I'm Joule C., the breeder behind Tenacular | Dognacular located in Paradise, CA. My focus is to maintain the Labrador breed standard by raising structurally sound & correct puppies with excellent temperaments. All of our dogs are health tested. We do not breed until we check for genetics, performance records, color, and mendelian charts. I am committed to matching my pups up with the best homes possible!
Q. & A. with Joule
Why did you start breeding?
I am a trainer specialized in retrieving. A consistent love for the Labrador Retriever breed and dog training encouraged the beginning of Dognacular. These dogs have proven to be wonderful companions in my life and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others.
What makes your program special?
At Dognacular, we produce excellent companions. We understand the importance of dog health, temperament, and structure. Every breeding decision is made accordingly. I work closely within the community to provide the best breeding program possible. Each pup is cherished from the moment of birth and given the best start we can possibly provide. I will always stand behind my dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

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).
