I'm the breeder behind Enchante Labradors located in Coral Springs, FL. We want every Labrador that is owned by or bred by us to be a quality animal that we are proud of. To that end, we believe in health testing; feeding quality food and training. Every Labrador should have a job, whether it is "couch potato", a child's best friend, a veteran's service dog or a show dog. The puppies are raised in our home, with my children.

Why Stephanie started breeding
I have had Labradors since I was a teenager in Louisville, Kentucky. When our Labrador named Satin passed away, my husband and I decided to adopt a retired show Labrador named Belle. Belle's show dog side was a complete change but I was smitten with this girl and bitten by the show dog bug. We had two small children by that time, so I shelved the bug for several years. When Belle passed away, I started researching various kennel lines and found two that I was very interested in, located in another small hobby kennel in central Florida. They helped me get into breeding.
