Wages Labs
Meet the breeder
I'm Gina W., the breeder behind Wages Labs located in Murrysville, PA. I love being a breeder. It's so fulfilling to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on his or her family. I strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. I love matching healthy, happy puppies with loving families.
Q. & A. with Gina
Why did you start breeding?
I had always wanted a Labrador. I never planned on breeding, but we were given a Labrador and decided to try it once and see how things went. 10 years and a lot of things I learned later, I am still at it. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.What makes your program special?
I spend a lot of time with the puppies. I usually sleep in the whelping box with mom and the puppies for the first few days. Then I sleep in a bed beside the whelping box for the first 2-3 weeks. Once the puppies are old enough, I take them to the living quarters of the house or outside every day. I work to get them used to different surfaces and noises, as well as being handled and around people.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
