Sinagua Labradors

Two weeks ago the Labrador Retriever Community was shattered by the passing of Tina Donahue of Quail Chase Labradors. On a personal level, Tina was a dear friend and mentor to me. I really don’t have words, only that the world was better with Tina in it! I wanted to post because I have been blessed and honored to carry the Quail Chase bloodlines in all of my dogs and our most recent litters were from their beloved Jolly and Titan. Tina personally came to my home (over an hour drive) and evaluated my “Jolly” litter to help me choose my “keeper” pups Winslow and Sedona. Tina was a warrior, battling cancer for over 13 years! You would never have guessed it when you met her though as she always had a smile and positive attitude. All of those who have one of our puppies share in carrying on the legacy that Tina built alongside her husband, Duke. If you are interested in sharing a note about your puppy or sending condolences to Duke and all those affiliated with Quail Chase Labradors, please comment here or send an email to [email protected]. I will compile a little book and send it to them. 😘 - Gayle

Does your precious pup need a place to call home while you travel this summer? I have space for up to 4 dogs at any given time and would love to have your dog come stay! Let me know if I can help! Message me with questions or additional info on rates and add-on grooming /training services!

Labrador Breeder Friends… would love to know your thoughts on these two puppies. One was considered a show prospect and the other a pet. I just think they both look so similar at 6-7 weeks, I want to figure out what I’m missing.

This VERY sweet, big boy is looking for a new home. He is neutered and up to date on shots and deworming. He is an absolute joy to have around and if I had more space, he would be staying! He has basic obedience training and was started in hunt training as a young pup. He needs a family with a yard and that will include him in as many activities as possible. He would be amazing in dog sports as well. Please message me for additional info and price. He is not free.

This sweet, beautiful boy is looking for a family to love! He is almost 3, up to date on all shots/deworming and is neutered. He’s a big guy weighing in at 85lbs and needs someone who is comfortable with a big dog, although his house manners are amazing and he has fit in with my dogs and routine perfectly. He has some basic obedience training and was started on water retrieves (ducks) as a young pup. He needs a yard and someone who will include him on their adventures as much as possible. Please text or message me if you would like to meet him. He is not free.

Stunning almost 3 year old, chocolate, male Labrador available. Dash is neutered, up to date on shots/deworming, has basic obedience training and was started on water retrieves (ducks) as a 6-month old pup. He is as sweet as can be, but big and strong, so looking for a home that’s prepared to handle an 85lb dog and can provide him additional training/socialization and lots of opportunities for outdoor activities. I will be working with him on those things until he finds his forever home. He is not free or cheap. For more info, please message me.

Does your pup need a bath? Nail trim? I have limited spots available for grooming this month. Message me for availability and pricing.

My little hooligan Winslow (Jolly x Lina) finally got his win picture! He was Winners Dog two of the three days (but I only got one picture) for his first 3 points towards his AKC Championship at just 7 months old! So happy with this guy! Big thank you to the judges that chose him!

I don’t know if I’ve ever cried so many tears for one of my dogs, but there were certainly a lot of them today and probably more to come. Until we meet again my sweet Lina! I know you’ll be loved beyond measure and have the best life with your new family. Even better than I could have given you. Thanks for all the adventures and for being the best momma to your babies. There’s a special place in my heart for you always. 🥰 Be a good girl!

***UPDATE-LINA HAS FOUND AN AMAZING HOME!
This amazing and lovely girl is retiring from our program. She is AKC Major Pointed, has all her health clearances and is looking for a semi-active family to call her own. She just turned five. She produced three beautiful litters of puppies and is ready to be the center of someone’s life! She loves to go on adventures but also loves her little spot on the couch. She is super sweet and loves all people. She is playful, but doesn’t have a ton of drive for dog sports, hunting or retrieving. She would be an excellent obedience/rally prospect or would LOVE scent work. She would also be a good candidate to be a therapy dog. She is not free. If you are interested in meeting Lina, please fill out a puppy application at www.sinagualabradors.com and state you are interested in an adult dog.

This pretty girl is looking for an active home to be loved and spoiled at. She is AKC Champion Pointed, OFA hips excellent, elbows normal, and clear on all genetic testing for Labradors. She has basic obedience started, loves dock diving and fast cat and already has her AKC Farm Dog title. She was started on duck retrieves as a pup and was exposed to gun fire, and land and water retrieves. She is 2 1/2 years old and ready to really go places with someone that has the desire to focus on activities with her. I would love to see her continue in companion events or hunting as she has the drive to do whatever you want. She will be spayed before she leaves or will be on a spay contract. She is a really special girl and I will be picky about where she goes. She is not free. If you are interested please fill out a puppy application at www.sinagualabradors.com and specify that you are interested in an adult dog.

We have two adult female chocolate Labradors looking for amazing new families. They are not free and will be spayed before leaving or will be on contract to be spayed. One is a retired show dog and momma from our program. She is 5. Will do amazing with an active family. The other is 2 1/2 and started on ducks. Would be an excellent hunting prospect or would excel in dog sports (fast cat, dock diving, agility, scent work, etc) If you are interested in learning more about these girls, please fill out a puppy application at www.sinagualabradors.com and state that you are interested in an adult.

We are a small breeder of English Labrador Retrievers out of Queen Creek, Arizona. Temperament and confirmation are of upmost importance to us and the breed. Thank you for visiting Sinagua Labradors.

These little peanuts got moved out of the office and into the dining room today. Momma Truly doesn’t like to be away from the goings on in the house and wasn’t spending enough time taking care of them. She would nurse and then bail, without cleaning them or cleaning up after them. They were so stinky! 🤢 They all got a quick bath and nursed and then were out cold! They are a precious little bunch and I’m glad to have them out where we can play with them more!

BIG Thank You to Kristina Rock for getting my girl out to some shows while I was home with puppies for the last couple of months. Dream came home with her first points and I am thrilled!

09/18/2023

Truly was a total ROCK STAR!! ⭐️ 7 healthy pups… 3 black males, 3 black females and 1 chocolate female. Phew, I’m exhausted!

09/11/2023

Well, call me crazy, but these two are staying for now. Red male (Winslow) and pink female (Sedona). Stay tuned for official names later. The rest of the hooligans go home this weekend. Duke-Tina Donahue

Alrighty! It’s contest time! Guess which of these little nuggets is the heaviest right now and I’ll send you a little prize!

Sometimes people wonder how, as a breeder, we can just “get rid of” or “discard” our retired mommas. Well, just watch this and see what our Oakley’s life is like with her family as the only dog. If she had stayed with us, she would be sharing our time and attention with four or five other dogs. It’s kinda hard to take them all out for ice cream! Don’t get me wrong, we love her so much and there were tears as we sent her off to her new home, but we knew that this was the best situation for her and NOT a decision we made lightly. How blessed we are that she went to an amazing family and very good friends of ours as well! Everyone should be so lucky to have that perfect situation! What are the benefits of receiving someone’s precious retired momma? Well, already house trained, basic manners/obedience, usually already spayed, and no dealing with the puppy stage, often they have been shown and so are great travelers also!

Happy first birthday to Lina/Maui litter of ten! Obi, Luna, Aspyn, Embry, Rue (Peru), Theo, Mocha, Rose, Duke and Bruno!
