Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind AimPowers Retrievers located in Six Mile, SC. We are breeders seeking to continue to improve our breed and to raise healthy, well-balanced Retrievers. The goal we set and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.

Linda’s experience

  • About Linda

    I have worked with animals my whole life and began my dream of breeding quality Labradors 10 years ago. I devote myself to my dogs and puppies continually seeking ways to improve my breeding program. For me, it is a labor of love.

  • What makes Linda’s program special

    Every one of my females is from exceptional bloodlines and has been raised keeping their natural talents as their foundation. My puppies are raised the Avidog way and are handled from birth and indoctrinated with experiences making them strong, brave and loving.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

We begin handling our pups at birth. We do early sensory and neurological activities. We begin immediately placing different stuffed animals and toys among pups and fill the pen with various noise and movement toys so nothing startles them. We take them out on field walks and allow interaction with both adults and children. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Scent introduction, Car rides, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Potty Training, Sit Command, Socialized with Children, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Elderly, Sound Stimulation, Household Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Touch Desensitization, Toys, e.g. Ball, Chew, e.g. Bone, Scents, and Structures, e.g. Climbing.

Puppy health practices

We use a worming protocol founded by Avidog for both mom and pups. Pups are vaccinated according to nomograph results. Dewclaws are removed at 4 days old. All pups are microchipped before leaving us.

Extras

We send our puppies home with Microchip, Basic obedience & manners, and Registration.

More about Linda

  • Why Linda started breeding

    I got my first Lab from the humane society. She was eight months old, and had already had a litter and a broken leg and had been abused. She was the most incredible natural quartering and flushing Retriever I had ever seen. Unfortunately, due to her poor bloodlines, she had hip dysplasia and was blind before she was 10. It was then I decided to breed quality bloodlines and health clearances.
