There is much more to producing an exceptional Labrador than bringing two beautiful dogs together.

Our breeding decisions consider health, temperament, pedigree, structure, trainability, and the qualities each individual dog can contribute to the next generation. With more than 25 years of professional training and handling experience, Krys brings a perspective most breeding programs do not have: she has seen how genetics, temperament, early development, socialization, and training come together to shape the dog that ends up living in your house.

Health

Full testing on both parents, and pedigree research behind every pairing.

Temperment

Stability and biddability first. A beautiful dog that is hard to live with is not a success.

Pedigree

What the dogs behind the pairing have produced, not just what they look like.

Structure

Correct build for a dog expected to work, swim, and stay sound for years.

Trainability

The willingness to work with people that defines the breed at its best.

Contribution

What this specific pairing adds to the future of the Labrador Retriever.

The temperment we breed for

A Labrador may be beautiful and accomplished, but most importantly, that dog needs to be capable of becoming an exceptional companion.

  • Confident in new places and with new people
  • Affectionate and genuinely people-focused
  • Intelligent and biddable — a dog that wants to work with you
  • Social with people, children, and other dogs
  • Comfortable being part of ordinary family life

Exactly what every breeding dog is tested for, and how we use the results.

From whelping through eight weeks, week by week.

Three colors, one breed — and where we stand on delutes.
