We are a small, quality hobby "kennel" of Labrador Retrievers located just southwest of the Fargo-Moorhead metro. We believe in a structurally and genetically sound, all-purpose Labrador Retriever- one that remains correct to the truest intent of the breed's history & standard. We have found that the Conformation or "English" style of Labrador most appropriately meets our goals, so that is the style with which we are building our foundation. We only keep a select few dogs at a time to train, show, and trial. All of them live in our home and are first, and foremost, members of our family.
We actively compete in AKC, UKC, and IABCA (UCI) sanctioned Conformation and Performance events. We are very proud to have our first Champion, Piper, who earned her International & National Baby CH titles in May of last year, followed by her International & National Jugend CH titles in November, and starting this year with a bang by finishing her UKC CH title. She also recently earned her Canine Good Citizen certificate and will be working on her Rally Novice this year.
All of our breeding stock will be (when age appropriate), at minimum, AKC registered, OFA certified for Hips, Elbows, & Cardiac, ACVO examined yearly against PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) and other eye disorders, as well as tested for CNM (Centronuclear Myopathy) and EIC (Exercise Induced Collapse). Additional tests and clearances may include but are not limited to prcd PRA (genetic) and/or testing for color genetic purposes. We also strongly believe in competing in both Conformation & Performance because Labradors should be strong in both body & mind. Therefore, all of our breeding stock will either hold or be working on Performance titles & certifications as well.
From time to time we will have puppies and/or older/started dogs available. All of our companion puppies will be sold with AKC Limited Registration to select, loving homes. Please contact us for more details.
We are also available for custom website design and maintenance. Please click here for more information. In addition, we make custom fleece rope toys. For more information on those, please click here.
