Our History

I have been involved with detection dogs since 2001. In that time I have seen a lot of dogs, trained a lot of dogs, and taught handlers with many different breeds. I chose to work with Labrador Retrievers because of their trainability and temperament for working with handlers/trainers at all levels.

​

The breeding stock I have sought out, not only provides the option to breed for drive, temperament, and overall trainability, they also are highly athletic and are tireless. I strongly believe a structured foundation before 12 weeks of age gives the puppies an advantage as the go to their new homes. 

​

My definition of an active home is where the dog will have a job or be out training or actively doing something 3-5 days a week. These are not going to be the type of dogs that will enjoy laying in front of your fireplace if you do not work/train with them. 

​

Over the years I have started over 17 puppies for some sort of detection or hunting work.

Yes, I feed this to the puppies.

Supporting Working Dogs

I want to support a strong immune system in any way that I can! This supplement has shown me through nicer coats, better stools, and less food that it supports all those things.
