Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Kristen located in Husser, LA. Our high & adamant standards allow us the ability to produce top-quality Labrador and Golden Retrievers.

Q. & A. with Kristen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As social media has made casual breeding more popular within our communities, it has become apparent that the intention, integrity and standards have been lost. Our dedication to breeding and quality is met with selective processes, advanced planning, extensive screening and collaboration with breeders who have spent their lives improving dog breeds.
  • What makes your program special?

    As a trainer and behavior specialist, Kristen takes the time to provide you with the guidance, knowledge, and tools needed to prepare for and raise the Pup of Your Dreams. She is with you from the beginning and throughout the life of you pup to offer expertise and training advice.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    Kristen is great to work with. She was responsive to all our questions and helped greatly in the delivery of our puppy, now named Hannah. Based on Hannah's disposition and learning ability, you can tell Kristen's dogs all come from good bloodlines.
