I'm Sandra C., the breeder behind Urbane Retrievers located in Illinois. When we bring a life into the world, we take that responsibility seriously and do everything we can to make sure it gets the best start possible. Additionally, any pup or dog from our program is a part of our pack for life.
Q. & A. with Sandra
Why did you start breeding?
I love Labradors and I wanted to bring joy to people the same way they bring joy to my life. As a breeder, it has always been important for me to ensure my puppies have exceptional health, temperament and make great life companions.
What makes your program special?
All our dogs are family pets. As such, our puppies are raised indoor as part of our family. We take great pride in ensuring our puppies receive the best quality nutrition, care, environment and socialization. By doing so, we are confident our puppies and yourself will experience a smooth transition from our home to yours.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
