We are a family of dog lovers.
Justin and Tori have owned labs together for their whole marriage, so Dillon and Kiera have grown up always having them for pets. For Dillon's 17th birthday, he asked for a lab puppy to be his hunting companion. He picked Tala out from a breeder in Mallard, Iowa and when she was old enough to come home we drove 6 hours to get her. She is so sweet and was a great addition to the family! Although she misses Dillon when he is away at college, she has a very close connection with the rest of the family as well. When it got closer to Kiera's 16th birthday, she started saying she wanted a puppy as well. She thought it was only fair that she got a birthday puppy also. We told her absolutely no more dogs, but surprised her on her birthday with pictures of Bentley, which Dillon had picked out from a breeder in Le Mars, Iowa. When he was old enough to come home we drove the 4.5 hours to get him and his brother for a co-worker of Justin. He was another great addition to the family with his sweet and goofy personality. Once both of the dogs were old enough, we couldn't pass up having puppies by these two beautiful labs. We have all learned a lot about breeding, whelping and caring for the puppies!
