I'm David B., the breeder behind Waterstone Labradors located in Kendall County, TX. I produce pups that have the ability to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. I hand-raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability!
Q. & A. with David
Why did you start breeding?
My dogs are excellent representations of the breed, and I am proud to continue their line. I breed to help ensure the future of the Lab and to improve upon my dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.
What makes your program special?
I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
