Breeder of Quality Health Tested Conformation (Show/Bench) Labrador Retrievers
We are a small hobby breeder of quality yellow and black Conformation (Show/Bench) Labrador Retrievers (referred to by some as English though that term is not used in the written standard) with a focus on the breed standards established by the Labrador Retriever Club, Inc and adopted by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Our dogs are registered with the AKC (pedigree information for each dog is posted with applicable links) and fully health tested before breeding (all completed health clearances are listed and documentation is linked). We breed in an effort to find our next show or hunting prospect so that we can continue to participate in our favorite activities. Any dog that we feel may not meet these goals will be placed in sporting & companion homes. In the coming years we plan to add chocolate to our program as well.

Where else can you be just 10 minutes from the waves at the beach, a stone's throw from your favorite hunting spot, and have livestock living in your backyard? The beach, forest, and farmland all in one. Not only is this a wonderful place to raise children, our dogs & puppies are provided the opportunity to be exposed to so many unique experiences such as livestock, farm equipment, water, firearms, and large open spaces. We can't imagine a better place to live.
If you happen to come into our area to pick up your puppy and have some time to spare, we encourage you to check out all that our area has to offer. We have great shopping (no tax), beautiful beaches, and amazing restaurants.

What started out as just a love of the breed, has evolved into a passion to share the wonderful attributes of the Labrador Retriever. The term Conformation, Show, or Bench refers to a dog whose physical characteristics mirror the written AKC breed standard seen in the conformation show ring. These attributes include bone and substance that is in balance with the structure of the dog, a wide and well developed head, muscular build, level topline, and otter tail. Although they are built with a larger frame than Field bred Labradors, they can be equal in drive and athleticism, while also enjoying life as a couch potato. These characteristics make them uniquely suited for family, hunting, and AKC events.

Devoted Family Dogs
Patience, loyalty, and enthusiasm characterize the Labrador Retriever. Our dogs are devoted to their humans and are especially gentle and forgiving with our children. A quality that is worth its weight in gold. They've never met a person they didn't love. Our labs are the definition of "family dog."
