About US..
Family & Field Labradors is a dream come true for our family, we thought
we would try our hand at breeding a litter in 1992, after owning labs for
over 20 years, always with the thought maybe this would be the hobby we
were looking for, well some 12 years later it’s more, much more; we have
labs in 8 provinces, two territories, and 5 states. We have met great
people from all parts of North America and consider them much more than
clients. We pride ourselves in staying in touch with our “pups”
and their owners, and we look forward to the stories and adventures. We
are family owned and operated, one that is growing, however we will never
lose our close attachment to our litters, that will never change, and is a
priority for us, we will never have more litters at one time than we can
handle, meaning personal care for the pups. We are proud of our 99%
survival rate of our pups from birth, which reflects the care they
receive.
Our
kennel operation is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club, and carries
the registered name of “Wardensown” Kennels, which is the
home of “Family & Field Labrador Retrievers”. Our name
reflects the dual capabilities of the breed to be strong, keen, high
energy field dogs, at the same time be dedicated, loving, friendly family
“members” that soon become a major part of our lives, thus our motto
“ LABS FOR ALL REASONS”.
Labrador Retrievers continue to be the
#1 Registered Dog Breed in
North America, year after year.
Our Labs …….
We
breed American Field Bloodlines, all three colors, from the
best bloodlines in North America. Kevin spent endless amounts of
time researching bloodlines and then looking for suitable adults in these
bloodlines as the foundation for our breeding program. His selections
were successful, producing excellent dual purpose, high-quality lab
pups, and we are more than willing to provide a list of references
for our litters. Our pedigrees are second to none in North America, all
with NFC, NAFC, FC, AFC, MH, SH, JH credentials, more importantly though,
90% of the dogs in our pedigrees are carrying hip & eye certifications,
meaning you are purchasing pups that come from bloodlines with sound
health.
Health is our # 1 priority, all our adults are carrying certification
from the Orthopedic Foundation of America or the Ontario Veterinarian
