ABOUT US
We are approximately 275 km west of St. John's and 90 km east of Gander.
We are Wade Sutton and Shona Allured-Sutton and as hobby breeders, we are dedicated to producing quality Labradors for both pet and show homes. ALL dogs we breed have appropriate health clearances including hip, elbow, and eye clearances! This includes PRA genetic eye testing! (See Health Clearance information on the "Breeder Beware" page of our website!) Both of us have strong backgrounds in Genetics and Biology. Wade has a Bachelor of Physical Education and Bachelor of Education with a concentration in Biology. Shona has a Bachelor of Science (Biology), Bachelor of Education and Masters degree. Shona has extensive experience in genetics including teaching Biology and Genetics at the provincial college.
We are members in good standing of the Canadian Kennel Club, The Newfoundland (all breed) Kennel Club, the Labrador Retriever Club of Canada (LRCC), and the Atlantic Labrador Retriever (ALRC) Club.
We love our dogs and they are very important members of our family. Therefore, we do not have a large number of dogs and they are NOT kennel dogs. We are NOT a business since we spend more on our dogs than we recover in puppy sales; we are passionate about owning, showing, and breeding our dogs as our hobby and our dogs live in the home and have a very high quality of life. Our recreation and daily activities revolve around our dogs. Some of our dogs are co-owned, live with co-owners, and enjoy the same quality of life as the dogs that live with us. Our dogs enjoy daily walks on the sandy beaches, swims in the ocean and nearby ponds, or walks in the forest trails. They get off lead exercise every day! Their remaining time is spent in the home or with one or both of us outside when we doing outside activities.
We are striving to produce quality puppies and go through great lengths to ensure pups are healthy, conform to the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) breed standard and have wonderful temperaments. Our breeding stock is carefully selected from champion blood lines with hip, elbow, and eye clearances to ensure structure and soundness that meets the breed standard. We also seek the typical friendly, loving Labrador temperament that makes it such a wonderful family member. All our labs have this loving temperament and enjoy a family lifestyle.
Our puppies are home-raised from birth to the time they leave for their new homes and receive hours of attention every day. When we plan a litter, we do so knowing that there will be someone home with the pups at ALL times. In addition, they are well socialized with other dogs, children, adults and a variety of new environments before going to their new homes. All pups are de-wormed, tattooed, CKC registered, well socialized, and vaccinated. Also, all puppies have written health guarantees.
Inquiries are welcome and we encourage all who are considering a new family member to carefully research and be sure that any dog purchased is the quality desired! We welcome and encourage any questions that potential new owners might have regardless of where future owners consider getting their new puppy. Research and knowledge are critical to ensure a future puppy is what you want him/her to be! We also stay in touch with and answer any questions that buyers of our puppies may have in the future.
