Our Labrador pups are whelped in our home to help them gain early
socialization skills and so we can enjoy their company while they remain

Their dew claws are removed, they are dewormed and their first
vaccination will be administered before they are introduced to their new
family with a limited guarantee.
A Jack of All Trades
Labrador Retrievers
are what’s described as, “A Jack of All Trades”.
They are the most versatile of all canine in the dog world.
The Labrador is best
known for it’s ability to retrieve and it’s usefulness for a variety of
thankless jobs. As history
would have it, the Labrador
was called on to retrieve fish that fell from hooks and were used to
haul in swimming lines or fishing nets from icy waters.
Their dense coats were thick and water repellent which allowed
them to withstand extreme conditions.
Sportsmen found that the
Labrador was also adept on land as well as sea for hunting and
retrieving upland birds through thick brambles and underbrush.
Their keen eye and scenting ability has made the
Labrador Retriever
invaluable in the field.
During duck and goose season, the
Labrador is a trusted friend
to the avid hunter who relies on the
Labrador to leave the boat
or blind to swim to the downed birds and return without swamping the
boat.
Labrador Retrievers
have skills that mark them as the most registered breed in the AKC.
Their ability to be our Companion is their most endearing trait.
We expect the Labrador
to Guide us when our eyes aren’t useful anymore.
They keep us Safe when we are no longer physically able to.
The Labrador is used
to assist with auditory impairment as Service Dogs.
The Labrador Retriever
is used as Therapy Dogs in rehabilitation centers. In the long line of skills of the Labrador Retriever, is the job of Detection and Police Sentry Dog used to sniff for explosives and drugs to keep us safe. They Search for the dead and Rescue the living.
The performance of a Labrador
is showcased during Field Trial Events sponsored by the AKC for hunt
titles. Precise location of
planted birds is the object of these trials. Show in Conformation
provides a look at the showmanship and physique of a
Labrador in which everyone
in the show ring hopes for a Championship.
Competition in Agility launches the
Labrador through timed
obstacle courses. Obedience
training finely tune the
Labrador Retriever to respond to precision commands. Canine Good Citizen tests the
Labrador to demonstrate that
he is a respected member of society. So, where did they come from? Newfoundland has a particular body of water flowing along its east coast called The Labrador Current. The St. John’s area of Newfoundland was settled mainly by Englishmen who recognized the importance of the Labrador Retriever and began to preserve the breed which was then called St. John’s dogs in the early 1800’s.
