Hello, and welcome! We are so excited to share our passion for Labrador Retrievers with you. We live in beautiful Ashland, Missouri, where my husband and I have been married for 12 years. Labs have been a massive part of our love story from the very beginning. We’ve shared our home and hearts with two incredible Labradors over the years. We also have two daughters (ages 8 and 10) who ensure our dogs get just as much playtime and affection as they do field training. While this is our very first litter, our goal has always been to breed the ultimate "dual purpose" Labrador: a dog with the intense drive and talent to excel in the field, combined with the sweet, gentle disposition to be a beloved couch companion at the end of the day. Meet the Dam: Kota (Age 4) Kota is truly the heart of our home. She comes from an outstanding line of trial and hunting dogs, and my husband trained her himself to be an exceptional bird hunting dog. In the Field: She is an incredible retriever with a relentless work ethic and immense drive. At Home: The moment the hunting gear comes off, Kota flips a switch. She is a gentle, affectionate family house dog who loves our daughters just as much as she loves the hunt. As a Mom: Since welcoming this litter, Kota has been an absolutely amazing mother, taking flawless care of her puppies with a patient and nurturing spirit. Meet the Sire: Riggs To complement Kota's incredible traits, we chose Riggs as our stud. Riggs is a powerhouse who brings an elite competitive edge to this litter. Pedigree & Performance: Coming from a prestigious line of hunting and trial champions, Riggs is a decorated trial dog who competed over the last 9 years and is now retired. Accolades: He has won numerous awards in the trial circuit, proving his top tier intelligence, trainability, and athletic build. Why This Litter is Special: By pairing Kota’s fantastic family temperament and proven hunting drive with Riggs’ elite trial success, these puppies have the ultimate genetic foundation. Whether you are looking for a dedicated hunting partner, a competitive trial dog, or an unforgettable family companion who can do it all, these puppies have it in their blood. Thank you for trusting us as you look for your next family member. We can’t wait to watch these puppies grow and thrive in their new homes!
