In our cozy home, the pitter-patter of tiny paws signals the arrival of precious puppies into the world. Our climate-controlled nursery provides a comfortable and safe environment for these new bundles of joy. As they reach the age of 4 weeks, the puppies make the exciting transition to the nursery, where they embark on a journey of growth and discovery.
Here at our puppy pre-school, these little ones are not just learning basic commands, but also invaluable socialization skills that will shape their future interactions with the world around them. Through carefully curated experiences, they are being de-sensitized to a variety of stimuli, preparing them to navigate the complexities of the world with confidence and grace.
Being retired means that we have the privilege of dedicating our full attention and love to our furry companions. Our days are filled with playful moments, cuddles, and endless opportunities for bonding. Adding to our team is our remarkable Kennel Assistant, a former Vet Tech whose expertise and passion enhance the care and well-being of our dogs.
We consider ourselves truly fortunate to be able to immerse ourselves in this fulfilling hobby, witnessing the impact it has not only on the lives of our beloved pets but also on our own. As we nurture these puppies with love and dedication, we are sowing the seeds for a future filled with joy, companionship, and endless wagging tails.

Our Commitment to Thoughtful Breeding
In our breeding program, every choice we make regarding our studs is the result of extensive research, careful analysis, and heartfelt consideration. We understand that breeding is not merely about producing a "yellow" litter; it is a profound commitment to the future of our beloved breed. Each stud is selected not just for their physical attributes, but for their lineage, temperament, and the promise they hold for the puppies who will carry their legacy into the world.
We do not offer guarantees on the use of any stud in our plans—life has a way of unfolding in unexpected ways. Breeding involves a multitude of factors, requiring the collaboration of skilled hands and nurturing hearts. It truly takes a small village, along with a sprinkle of luck, to ensure that everything flows smoothly. This intricate journey is often not shared with our puppy families, and we believe that it is best left unspoken. We cherish the bond of love and trust between us and the families who welcome our puppies into their homes.
It’s crucial to understand that we appreciate the passion and enthusiasm of our puppy families, but we also ask for respect regarding our breeding decisions. For instance, when a family suggested breeding Dune to a girl who is his half-sister, we felt it was important to gently remind them that our expertise and experience guide our choices. We have a vision of producing not only healthy and beautiful puppies but also ensuring that each one possesses a wonderful temperament—a promise we make to every family that chooses to welcome one of our dogs into their lives.
Ultimately, the essence of a good dog transcends color; it lies in their spirit, their joy, and the love they bring into our lives. As stewards of this wonderful breed, we strive to create not just dogs, but companions who will enrich the lives of their families and embody the values of loyalty, affection, and integrity. Together, we can celebrate the promise of each new litter, filled with hope, love, and the potential to bring countless moments of joy to families everywhere.

** Note we breed for our own purposes first, always trying to improve our lines and betterment of the breed through health testing and adding lines for the preservation of the Labrador standard. We may choose to keep multiple puppies from litters at our discretion, and we may use an alternate stud dog than the one listed below. Many factors and vet visits are just a small part of breeding, multiple progesterone tests, semen evaluations, artificial insemination, surgical insemination's, ultrasounds to confirm pregnancy, as well as puppy counts and a multitude of other factors and situations - blood, sweat and tears!!! ... <3
**We are proud to announce our dogs were chosen to produce the future service dogs for the West Virginia University Service Dog Program!

We also reserve the right to keep any puppy from the litter.
We also reserve the right of refusal, if we deem that a family is not a good fit for one of our puppies/dogs
Certainly, we understand that life happens. If you pass on getting a puppy you lose your spot and are moved to the bottom of the list - if you pass on a puppy more than twice you are removed, and your information is placed into my home office file and you will have to contact me when you feel your family is ready for a future puppy.
