Q. & A. with Ann
Why did you start breeding?
I started attending dog shows and was put in touch with a breeder/AKC judge in New York. We picked out our puppy from him and she became our foundation female. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others!
What makes your program special?
We are conscious breeders of Labradors, and we are committed to only breeding dogs that we feel are excellent representations of their standard and will make a positive contribution to their line overall. Our focus on health, structure, temperament, and movement is what puts our program at the front of the pack. If you are looking for the perfect, quality companion, look no further! We have many years of experience with this breed, and can provide extensive knowledge and guidance to any individual looking to bring home one of these magnificent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
