ABOUT US:

We are a small hobby kennel although we do not actually have a "kennel". We've owned Labs since our first boy, "Jake" in 1983.

"Baby Jake"

It was through Jake that we fell in love with the Labrador breed. Many years later with our 4 children grown we were able to concentrate on our "4 footed kids"

Our labs all live in the house with us as part of our family. When they aren't out running in the farm fields adjacent to our house they can be found on our couch or at our feet...or waiting for dinner.   Our Labs enjoy swimming in our pool or just lounging on the porch.

Our areas of interest are conformation and obedience. We breed with the purpose of improving our kennel and keeping a pup to show. Occasionally we have puppies available to loving homes for companionship. Before any breeding takes place both the Dam and Sire are cleared for hip dysplasia through OFA Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Eyes are cleared CERF CERF - Canine Eye Registration Foundation by a board certified canine opthomologist. Dr. Riis from Cornell checks our girls annually. Because we are concerned with over population of pets most of our puppies are sold on AKC Limited Registration.

The puppies are whelped in our home with the dining room becoming a temporary nursery. We've owned and operated an office furniture and supply business for the past 30 years and being self-employed allows Ann to be home full time for at least 2 months with the pups. They receive daily socialization and cuddling and visits from neighbors and children. The puppies are exposed to a noisy household with TV, music, and vacuum cleaner. In warmer weather they are outside a couple times a day for supervised play. In cold weather their play area is our sun room. All puppies are temperament tested to ensure a match with their new families.

Each puppy goes home with a puppy packet that contains their AKC papers, pedigree, health clearances of the sire and dam, a copy of the book, What All Good Dogs Should Know, baby pictures and record of their first immunizations and vet check. We're always available to help with any questions or problems that might arise. We enjoy hearing from our pups' new families and love to see pictures!
