We are a breeder that is tremendously
devoted to what we do.
We put a lot of time and effort in to our joy and passion!
We hold health testings & OFA testings as a high
importance for our Labradors.
We are constantly striving to ensure that we are breeding
to the highest quality possible.
All of our Labradors come with copies of all their health testings and if possible copies of their x-rays. So that you can be sure that your puppy is clear of hereditary health problems.
Our two children assist us with the daily chores and upkeep of a family of Labradors. They are great helpers in making sure that all our puppies and our Labradors are well socialized.
********************************************************
Answers to the main questions we get asked:
We are continually focusing on Improvement Breeding.
All of our puppies are registered with the AKC.
We are a Registered Kennel.
Our Labradors are health tested.
All of our puppies are micro-chipped (unless otherwise requested).
Yes, we do have full-time indoor Labradors and those that frequent the house often. We also bring our pregnant females indoors as whelping approaches and also after.
Our females only have 4 to 6 litters at a max. However, we have retired some of our girls after their 1st or 2nd litter after seeing them having a harder time bouncing back after a litter.
We only consider granting Full Breeding Rights to ALREADY ESTABLISHED Reputable Breeders.
********************************************************
We encourage families to come visit us & our Labrador family if you are able to and would like to check us out for yourself. You are more than welcome :) Just give us a call to schedule a time that is convenient.

Why we do, what we do
We love Labrador Retrievers because they are fun loving and make wonderful family oriented pets. Labs are a devoted, playful and an intelligent breed. They make a great addition to any family....large or small and adapt well to all types of lifestyles.
& because they make our lives happier :)

Our main interest is in the dilute and unusual colors (such as: silver, charcoal and champagne); however, we love all of the variety of colors produced within the Labrador Retriever genotypes.
One of our main focuses is on type and temperament. All of our lab puppies are raised in our home and have a "one on one" interaction with us from the moment of their birth until they are ready for their new homes

When our lab puppies leave us for their new homes, we provide detailed instructions and a folder filled with helpful information on the art of raising a puppy, as well as copies of the parents pedigrees, and their health clearances. We are in the process of certifying all of our breeding stock through OFA (hips, elbows, cardiac & patella) and working towards all clearances such as EIC, CNM, DM and PRA/PRCD.
All of our lab puppies are sold with a limited AKC registration. However, full breeding rights can be purchased with approval. We also provide a bill of sale and a 26 month hip dysplasia guarantee.
All of our lab puppies are loved and played with by our family. Our young children are very much involved with the rearing of our labs. Our dogs love playing hard and resting in between :)
Our Labs are all well adapted to a wide variety of noises and interactions. They love to go on walks, exploring the outdoors, swimming, camping, playing with the other dogs, and several of them will even allow my daughter to play dress up with them... precious.

Labs of a Different Color
Although the AKC acknowledges the many different colors of the versatile Lab, including Silver and Charcoal, it is true the AKC only recognizes the Yellow, Black and Chocolate in the Show Ring, and although the Chocolate colored Labs had an easier time, the Yellows were only accepted after a few strong supporters of the color refused to give up.
And so the lovers of these beautiful Silver, Charcoal, Champagne, White and Fox Reds are left to hope the AKC will see the popularity of these colors surge and allow them to have the full recognition they deserve, not in the field, or home where they already reign, but to the show ring also so that these colors can be held accountable to the AKC standard of the Labrador Retriever alongside their Black, Chocolate and Yellow breed mates!
"Labrador Retrievers that express the dilution gene (dd) are recognized and registered by the American Kennel Club (AKC) based on their foundation genetic... colors, Black, Yellow, or Chocolate.
Silver Labradors are chocolate Labradors that possess two copies of a recessive allele affecting coat color. The gene is called the "D" gene, or dilution gene. Labradors can have one of the following combinations of the "D" gene: DD full pigmentation not carrying dilution, Dd full pigmentation carrying the dilution gene, and dd dilute pigmentation. Both DD and Dd dogs would the commonly seen darker chocolate. A dd dog would appear silver in color. The dilution gene also affects black and yellow labs; dilute blacks are called charcoal and dilute yellows are called champagne.

- Labradors that are descriptively called “Silver” are registered as their base genetic color Chocolate.
- Labradors that are descriptively called “Charcoal” are registered as their base genetic color Black.
- Labradors that are descriptively called “Champagne” are registered as their base genetic color Yellow.
- Labradors that are descriptively called "Red Fox" are registered as their base genetic color Yellow.
- Labradors that are descriptively called "White" are registered as their base genetic color Yellow.
The policy of registering light shades of the breed standard-described colors was established after a joint investigation by the AKC and Labrador Retriever Club of America (LRC) in the 1980’s, wherein breed purity of “Silver” Labradors was also confirmed.
