Q. & A. with Whiskey River

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We're second-generation Labrador breeders. Parents were breeders and it was a joy to grow up with puppies in the house. We loved hearing how they were making their new families happy.
  • What makes your program special?

    We like to keep in contact. We enjoy taking special photoshoots and send videos whenever the puppies are doing something particularly adorable. We are always here for you; we want this relationship between you and your puppy to be as successful as possible!
  • 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.
