Q. & A. with Lauren & Ryan
Why did you start breeding?
After doing research to find family companions, and working in the vet field for many years I saw the many problems with the Labrador Retriever breed. I wanted to bring back a healthy and properly bred Labrador to our area.What makes your program special?
Our girls have full health certifications. This includes x-rays for OFA registration, bloodwork (E.I.C., etc.) and DNA testing. They are all bred and raised in our home, alongside our family. We fully believe in proper socialization with all 5 senses right from the start!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.
