About Us

Our household currently consists of myself, my longtime companion, Gene, and our 2 daughters, Abby and Cassie. Our oldest daughter, Kendra, lives on her own with her new family. 

In the early 1990's, Gene acquired the dog he had always wanted - a chocolate Labrador Retriever. Cinnamon came to live with us and as a pup and was all our oldest daughter could ask for as a playmate. She slept in bed with her, sometimes even pushing her out of bed. As we came to know the breed, we discovered the “Field” lines vs. the “English” lines and found Cinnamon to be a mixture of both. As time went by we also learned the health issues that plague this wonderful breed. Cinnamon was bred a couple of times, producing some good hunting dogs, and some great pets.

While our dogs spend time in the kennel when during the daytime, at night you can always find them sitting on the couch watching TV with us, playing with the kids, and hogging the beds. Our dogs are all socialized with children and with other dogs while they are still pups. We take them to ball games when the kids are playing and on car trips occasionally. Several litters have made it to school for show-n-tell, and many have gone to the local nursing home to visit patients.

We have our own pond on the property and, weather permitting, they are taken swimming on a regular basis. Our property consists of the house, kennel and 5.3 acres of yard. The kennel (built in 2005) is a full barn with fenced-in runs and a play area. The dogs love it!
