Q. & A. with Elaina
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding to not only preserve my own phenomenal bloodlines, but to improve this breed with each litter and do my part to ensure the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!
What makes your program special?
I am a professional breeder of high-quality Labradors. I do not produce a litter unless each of my parent dogs are fully healthy and excellent representations of the standard. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. I love what I do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
