I'm the breeder behind Tenacular | Dognacular located in Paradise, CA. My focus is to maintain the Labrador breed standard by raising structurally sound & correct puppies with excellent temperaments. All of our dogs are health tested. We do not breed until we check for genetics, performance records, color, and mendelian charts. I am committed to matching my pups up with the best homes possible!
