Q. & A. with Theresa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got my first pure bred Labrador , Tehya from my boss/ mentor who is also a veterinarian. I fell in love with the breed even more and learn what it takes to be a responsible breeder and finishing the appropriate health testing before they enter the breeding program.
  • What makes your program special?

    I put so much love and time into raising my puppies and making sure they are socialized and vet checked before their new homes. Any family that has one of our puppies knows we are just a call away for any advice, tips and tricks.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
