Our love of Labradors began about 35 years ago when we acquired our first lovely female, Rose. Despite a few tries, we never got any puppies from Rose. We then embarked on a long relationship with a local service dog organization where we had the privilege of puppy-raising individual pups for about 15 months to prepare them for advanced training. We also hosted 4 litters for the service dog organization over the years and our love for Labradors increased with every puppy that was in our care.

When we had the opportunity to acquire a nice 3-yo female for breeding, we decided to have our very own litter. Ruby is a product of that breeding. She has been in our care since she was a few days old. We have lovingly trained her to be a wonderful family companion. Ruby has a Level 2 title from the National Association of Canine Scent Work. She is a focused and inspired retriever and worker. After three lovely litters, Ruby has retired from motherhood.

Sapphire is a daughter of Ruby and Poker, born in October 2021. We are pleased to add her to our breeding program. Her upcoming April, 2025 litter will be her first. She is an easy-going family companion. She is very adaptable and enjoys hiking and visiting the beach. We are training and trialing in canine scent work. She has achieved NASCW Level 1, so far.

After fully vetting Sapphire from a health and structural point of view (see her pedigree and health certifications on the Parents page) and allowing her to fully mature, we searched for a champion male with OFA excellent hips and a great track record of producing sound, healthy pups. We are honored to have GCH Popway’s Let’s Go Tagless “Hanes” as the sire of our upcoming litter. Hanes is an outstanding dog and has sired pups successful in the show ring, service and therapy work and many canine sports as well as faithful family companions. Hane’s health clearances are available on the Parent’s Page.

Our puppies are cared for and lovingly raised in our home until about 4 weeks of age. We then move them into the “Puppy Palace” (our garage which has been transformed into a puppy haven) which provides safe and enriching indoor and outdoor space for their further development. We use Transformational Puppy Rearing philosophy from birth until pups go to their new home.

We take great pleasure in following the growth and development of our pups as they achieve their roles of family companions, working and hunting retrievers, and service dog candidates.

Please follow this site for updates on the birth, growth and development of our next litter of puppies.

We are happy to discuss our puppies and to invite you for a personal visit and puppy snuggle if your interest in applying for one of these special pups is sincere.

Thanks for your interest in our beloved puppies.
