I'm Allison K., the breeder behind Three Springs Retrievers located in Wampum, PA. Our dogs are bred with a focus on health, sound temperament, and the betterment of the breed. Our breeding program is thoughtfully designed to produce dogs that excel in hunting, hunt tests, and as loyal companions. Each pairing is carefully planned with an emphasis on genetic health.
Q. & A. with Allison
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the Labrador breed and their intelligence, drive, and loyalty. I want to help bring more well rounded, healthy, and good tempered dogs into the world.
What makes your program special?
I keep my program intentionally small so I can focus on quality over quantity. Every puppy gets individual attention, handling, and socialization, ensuring they grow into well-adjusted, confident dogs.
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.
