Thank you for inquiring about our Labrador Retrievers. Our goal is to produce Labrador Retrievers of sound temperament and good health and to exemplify the Breed Standard.
We strive to be sure our puppies are sold to loving, committed, life long homes. As much as possible we attempt to evaluate each puppy's personality by observing them during their development. This allows us to offer you the puppy that will best fit your family.
In an effort to ensure that our puppies are going to receive the love and care they will require throughout their lives, we ask all potential buyers to please complete the questionnaire.
