Breeding dogs is an intricate process that requires careful consideration of several factors to ensure the production of healthy and high-quality puppies. When selecting a breeding pair, we prioritize the overall health, temperament, and conformation of our dogs. Our breeding considerations include:

Health Clearances – Our potential breeding dogs undergo comprehensive health screenings to evaluate their overall well-being and to identify any hereditary health issues. These screenings usually include evaluations for hip and elbow dysplasia, eye disorders, cardiac conditions, and genetic tests for specific breed-associated diseases.

Genetic Diversity - Maintaining genetic diversity is crucial for the long-term health and vitality of the British Labrador breed. Breeding dogs that are closely related can amplify the risk of inherited disorders and reduce genetic variability. By closely monitoring our breeding lines, we can maintain the genetic diversity necessary for our parents to produce quality pups. Temperament - A dog's temperament plays a significant role in its overall well-being and adaptability. Selecting parents with stable temperaments ensures that positive behavioral traits are passed down to their offspring. Our selected breeding pairs exhibit appropriate socialization skills, intelligence, trainability, and a balanced disposition.

Conformation/Physical Traits - Conformation refers to the physical appearance, structure, and movement of a dog. Our breeding pairs possess desirable breed-specific traits and conform to breed standards. Evaluating the conformation of our parents includes assessing their body proportion, coat type and quality, gait, and overall structure. The goal is to produce puppies that uphold the breed's physical attributes while ensuring soundness, mobility, and functionality.

Performance and Breed Purpose - Our meticulously selected parents are bred for their ability to perform specific tasks that make them excellent gun dogs, working dogs in various categories including service dog work, and phenomenal family dogs. Those traits, skills, and behaviors, have been proven time and time again to be passed on to their offspring.

An example of some of the specific gun dog traits and behaviors we look for in our Labrador sires and dams include:

1. Gamefinding Initiative
2. Calm, Pleasant Disposition
3. High in Intelligence and Easy to Train
4. Natural Delivery to Hand

Our breeding parents are the complete package. They have, the looks, the brains, and the body
