We expanded the puppies’ area this last week and and they are loving the extra space! They’ve also enjoyed some new toys, and their first naps in their crates. The goal of our program is to make time in the crate low anxiety so that it isn’t any harder for your puppy to transition into…
Well, I’m not quite sure how Time does its thing, just steadily marching on without obstacle or permission, but here it is! This sweet litter is just 3 weeks away from their forever families! So, what does 5 weeks old look like for little labrador puppies? Well, here are a few changes: we’ve added toys…
The 4th Happy 4th of July Kindred Pup families! I hope it was a fun day/evening/weekend for you all! Just think: next year you’ll be accompanied by your new four-legged-best-friend! Thankfully, there weren’t many fireworks to be heard at our house on the 4th, but the dogs and pups did well with the noise that…
One of the qualities that Labradors have is that they are relatively low maintenance. A treat, a hug, and an active lifestyle keep these dogs happy and healthy for years. While smaller breeds have gained in popularity over the years, and while grooming your pets has become more and more common place, I’m still pretty…
These little lab puppies are so sweet and chubby and soft! I can already see the start of their big blocky heads and feel their sweet fur. Have I told you that Molly is the softest labrador EVER?? She truly has the best, most cuddly, soft fur. And their squeaks?! Total Gush! (For some fun…

Early this past Sunday morning, June 16th, Molly delivered her first pup. And I mean early – just before 2 AM. All the puppies were born and happily nursing and resting with mama by 3 PM. Molly has already been an amazing mama to this litter of 6 which includes 4 males and 2 females….
You know, even though I am a breeder, I’m just not entirely sure that the details of a breeding are meant to be read and published in a blog. Suffice it to say, the owners of Stud dogs have their work cut out for them and they are worth every dollar. At least mine is….
We are THRILLED to announce this upcoming litter! I’m not sure I’ve seen two better looking yellow labradors. They are a wonderful mix between the English and American styles – blocky heads, not too short to the ground, happily active but not wild. They are pretty much my ideal dogs. I’ll be posting more info…
It’s hard to remember that a lot of the things that dogs (but especially puppies) do are super normal, even if they are super annoying. Chewing on your shoes? They’re teething. Not perfectly house-trained? Still learning. How long did it take your kiddo to potty train with no accidents? Restless and hyper? Dogs need exercise,…
