I'm Cora F., the breeder behind Trouvae Labradors located in Morrow, OH. We strive to preserve the legacy of the breed for generations to come. I primarily participate in conformation events, but also enjoy various performance sports. Puppies are raised in our home with a focus on establishing a solid socialization foundation to become a wonderful family companion.
Q. & A. with Cora
Why did you start breeding?
I began showing Shetland Sheepdogs in obedience, AKC Junior Showmanship and Confirmation. In my adulthood, we introduced a Labrador Retriever into our family and have never looked back. After many years of working as an assistant to a breeder/handler of Shelties and later traveling with breeder mentors in Labradors, I established my own breeding program.
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.
