Tamerlane Labradors
Meet the breeder
I'm Candice M., the breeder behind Tamerlane Labradors located in Huffman, TX. As breed enthusiasts and hobby exhibitors, our goal is to improve upon the next generation through selective breeding and testing. We do NOT breed “silvers” or “dilutes”.
Q. & A. with Candice
Why did you start breeding?
We purchased our first dog from a hunt judge that also participated in AKC Conformation. We were fortunate to have her and another local breeder take us under their wing and 20 years later, are still mentors to us.What makes your program special?
We just do what good breeders do. We breed selectively for health, temperament, and conformation. We are breeding for ourselves and the next generation down the road. What we do today has an effect 10 years down the road.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 a kennel on my property.

Good level

Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), Generalized, Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis (HNPK)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
