Well, it started out with Roxy, who gave Bonnie so much pleasure, she decided to get a
companion for Roxy. So, early in 2002, she wanted a Lab puppy. When Bonnie wants something,
it is usually not limited to just one ( Ask me about her diamond collection), so very soon we had
three young Lab puppies. One of the registered pups we bought turned out not to be purebred
Lab at all, which bothered us morally. We did not like the thought of someone taking advantage
of people that way. So we now had two beautiful Labrador Retrievers, one mixed Lab, and our
Black Sheep, Roxy. This is the point where I cut her off, four dogs is enough for any household,
even though the whole family  loves them all. Then Bonnie found another registered Lab girl,
and fell in love with her. The mixed Lab was then given to Dad St. John for companionship so
we didn't go over our four-dog quota, and we now had two registered females and one
registered male.... and our Black Sheep, Roxy as a mascot.
 In early 2004, Bonnie was growing very tired of the daily commute to Bakersfield for work and
we devised a plan to allow her to find work closer to home, which included more intense
breeding of our family pets. Since we had four registered Labs, three yellow and one black, we
decided to breed chocolates as well, and my "Cutting her Off" went out the window. When that
happened, we had two registered chocolates, three registered yellows, one registered black,
and our mascot, Roxy. Then she found a Fox Red Labrador and I decided to give up the fight at
eight dogs. Now we have one more new yellow girl from Texas, Skye, two more little Chocolate
baby girls from Wisconsin, Sophia and Sassy, and are getting four more  little Yellow girls,
Shasta, Shotsi, Sinammon, and ???? to complete the harem and raise the total to fifteen labs
plus our ever present Roxy. At this point, what's the difference, coming in our gate is like
swimming in a shark feeding frenzy anyways. Come and visit, you'll see. If you think you have
seen all of our dogs, ask us. We'll show you where we are keeping the rest so it not such an
onslaught for you coming through our gate !!
All of our pets are family members. They all have free run of the 3/4 acre fenced area around
our house and occasionally the 2 acre pasture so they are not couped up in a kennel and I hate
to publish how many of them actually spend the night in our room on cold winter nights (I can't
keep my mittens on and count that high !!).  It has been more than once that I have gone to the
couch out of pure frustration just trying to find leg room.
 We breed most of our dogs for a family oriented, laid back temperament, however we have
included in our breeding stock some top notch, excellent hunting lines and the results have
been remarkable. Inquire about hunting dogs when you contact us before the birth.



       We look forward to finding good homes for our little grand-puppies, and
   making new friends.  Hope to hear from you soon.
      Sincerely,

  Al and Bonnie
