We want to take the time to tell you a little bit about our family. Chris and I have four wonderful children, two boys, and two girls. Our sons are both married entrepreneurs and have started their families and businesses.  We were blessed with three grandchildren, Cooper, Violet, and Salem, and we are excited to see them grow with our wonderful lab family. They all love to come to Papa and Nana's house to play with our labs and puppies, not to mention all our other farm animals.

Our oldest daughter is now living in San Antonio and is working as a Medical Information Technologist. Our "Baby" lives in San Antonio and she is now working as a Surgical Tech.

Each of our kids has had some special part in our lab life, whether it be helping in cleaning the kennels or helping in socializing our dogs/puppies. We love knowing that our kids will have experience and knowledge-raising Labs and entrepreneurship. Something that they will be able to share with the generations to come.

In Memory of Luke and Liberty

Luke and Liberty have since crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

We know in our hearts that they are happy to be together again, running and playing. We miss them but see their legacy live on in our new litters, which makes our hearts happy again.

Becoming AKC Labrador Breeders

In 2003 we planted our roots here in Texas. We lived in Illinois before we moved to Texas. Chris is originally from Texas, and I am from Illinois.

Our love for labs grew after we bought Luke, our first lab in Illinois.

We wanted Luke to have a companion. We had always wanted to breed Luke as well. So we looked and found the perfect mate—Liberty, our chocolate female.

Expanding Our Facility

After moving to Texas, our 8 acres had not only one house on the land but two houses. Chris and I took days looking at the 2nd home that was unfinished, trying to decide what to do with it, tear it down, or use it in some way.

THE NURSERY

After thinking about it, we figured it would be crazy to knock it down. We ended up converting it to be a sturdy home for our dogs. We also have made a portion of the house into the "Nursery" where the mommas can feel safe and secure in their own whelping area. Our Labs now have a 1600sq ft home for them to enjoy. In the meantime, our lab family has grown with 20+ new additions.

THE PUPPY HOUSE

Our family of dogs has been growing, and we knew it would be best to add an additional house onto the property. There is one adorable house with the cutest white picket fence around it, and this is called our "puppy" house. The puppy house is where our customers can have plenty of room to interact with their new addition. We have added new sod and some wrought iron benches to make it much cozier.

INDOOR AND OUTDOOR DOG RUNS

We then added another building for our growing boarding customers. This awesome house has eight indoor/outdoor runs with plenty of room for your furry family member to enjoy. There are also two good-sized fenced-in grassy play areas for your dogs or puppies to run, play and splash in. This house also has air conditioning and heat.
