Breeding healthy AKC English style Labrador Retrievers
Get to Know Us
My love for this breed began in 1997 when we welcomed our first yellow lab, "Hiker," into our family. She was the perfect family dog—ready for adventure with the neighborhood kids or simply lounging on the couch. After she passed just shy of her 13th birthday, I was blessed with another yellow lab named Pete. His same biddable temperament and devotion further deepened my love for this breed. Many years later I finally took a leap of faith to pursue my dream of showing and breeding these wonderful dogs. My goal for breeding is to produce versatile, all around dogs that can excel in any discipline, whether it is conformation, obedience, hunting, or -most importantly- as the family pet. I aim to produce dogs that are intelligent, athletic, and have a strong work ethic, allowing them to succeed in any activity they are trained for.
