Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Jacquye Schimmel located in Kannapolis, NC. I am breeding health tested, working, titled, field line Labradors. All of my dogs are versatile, easy to live with, and train well. Good on and off switches. I do everything I can to make sure I am doing my part to better the breed. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.

Jacquye’s experience

  • About Jacquye

    I am a former veterinary technician turned dog trainer. I have my CCFT (certified canine fitness trainer) from UT. I have always had a dog in my life and think every family that can, should have the same experience.

  • What makes Jacquye’s program special

    When looking at males to pair her with, I look at their desire to work and their home life. Can they tell the difference between work time and chill time? Once the puppies are born, I follow Puppy Culture and a puppy fitness program. My puppies leave me environmentally, and socially stable. They are desensitized to sounds and surfaces and are socialized with other dogs before leaving.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

I have friends and family visit the puppies starting at 3 weeks of age. I try to introduce the puppies to young children around 5 or 6 weeks old. They start listening to desensitization sounds at 2 weeks old when their ears are opening up. As they get older the volume will increase. These sounds are anything from gunfire and fireworks to children crying and traffic sounds. I vacuum around the puppies so there is no fear of the vacuum. The puppies walk on carpet and slippery surfaces before leaving so they are not afraid of the floors and new surfaces. We also get lots of treats at the vet to help them learn not to be afraid of the vet's office. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Potty Training, "No" Biting or Chewing, Crate Training, Clicker Training, Biosensor Training, Sit Command, Puppy Culture , Human Interactions , Car Training , Litter Box Trained, ENS, Socialized with Children, Socialized with Other Animals, Sound Stimulation, Household Desensitization, Grooming Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Touch Desensitization, Toys, e.g. Ball, Chew, e.g. Bone, Structures, e.g. Climbing, Strangers, Noises , Fireworks , Various Surfaces , Outdoors, e.g. rain, Exposure to Agility Tunnel and Wobble Board, and Puppy Culture .

Puppy health practices

All puppies are dewormed before leaving me. They get their vaccines (dhpp) and microchips at 8 weeks old from a veterinarian. They also go to their new homes with health certificates from my veterinarian.

Extras

We send our puppies home with AKC Registration, Certificate of Health, Food Starter Bag, Microchip, Puppy Collar, and Vaccinations.

More about Jacquye

  • Why Jacquye started breeding

    I bought my first well-bred labrador from a place recommended by a breeder friend. This lab absolutely blew my mind. We compete in dog sports and she gives her all 100% of the time. I found a mentor and Puppy Culture. After getting her genetic test results back I felt like she was worth breeding.
