All of are dogs are raise as a
part of our Family. Growing up I was taught and strongly Believe in only Breeding Dogs that will complement or better their
breed. My Father Bred Golden Retrievers for Approx. 10yrs and I've been breeding Chocolate Labs for 4 - 5 years.
My dogs are very mild in temperment and have had their hips certified (OFA). They are Registered AKC. I also have their Breeding
lines,which are available upon request.
Our dogs and puppies live in our home
in Elk River,MN on about 10 acres and are well loved and cared for. I try to think of things to make it easier on my
puppies and their potential owners.When the puppies are three to four weeks old we start to separate their birthing box into
separate areas (Blankets on one side and shredded newspaper on the other),they seem to do very well with early potty
training. We also put Collars on our puppies at this age,they aren't bothered by it like they are if you wait til they're
eight or nine weeks old. Spring,summer and fall puppies(4 + weeks old) are taken in turn to the parks and or my
son's Baseball or football games and pratices for Socializing. And with weather Permitting they are introduced to
water (either our big above ground pool or our dogs kiddie pool) with great care and supervision. They are
also introduced to the scents of Duck,Pheasant and Grouse.
At eight weeks
of age all puppies will be Wormed 3 to 4 times,had their dew claws removed and will have had their first set of shots.
