Q. & A. with Lillian
Why did you start breeding?
We bought our first dilute factored Labrador in Feb. of 2018. (She was 4) We loved her temperament, & structure. We bred her to Ranger after doing her health testing. We have kept back 3 of her daughters to continue breeding her lines!What makes your program special?
We strive for quality, thick coats on all of our dilutes. We have never produced a "hairless" dilute dog. Our dogs do not suffer from CDA. We look at pedigrees, structure & health of each dog before pairing them together.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Labrador Retriever puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Dilute Retriever puppies include silver, charcoal, and champagne. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
