Why we got involved in breeding

We have owned mamy labradors in the past. We love the breed and their beautiful nature and want to share the experience with other fur parents. We aim to maintain or improve the breed standards so many more people can enjoy them without health concerns for a long healthy life of the dog.

Our special touch

Our dogs are an essential part of our family. They live in our home and are loved and spoiled and we couldnt bare life without them. Our pups are raised the same way.
