Q. & A. with Shanda
Why did you start breeding?
We love the Labrador Retriever breed. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. Our dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. Our ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues AND have the ability to be wonderful family companions.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are part of our family first and foremost. We complete various health tests prior to breeding and we breed for quality, not quantity. Our goal is to not only produce beautiful puppies, but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Labrador Retriever will continue to thrive for generations to come. We pride ourselves on helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle. We truly love our puppies and know you will, too!
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 a kennel on my property.
