise all my dogs and puppies in my home. I do not have "kennels".
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
