Our story is pretty simple.  I was raised around labs most of my life.  They are a happy, friendly dog and always so glad to
see anyone.  So when our elderly dogs died, we talked about what kind of dog to get.  For me, there was no second thought,
A Lab.   

We found a website we liked, the dogs looked great and it seemed like the people loved their animals.  We contacted them,
visited their kennel, got on a list and had pick of litter.  The rest is history.  Abbey quickly became the center focus for the
entire family.  We fight over who's dog she really is, but she will tell you she is a Daddy's girl.  We loved the breeding of
Abbey and took her back to the original kennel to breed her to one of the other studs.  They made beautiful puppies as seen
in the left top corner of this page.  More of them as adults in the photo album. Abigail's Sugar Cookie is from this litter with
Samson.  

We took Abbey in for her shots before going down to the stud again and were told about these wonderful people and their
beautiful dogs, named Al and Bonnie St. John and we were introduced to their website at the vet's office.  We immediately
hit it off, as most Lab lovers do.  We took Abbey to meet Duke, who wasn't interested at the time, but Bruin was.  So we had
a litter of black and chocolate puppies.  They were beautiful and so shiny.  You can see the chocolates and blacks in our
photo album.  We know many of the owners and get updated pictures once in awhile.

Well after we were done with the litter, Al suggested that we should find English breeding, chocolate sisters, and have more
fun breeding the sisters.  So Al got on the internet and found us sisters.  Sarah and Sienna came home a few weeks later.  
You can see pictures of the girls traveling home in the photo album.  If you read Al and Bonnie's story on their home page, Al
makes it sound like it's all Bonnies doing.  Well, I'm setting the record straight.  Al is the original "Ring Master" of these
events.  Thanks Al and Bonnie.  We are having fun and we really treasure our friendship.   

Lucy has her story too.  When St John's Countrylabs had their litter of Fox Red, I was immediately drawn to Lucy.  She went
home with the Anderson family and they love her very much.  But they had 2 Alpha females and that doesn't always work.  So
they offered us Lucy and we are completely in love with her.  She is very friendly and really likes all of her new "sisters".   
They all play wonderfully.  

Since adding Lucy, we have gotten Cookie back and bought Shooter.  We gave my stepmom Jan a male puppy, Rice's
Leed and she lives in Red Bluff.  We had kept a puppy from the litter, Cookie.  Jan's neighbor really wanted one of Leed's
siblings and talked me  into selling her to him.  I wasn't sure it was the right thing to do, but we did it anyway.  Cookie wasn't
like Leed, she was a country dog but not a ranching/hunting dog.  So it didn't work out.  I told the neighbors if it didn't work out
I would take her back.  So she came home during Christmas vacation in 2008.  She is back with us, has transitioned
wonderfully and isn't going anywhere again.  This was always her home.  And Cookie seems so glad to be back home.

Shooter was bought by the St. John's from a breeder back East.  We met him as a puppy and just fell in love with him.  He
was so cute.  When the St. John's decided to buy Shooter's dad, Stetson, we decided to buy Shooter.  He is finally growing
into his legs.  He is like a teenage boy, the more food you give him, the more he wants and then he grows.  Shooter is a
character and LOVES to play in water and bite at the water coming out of the hose.  You won't find a more loving dog then
Shooter.

Our dogs are a part of our family.  They are indoor and outdoor dogs.  They all have manners and basic obedience training.  
We also have 5 children and 13 wonderful Grandchildren.  We live in the Mountains in Central California.  It's a quiet lifestyle
but it works for all of us.
Who can resist these cute little
pudgie, sweet, polar bear puppies?   
Aren't they adorable?

These are pictures of Lucy with the ball and playing keep away.  She ran and ran and ran for about 10 minutes not letting
anyone get the ball.  They were worn out after that.  She has never done that before, or since.  Must have been the snow.
All of our girls are on a break their next season.  If you are
interested in being on our list, please call or email us. FOX RED
FEMALE at VISALIA SHELTER NEEDS YOU NOW.  We don't
know her situation but look at the picture below.
