About Us
We are located in Fresno California on our 15 acre ranch with plenty of room to work the dogs. We are also home to a variety of livestock including a small herd of Boer goats. We actively compete in AKC conformation, hunt tests and in 2007 we will start running field trials. We have both field and show lines in all colors. We occasionally have older dogs for sale. We are members of the Central California Labrador Retriever Club (Christine is serving as the current club President) and the San Joaquin Labrador Retriever Club. We offer puppies to good homes with the time and space to accommodate them on limited registration. We OFA our breeding stock and CERF annually. We strive for sound, loving, companions with the drive to perform. Our dogs are being used in the field for upland and duck hunting, as well as drug detection dogs, and first and foremost as loving companions. We have produced tournament hunting champions, International and American show champions and junior and senior hunters. Our next goal is a master hunter or field champion. If you are thinking about getting a lab, feel free to contact us for more information. We want to help you find your new best friend. From our home to yours. Oh, and yes we do own a select few German Short Haired Pointers and one Chesapeake Bay Retriever "Blade", who at his first show earned his International Puppy Championship and also a Reserve Best In Show win! Blade is only one "Major" win away from his AKC Championship. Our daughter added her very own show dog, Misty a Chinese Crested powderpuff. Misty quickly found a very special place in our hearts with attitude that does not stop and an affection for her owners which rivals the love our labs share with us. Misty won Best Of Winners at her first show handled by Brenna our 6 year old daughter. Brenna is very full of herself now. After all she has handled two labs to their WC titles in the field and has earned points on her puppy all at 6 years of age. What will she do when she is 7? Well, she is out of the gate in running, with more wins on Misty and a new Crested to take to the ring. The first thing after great genes is feeding a product to your dog that promotes even growth, great coats, and the overall good health of your pet, while giving them the energy to perform. After trying many expensive and trendy products, we were very surprised and happy to find Propac Super Premium Dog Food. I was concerned like everyone else with the string of recent pet food recalls. I looked up which pet food companies had not been involved in any of the recalls. What a SHORT list. I researched each company and decided that Propac had both the quality and integrity that I was looking for. They offered a quality product that fit within any budget. I know that everyone is one a budget, and with Propac, you will not have to sacrifice quality to save a few pennies. After switching to Propac we saw that the dogs maintained their energy in the field for longer and we really started seeing success in the show ring. It was the final piece in the puzzle for us. It was great to find a dog food company that believed everyone should be able to afford a PREMIUM pet food without paying a premium price. We strongly recommend giving them a try. We feed the Lamb & Rice variety and send each new puppy home with a bag, just to start them off right. We are also very fortunate in our canine handlers. Ellen Cottingham When you are looking for a handler, honesty, dedication and professionalism are priceless qualities. Ellen has been trusted with our very special four legged children, and that says a great deal about her. |
