As Labrador Breeders, outstanding working dogs are our passion. Our focus is breeding stylish gun dogs that are intense in the field, yet quiet at home with the family. We strive for athletic dogs, that train and perform with excellence, with health clearance to support a long and healthy life. We believe in producing classic working labs from the best of today's performance pedigrees.
Breeding Philosophy: Our dogs come from exceptional American field trial and hunt test bloodlines, including national titles in all venues. Our dogs not only hunt for us, but we have proven their abilities and talent by earning some of the top retriever titles available in the hunt test arenas. When planning a breeding, we search for top field titled stud dogs, with pedigrees that back up their accomplishments and drive. Having personally trained each of our retrievers equips us with intimate knowledge of each dog's strengths, weaknesses, and abilities, and supports us in finding the perfect cross for each female. In regards to size, we intend to produce a medium sized retriever averaging in the 55-75 lb range.
Placing our pups in
working hunt test or gun dog homes is important to us. If you are
purchasing solely as a pet, you need to be fully aware that these pups
are bred to be energetic working dogs, and while they are great with
people, these pups will need a job to do daily and an outlet for their
energy. In other words, you should fully expect a busy pup with energy
that will need time and extensive training.

"Ready did really good this weekend and we received our first two UKC Started ribbons!
I watched some of the Seasoned tests, and I think with a little more work on blinds, that they would be no problem for Ready.
I had a lot of fun at my first hunt test and am looking forward to going to some more."
