Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
My love and devotion for the Labrador Retriever inspired me to share this amazing breed with others who appreciate it just as much as I do in a responsible way. I strive to not only produce beautiful, versatile, and healthy puppies but to help promote responsible breeding practices in order to ensure that the Labrador will continue to thrive for generations to come.What makes your program special?
Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the Labrador Retriever. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience; and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
