I don’t remember a time growing up when we didn’t have a yellow Labrador. They were a staple; the ultimate family dog. When I was 16 my dad took me to pick out my very own puppy.

I don’t remember a time growing up when we didn’t have a yellow Labrador. They were a staple; the ultimate family dog. When I was 16 my dad took me to pick out my very own puppy. But instead I ended up bringing home a 3 year old Labrador named Lady Samantha of Foxwood Farms. Sammy was my first bench bred Labrador (bench bred is commonly referred to as “English”). Prior to this my family had only owned field bred (“American”) labs.
Sammy won me over to well bred dogs from that moment and forever. She was beautiful, calm, less destructive and the smartest dog I’ve ever owned! I could teach her a new trick in one training session and she LOVED to perform.
I had my very first litter out of Sam in 1998. From that litter I kept Josie, who had two litters of her own. At that point I was head technician at a veterinary clinic specializing in reproduction and took a break from breeding labradors to focus on work. working veterinary taught me the importance of selective breeding and health testing. So many heartbreaking health conditions can easily be avoided by breeding responsibly.

After years of working in the veterinary field where I didn’t have the time or money to own a dog, let alone breed them, I met and married my husband and moved to Nevada.

After years of working in the veterinary field where I didn’t have the time or money to own a dog, let alone breed them, I met and married my husband and moved to Nevada.
I had the crazy idea that I wanted to show and breed Wolfhounds, so my first dog in over a decade was a wolfhound named Jeffery. He ended up NOT having the ideal wolfhound temperament (he was aggressive) so he was neutered before he could ever sire a litter.
I learned from that experience and decided to get back into my heart dogs. 5 years ago (in 2017) after years of research I brought Bella home. She is my foundation bitch and the best family pet anyone could ever hope for. She’s an amazing family dog, loves my kids, has had success in the show ring and produces amazing puppies.

My hobby is showing dogs. My goal with each breeding is to produce my next show dog. This benefits my buyers because there’s no possible way I can keep every puppy in the litter so the puppies I don’t keep go to you.

This benefits my buyers because there’s no possible way I can keep every puppy in the litter so the puppies I don’t keep go to you. This way, my buyers get all the benefits I look for in my own dog; Amazing conformation, great health, the ideal Labrador temperament and so much more.
I am not a large scale breeder. My dogs are a part of our family and live in our home, not in kennels outside. I only have 1 dog at the moment but at most I’ll only ever have 2-3 dogs. They are family first and always.

I am a firm believer in health testing. All dogs used in breeding programs should have clearances completed prior to their first litter. My dogs have OFA certification for hips, elbows, cardiac and dentition. I also do breed specific DNA panels through Paw Print Genetics (even if cleared by parentage). And I feel it’s important for the majority of dogs in the parent’s pedigrees to also be health tested. The more history they have of normal hips, elbows and hearts the less likely their puppies will have concerns even into old age.
So many backyard breeders think that because their dogs aren’t exhibiting problems now that they are healthy and so will their puppies be. But not all dogs show symptoms while they are breeding age and what you don’t know can hurt the puppies you produce leaving the owner to deal with the heartbreak that is often preventable with responsible breeding.
