Q. & A. with Linda
What makes your program special?
Our Labrador Retrievers are hard hunting dogs out of top field trial and hunt test bloodlines. They have earned numerous hunt test titles and share our home. Our stud dogs are physically handsome, tested and clear of genetic faults, and have proven themselves in competition and in the field. They are gentle natured, never aggressive, family Labs. Excelling in intelligence and trainability, they will satisfy the most demanding buyer.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
