Q. & A. with RaeLynn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have always had a passion for dogs, especially labs. After a few years of having Wild Acre Kennels, we decided to expand what the kennel had to offer. We wanted to breed quality dogs to better the breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    I believe what makes our breeding program special is the amount of dedication we put into picking breeding pairs, health testing, training, puppy matching and interviewing potential owners. We take pride in our work and we want to ensure our puppies go to the absolute best home that fits everyone’s needs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
