Thank you for your interest in my Labrador Retriever breeding program. I have a small kennel that produces 2-3 litters per year of quality Labrador Retrievers. Before I start telling you about my pups, let me give you a brief lesson on what I do before they arrive.

First of all, temperament is my number one priority for my breeding program. My Labs have very sweet, gentle, calm temperaments. I attribute that to their breeding/pedigrees and the way I raise my pups.

Many, many hours go into the research, comparison, analysis of pedigrees and medical records to make sure they will produce the kind of Labs that I want. I breed Labs to produce what I want in the breed first - the temperament, the conformation, soundness, the blocky head, the color, a nice thick tail, nice topline, etc.

My hope is that with every breeding I do, I can produce Lab puppies that meets and exceeds the Labrador Retriever standard, thereby preserving the wonderful qualities of the breed. I don't just breed to sell a puppy - that is the second part. When I do sell a puppy I make sure that the people I sell to are of the highest quality I can find. I want only the best for these pups, as I am responsible for bringing them into the world. My clients are like extended family. They write, call, email, and send pictures of their Labs as they grow and mature. I welcome all the news and visits.

I feel a very strong bond to all of my Labs throughout their lives. I have a clause in my contract that states at any time in my Labs lives if the owners cannot keep them for any reason they are to be returned to me. I bring them into the world, and I will be responsible for them throughout their lives.

If you live close enough, I will board your Carriage Hill Lab while you are away. I only board my own dogs. The boarders are treated like part of the family and are often found on the couch or on a bed.

All Carriage Hill Labs breeding stock have OFA clearances for hips and elbows and their eyes are tested every year.
