I'm the breeder behind Cactus Rose Labradors located in Troy, TX. Here at CRL, our number one priority is our dogs. We put many hours of effort and care in to not only our puppies, but our Dams and Sires. Our dogs are all very important members of our family, and we care extensively about their well being. Our main goal is to produce well rounded retrievers that can excel in any venue they are challenged in. A big goal of ours is that every dog in our program is titled in some event, and we are working very hard on this as we speak. Join the Cactus Rose Family, and help us chase our dream!

We raise our puppies on the Puppy Culture program. We also allow our other adult dogs and friends/family to interact with the puppies, that way they see many different dogs and people before going home, all while in a safe environment. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Puppy Culture .
