Meet the breeder

Sherry’s experience

  • About Sherry

    I grew up on a dairy farm in Vermont. When I became old enough, I branched out into raising Foundation Morgan horses and showed them in local shows and rein at NRHA shows throughout NE and NY. I grew up with Labs, and when my yellow girl "Sc Backporch Oatmeal" came into my life, I decided that if I could produce a few excellent Labs like her, my life would be complete. I showed one of her daughters, Island Uno, to many AKC Agility titles.

  • What makes Sherry’s program special

    We prioritize first our dogs, and second, the people who welcome them into their homes. We do not have to advertise when we have a litter as referrals from our past clients and families send new clients our way!

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Our pups are born in our house where they stay until they are 4 weeks old. Then they go out to the puppy stall in our horse barn where they are introduced to all our livestock, loud noises, and a dog house. They are taught to ride in a wagon as we pull them outside to play. Outside they learn to socialize with our older dogs and are taught to come when called. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Basic Manners, Human Interactions, Weekly Nail Trimming, Grooming and Nail Care, Scent Introduction, Basic manners, Sit Command, Crate Training, and "No" Biting or Chewing.

Puppy health practices

Our pups are dewormed, vaccinated, health checked by a vet, and receive complete health records when they leave.

Extras

We send our puppies home with Vaccinations and AKC Registration.

More about Sherry

  • Why Sherry started breeding

    After being owned by one of the best yellow Labs in the world, I made it my goal to breed some Labradors just like her! All our dogs go back to Sc Backporch Oatmeal (Oats). I can't believe we've been doing this on a small scale now for 20+ years!
