We take immense pride in raising our dogs and puppies as part of our family. Unlike traditional kennels or large-scale breeding operations, we maintain an intimate, home-based approach with no more than three adult females living with us in Arlington, Virginia. The rest of our breeding females are lovingly cared for by Mark Jr., the Yates sisters, and close family friends.

Affectionately referred to as "Labrador-land," our home is a hub of activity and joy. Operating under a business license and home occupancy permit for zoning, we adhere to Arlington County regulations, allowing a maximum of three adult dogs overnight, while puppies under four months are exempt from the count.

Our yard features 8,500 square feet of artificial turf, ensuring cleanliness and a safe environment for play. Inside, our pups are born in a sanitized whelping box in the living room. As they grow and their eyes and ears open (around 10–14 days old), the dam and her puppies transition to one of our two dedicated nurseries adjacent to our home. Here, they are closely monitored, socialized, and cared for until they are ready for their forever homes.

Our home setup is designed to give each puppy the best possible start. The weaning process, potty training, and socialization are carefully managed in a nurturing environment. All our dogs sleep indoors—either on dog beds in our bedrooms or in crates, depending on their age.

What sets us apart is our open-door policy: we invite families to visit our home, meet our dogs, and see firsthand the care and love we put into raising them. Every puppy is handled daily by adults and children, exposed to a variety of sounds, and introduced to nature and water play when weather permits.

We feed our dogs and puppies Purina Pro Plan, ensuring they receive high-quality nutrition throughout all life stages. We are always available to answer questions and provide transparency about our breeding program because this is not just a business—it’s our home, and our dogs are family.
