Q. & A. with Lori
Why did you start breeding?
When our girls where young they were into 4H and they wanted to start showing dogs. We have always been a dog family, but we had an AKC judge take the girls under her wings and educate them as well as us to training, conformation, ethics, and showing. She trusted us with one of her prized English Labrador puppies and off we went.What makes your program special?
We are small. Our dogs are our family, not breeding stock to make our livelihood. We don't have our dogs in a kennel they live in our homes with us. We raise them like our children with health in mind. We feed them holistically, no pesticides are near our homes, and they are an integral part of our families.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?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
