Wolf Mountain Kennel
Meet the breeder
I'm Juliana G., the breeder behind Wolf Mountain Kennel located in Danby, VT. I value quality over quantity in all things. Our breeding goal is to produce healthy, sound, attractive Labradors with temperaments that will excel in any active endeavor, especially as service dogs.
Q. & A. with Juliana
Why did you start breeding?
I was partnered with my first medical service dog in 2008. Since then, I've endeavored to find and train suitable dogs for myself and others. This breeding program is first and foremost an effort to provide the community with healthy, moderate, intelligent and trainable service dog candidates. Along the way I got into dog sports and we enjoy many dog sports as hobbies.What makes your program special?
Besides all the recommended health testing for the breed, we also have a goal of breeding dogs with the lowest coefficient of inbreeding that we can. This is to improve vigor and decrease unknown recessive traits popping up. While we strive to produce dogs with correct conformation, breeding for show is not my main focus. As a service dog handler myself, as well as a professional dog trainer, I have a unique perspective on the "total dog".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.

Parent dogs
Pixie, mom
Labrador Retriever
About Pixie
Pixie has a great zest for life. She is funny, extremely smart, and loves to work and learn new things. She has a "can-do" attitude and plenty of drive for any task I have asked of her. She is extremely versatile, with titles in obedience, tracking, dock diving and scent work. She has also done foundation training for service work because she will likely take over as my next service dog when her brother retires.
