I'm the breeder behind Terracotta Treasures Labradors located in Mohnton, PA. Our goal in breeding is to produce the fox red shade of yellow lab puppies that will be a "treasure" to you and your family by having a calm temperament to be great companions in the home and community but also capable of excelling as sporting dogs (hunting, agility, tracking, etc.) if desired.
About Cindy
Hi, My name is Cindy Amour! I have had a passion for Labrador Retrievers since my family had Labs or Lab mixes when I was growing up. They are such great family dogs! My nieces Natalie Weitzel and Rachel Weitzel joined me in starting Terracotta Treasures Labradors, and we love to connect with people and find great homes for our puppies so they can enjoy having labs as part of their families too!
What makes Cindy’s program special
We make socialization a priority in our breeding program and provide experiences to prepare the pups for their new homes. We also encourage our puppies' families to keep in contact with us throughout their lifetime, are always available for any questions and have an annual reunion for all of the families for them to connect with us and with each other. They will always be part of our family!

Why Cindy started breeding
I have always loved and had Labs in my family, but when I first saw and fell in love with the fox red shade of yellow labs, I was having a hard time finding a breeder that offered the right temperament blend of calmness/activity level for me. I began researching pedigrees/temperaments and a few years later started my own breeding program with our first female lab Cayenne in 2015.
