Meet the breeder
I'm Margaret K., the breeder behind Winterwind Labradors and Border Terriers located in Ironwood, MI. Our first Labrador, was a very special girl. She was all a Labrador could and should be. Kelly, as we called her, showed us the ropes! Everything we asked of her she complied, from duck blind to show ring she did it all and did it well. She has set the standard, for us in Labradors since. We have been lucky to be owned since, by some truly wonderful Labradors.
