The sweet-faced, lovable Labrador Retriever is America’s most popular dog breed. Labs are friendly, outgoing, and high-spirited companions who have more than enough affection to go around.

Why do you love the breed?

Written by a veterinary technician:
My purchase of a well-bred purebred dog does not condemn another dog to death.
My purchase of a well-bred purebred dog does not result in an uptick in the shelter dogs.
My desire to have a dog with predictable temperament from a healthy line does not result in another dog not getting adopted at the shelter.
My careful research on the most responsible breeders who meet all requirements is not the problem. It's not what you should be mad at.
It's not who you should blame.
I am not the one who irresponsibly brought these dogs into this world and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders aren't the ones bringing these dogs to animal shelters either.
It's my home, my life and my choice what kind of dog I want to bring in. Maybe I need a working dog, sport dog, show dog or just a companion dog of a certain breed that suits me best.
Whatever reason I choose to support a reputable breeder, it will not send an animal protection dog to death.
A breeder who does health tests, temperament tests and titling of their dogs does not contribute to the number of stray dogs.
The number of stray dogs in the world is a problem, but it's not a problem made worse by reputable breeders or those who buy from them.
Your neighbor who gets a "purebred" dog without papers because they're cheap is contributing to the problem.
Your friend who spontaneously bought a puppy from Petland is contributing to the problem.
The person scrambling to pump out the hottest designer mix ASAP is contributing to the problem.
Your relatives who have to get their dog covered once, "so she can experience what it's like to be a mother" or because "she's such a good/cute/sweet girl" are contributing to the problem.
Your old school mate who bought a working dog with lots of energy without taking the time to research its needs and character who ultimately sees it doesn't fit his lifestyle is the problem.
A reputable breeder offers lifetime support. A serious breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter from the start.
It's understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you look closer, you'll find that your anger is misplaced.

I have a friend who is looking for some great homes for these pups! He adopted this dog and didn’t know she was due to have pups. Now he has 5 still looking for a forever home! They are Beagle/Blue healer mixes. 5 weeks old. They are getting their first round of shots and deworming on the 14th. 5 females left. If you are interested please contact Kolby Stark 419-799-0813.

We are slowly getting all the things to make our dream happen! This little man is the “T” in our name. He is getting excited about what is to come! ☺️ We can’t wait to share with you all!

This was taken from the following article. Please read and make sure you are doing your research on breeders.

"Run, don’t walk, from any breeder who is actively marketing puppies that deviate from the breed standard. This includes Toy dog breeders who boast about their “teacups”: These cleverly marketed runts are susceptible to a variety of health problems – starting with the inability to maintain their blood-sugar levels – and are not a recognized size in any breed.

Fad colors should also send you streaking for the exit. The only reason to intentionally perpetuate them is to cash in on the naiveté of buyers who are willing to pay top dollar because of their “rarity.”"

This is me (on the right) and my sister with our first labrador, Lizzy.

We are going to be switching gears over here at A&T. It will be a slow progress and cant wait to show you! For those inquiring about mini Dachshunds, we have retired our bitch and stud mini dachshunds, Lola and Zeke. Zeke has found a new home we are so excited for him to live out his farm dream. Lola is going to just be a lazy house pup for us! I do still have very good friends and connections for people who are looking for pups. I'll post any available pups and try to get you all in contact with reputable breeders.

We will be moving to our other passion of English Labrador Retrievers. There are so many ideas and plans happening, this is just the beginning. I can't wait to show you what our goals are with this new endeavor. We have also moved to our permanent location of Ridgeville Corners, OH and have such a great new space for all of our ideas. Be on the lookout for next year to get introduced to our breeding program.

**NEEDS A NEW HOME** Luke is a 4 year old neutered male mini dapple dachshund. He is crate trained, house broke, good with all ages of kids and other dogs. Not sure about cats, but he does like to explore so he will need a leash or a fenced in yard. The current owners just don’t have enough time to spend with him. He is not up to date on vaccines. Let me know if your interested in this boy ❤️
