My family has a small Labrador breeding program which we are constantly working to improve, but we're very responsible and knowledgeable, and of our breeding dogs are health certified. It does take a LOT of time, money, and some really getting your  hands dirty. Puppies are not cute all of the time! We've seen a lot in our limited experience, and are lucky to have a mentor who has many years and many many litters more experience than we do.
