Bitey face shenanigans

Let’s get one thing straight:
We NEED ethical dog breeders.
Not backyard breeders.
Not puppy mills.
Not “oops litters.”
Ethical. Responsible. Passionate. Breeders.

Because the truth is this:

Good breeders don’t just produce puppies — they protect entire breeds.
They’re the reason we still have healthy working dogs, therapy dogs, sport dogs, and family companions with predictable temperaments and solid genetics.

Good breeders raise puppies like they’re staying forever.
Socialization, early exposure, enrichment, confidence-building…
None of that is “extra.” It’s STANDARD.

Good breeders take dogs back, every time.
For life.
No questions. No judgment.
Because their puppies NEVER end up in shelters, ever.

Good breeders breed for preservation, for improvement, and for LOVE.

And here’s the part people don’t want to admit:
Without ethical breeders, we’d lose the breeds we depend on and adore.
Service dog lines.
Duty-driven working breeds.
Family-safe temperaments.
Sound structure.
Predictability.
Purpose.
History.

Shelters are full because of irresponsible breeding —
not ethical breeding.

So next time someone says,
“Just adopt,”
remind them:
You can support shelters
AND still value ethical breeders.

Both matter.
Both play crucial roles.
Both are needed.
Because the breeders doing it right?
They’re the ones keeping dogs healthy, stable, and loved for generations to come.

We LOVE getting updates from our extended family. Just received this one…..

Hi!! I got my Blu from you all in 2022 (Bailey/Cletus) - we took our Christmas photos today and wanted to share. He has been the best dog ever and we always get compliments on his temperament and how well he’s built. He’s changed my life and I’m so thankful for you all and the amazing service you all provide! Happy holidays from Blu and I ❤️

This right here is why Labradors are the best! Fleet had her litter of 3 blacks. Another breeder is having issues with her girl after a C-section and needed to take the pups off mom. Fleet has claimed them as her own without even blinking.

There is no such thing as a SILVER Labrador. [I wrote the article below in about 1990, and updated it from time-to-time.
