I am a small hobby kennel located in southeastern Connecticut,

dedicated to responsibly breeding healthy, well-socialized Labrador Retrievers with wonderful temperaments and correct conformation.

Puppies are raised in my home. They are born in my dining room and then move to other parts of the house as they grow. In this way, they are exposed to all the everyday activity and noise you would expect in any pet-friendly home.

My adult Labrador Retrievers have health clearances: OFA hips, elbows and eye exams, plus genetic tests for hereditary conditions.

I train and show my dogs in conformation, obedience, rally obedience, agility, and fieldwork, giving each dog a well-rounded foundation and plenty of stimulation. I love collecting props and staging fun photoshoots with the puppies, capturing their personalities as they grow. Yes, I absolutely LOVE my Labradors—they are intelligent, kind, and affectionate companions who bring joy to everyday life. And yes, despite their size, they are the perfect LAP DOGS, always ready to snuggle and share warmth and comfort.
