High quality Labrador Retrievers for people who want healthy, intelligent additions to their families. Full health screenings on both parents.

Championship bloodlines both in Confirmation and Field. Well socialized puppies to excellent homes only. Mission Statement

Our goal is to provide happy, healthy, well socialized Labrador Retriever puppies to qualified families. We will do so in an environment that fosters trust and a sense of community. Puppies and their families will have access to us and families should feel comfortable contact

ing us for any reason concerning their puppy, even years later. We will provide clear concise contracts, health guarantees, AKC registration papers, health records and information on diet and training. We will only breed healthy dogs that meet AKC breed standards and endeavor to improve the quality of Labrador Retrievers available to the general public. Our dogs will always be unaffected by genetic defects as detected by DNA testing before being bred. We will test the hips, elbows, eyes and heart of all breeding dogs. We will raise the pups in our home with all of the normal sounds and stimuli of a normal household, including cats. Our dogs are our friends and our family, we will treat them as such at all times.

Winner is Kerri Forni with her guess of 5:52 am Sunday

1st pup born 7:58 15.13 oz yellow girl

UPDATE: 1:30 am Saturday morning temp 98.7 and 98.3 at 5 am

Person to guess the closest time and date that Teal X Bones first puppy is born wins these yard stakes. I think she will drop below 98.5 tonight. This is her second litter. Her first litter she gave birth 32 hours later. The usual time is 24 hours. She had 9 pups last time, all huge. She looks to be having 9 again. I am going to bed. Getting some of tomorrow's sleep tonight.

Copper x Bones 1 week old yesterday. They are scooting around starting to toddle and becoming more vocal. Eyes are closed, can't hear yet but are very good at finding the milk bar. Nails were trimmed yesterday, Early Neurological Stimulation period is 1/2 done, they switch to one weigh a day instead of two. Red collar boy I am calling Jumping Jack Flash for his splash of white on his chest. Green is Ivy, Orange is Ruby, waiting on names from the other parents.

Big, 18.4 oz boy born 10:57 am Wed. Jan 8th, 2025

The person to guess the closest date and time for Copper x Bones first pup to be born wins this blanket.

Update: temp jumped back up to 99.3 before bed but was 98.3 at 5:30 am. Labor has not started but she wants to be in the whelping box.

Last time she delivered 23 hours after her temp dropped to 98.9. That was her temp at 4pm Jan 7th.
Her due date is Jan 9th.
She has 6 maybe 7 pups and this is her 2nd litter.
Normally you are looking at 98.5 or lower but I was asleep last time she would of reached that temp. I will update if she drops more before bedtime.
