It is my goal to have clean genetics with all my breedings. To do this, I test with available DNA tests for the inheritable diseases that Labradors have to date. I breed for best health, among other characteristics, for the Lab. Check out my Litters page to see which puppies are available now and in the future. I love having my puppies go to great homes in Washington, Oregon, California, and Montana.

12 years ago I so chose to keep Einstein out of an accidental litter, neutered and competed with for 7 yrs. He was my guy, my pet, never made a dime on him, slept next to me in bed as my body pillow next to me, my protector, my protector of the home and everyone liked him.
He was a talent in the field on birds. Never missed a mark and lined all and very one of his blinds. Just for giggles and to show the Judges at comps I had control of him I would give him a sit whistle right at the bird (after he ran or swam a straight line), he held steady, looked down at the bird, up at me, back down at the bird and then looked back at me...whistle, grab the bird and cruise in....until he decided one day enough is enough I am going to hold onto the bird and not give it up. Competing then was over. It was ok.....he had his MH title at age 3, I wasn't breeding with him and he became my sidekick to train young dogs with for retrieves and steady work.
I started my business training Labs and breedings 12 yrs ago. Am I a wreck he is gone? You betcha. I will miss him terribly so each and everyday til I see him in Heaven. Speaking of Heaven, Ginger his sister has been waiting for him. They were best of friends growing up together, always together, one waiting for the other. 11:30 AM, he left me but at 11:31 AM he was back in his prime running along with his sister Ginger and his Mom, Grace.
Einstein a month ago started coughing and an elevated temp. Did an x-ray and saw one of his fatty tumors on his side had grown into his lung and there was a tumor. He was coughing up blood. After a month, he had lost 15 pounds, spitting up blood from time to time, anemic and temp went away. I did bucket list for him this week: swimming after a few bumpers a day and a few frozen pigeons and then finally gave him a live bird and let him do what he had desired to do for his entire life....squish it, eat it and swallow it. It made his life worthwhile being able to do this. And best part, I let him and he did it right in front of me.
Einstein was a tall big boy, not along the lines of my usual style of breeding but didn't matter.....he went out and retrieved and both he and I had fun. I've been dreading today taking him and letting him go but I needed to be his best friend today and to let him go. He was with me in the beginning and throughout many adventures and travels and to a quiet last 2 years in NE Oregon living a quiet and peaceful life. I'm numb right now realizing he is gone, unable to answer how long the numbing will last.
He was a kind and fun boy. He was my boy and will forever be my pet I chose to have 12 yrs ago and not a dime made on him. RIP Love's Dr. Einstein Master Hunter. I will see you on the other side. Until then I will miss you and think of you each and everyday.
