Our number one rule:
We do not breed any dog that we wouldn’t want to personally own and hunt over. If a Labrador has an undesirable trait, their offspring likely will, too. There are several non-negotiable evaluations that take place before considering a dog for our program, such as sound hips and elbows, a clear eye test, size within the breed standard. Once these boxes are checked, we look at the overall personality of the dog. We want dogs who have great social skills, good drive and style in the field, and a true off-switch when not working. This off-switch extends beyond napping in the kennel. We want to see the dog’s ability to sit behind the line and quietly watch other dogs work without making noise or creeping.
On top of the above mentioned standards, we evaluate several aspects of field work. We want to breed Labrador retrievers who love the water, have a natural delivery to hand, charge hard going out and coming back for a retrieve, and are able to use their noses to work heavy cover. All our Labradors are part of our family and hunted over by us. Our most important goal is to provide you a healthy Labrador that will sit on your lap along with a strong desire to retrieve.
comprehensive overview of theories, goals, and ideologies
It's essential to understand how multiple elements create a cohesive environment for canine well-being and management.
Positive Reinforcement / Force-Free: The belief that training should be entirely based on rewards, avoiding any form of punishment to maintain the highest level of trust.
Balanced Training: An ideology that uses both rewards and fair, well-timed consequences to address high-risk behaviors like aggression or predatory chasing.
Canine-Responsive Practice: Prioritizing the individual dog's emotional state and personality over rigid "one-size-fits-all" standards.
Family-Centric Training: The philosophy that for training to be successful, the entire family must be active participants to ensure consistency in communication.
