Quality Labrador Retrievers since 1989

Located in southwestern Pennsylvania, approximately 25 miles east of Pittsburgh, we have been breeding quality multi-purpose labradors for hunting, service, rescue, conformation and obedience since 1989.
The Labrador Retriever is a most congenial and versatile dog with exceptional intelligence and wonderful working abilities, whether used for hunting, tracking, narcotics detection, as a guide dog, or in obedience. It is most happy, however, as a companion and it will happily take over your favorite chair or sofa (if allowed), as a sign of its acceptance of its esteemed position in the family "pack". As a family pet it has no equal.
Temperament is very important to my breeding philosophy and I breed only from individuals exhibiting sound labrador temperament with the tractability and gentleness so typical of the breed. All breeding stock is OFA certified and eyes are checked yearly by a certified canine opthamologist. Puppies are whelped and raised in my home where they receive ample attention and socialization in a clean, warm environment. Puppies have dewclaws removed, are wormed, given two vaccinations and are checked by my veterinarian before being placed in their new homes. All pet/companion puppies are sold with a limited registration; show and breeding prospects are available by reservation. Older puppies and/or young adults are sometimes available.
Razor (Ch. Windfall Highlander x. Kelleygreens Miss Penelope, C.D.)
Our
smart, handsome young man, Enterprise The Cutting Edge, is the "sharpest"
new kid on the block. Razor had a wonderful start to his show career
beginning at the 1997 Potomac Specialty where he won his 12-18 mos.
regular class under Mr. David Coode (Warringah) and was 3rd in the 15-18
mos. sweeps class under Mrs. Joyce Love (Rickway). A month later at
Miami-Valley LRC, Razor again won his 12-18 mos. regular class under Mr.
Eric Bergishagen (Jagersbo) as well as his 15-18 mos. sweepstakes class
under Mrs. Diane Pilbin (Chucklebrook). And to our great pleasure, he went
BOS in sweeps under breeder-judge Ms. Sue May. At all-breed shows during
that summer, Razor was Best of Winners three times and in addition was
Best of Breed over a Special at the Ravenna K.C. under Mr. Nathaniel Horn.
Thank you, Sharon, for such a wonderful boy. See

Here Razor is shown going Winners' Dog at the 1998 Potomac Specialty under Mr. James Nolan (Veyatie). Thank you, Mr. Nolan, for this wonderful win from both of us!
Lucy (Balrion King's Knight x. Kelleygreens Kewpie)
Lucy, Kelleygreens I Love Lucy, C.D., is my lovely foundation bitch. She is smart, affectionate and a tireless retriever whether on dry land or in water. She imprints her puppies with all of the above traits and produces very tractable and sweet offspring no matter who the sire happens to be. Lucy and her pups are a joy to live with. No wonder I can say: "I love 'I Love Lucy'"!
Rumor (Donalbain Marksman x. Teles Your Favorite Story, C.D.)
Rumor, Teles What You've Heard, is my outstanding chocolate female and one of Lucy's granddaughters. She took a 4-point major at Western Reserve K.C. in December of 1994 under Ms. Patricia Mowbray and has some very nice Specialty wins as well. She has a very sweet and happy disposition at all times and is my constant companion.
The
Puppy Pen!
I am expecting a litter of blacks and yellows in September 2001 by Teles Enterprise Jazz Player (Rocket) x Teles Misery Loves Company (Misery). The puppies should be outstanding.
Most of my puppies are spoken for well before they are born. For more information about availability of puppies you may either telephone me at the number given at the top of this page or send e-mail by clicking on the address below.
