Welcome!Located in Western Iowa, we are a small breeding program raising AKC Labrador Retrievers. We aim to preserve the Labrador type and temperament we all know and love, while having high standards for soundness and health. We are proud to say that many of the puppies we've raised have gone on to make great hunting companions, therapy dogs, service/assistance dogs, and of course beloved family pets.

All of our breeding dogs are our pets, first and foremost. They live a fun life here on our cattle/crop farm where there is plenty of space to "be dogs". High quality nutrition, free-range exercise, and plenty of quality time are some of the things we provide to keep them in great shape mentally and physically.
Our puppies are raised with plenty of hands-on attention and healthy socialization. We pay very close attention to their health and development in order to give them the best start to life. We are firm believers in "a little dirt never hurts", our puppies explore and tumble around outside from an early age. We feel this sets them up for a life as healthy, adaptable, stable companions. |

We extensively health test all of our dogs prior to breeding. This includes passing ratings on OFA hips, elbows, eyes, and cardiac clearances, in addition to genetic testing for EIC, PRA-prcd, HNPK, CNM, DM, MCD, and more as needed. We are proud that all of our dogs have pedigrees stacked with several generations of solid orthopedic and health clearances as well, which greatly increases the chances of produces healthy and sound puppies.
