The Labrador Life

My life is really devoted to only a few areas of pleasure...my husband, my children and grandchildren, and my Labrador Retrievers, not always in that order. I try to live my life to the fullest, and strive to be honest, trustworthy, and empathetic...the kind of person my dogs think I am. Thanks for visiting us.

Mariwyl Labradors sits on 5 partially wooded, fully fenced acres. Our mission is first and foremost is to breed for ourselves, improving the breed on type, temperament, and soundness. As conscientious breeders our aim is to breed excellent quality labradors that can live as family members and companions, as well as to preserve their sweet temperament, beautiful type, soundness, and working ability. We are committed to the improvement of the Labrador Retriever, and carefully choose our breeding stock based on the above qualities. All of our breeding stock and stud dogs chosen from other kennels are cleared and certified free of inherited health problems prevalent in Labrador Retrievers. We breed no more than 1 or 2 litters a year, allowing us to give each puppy the attention it needs for a healthy and happy social start in life. Therefore, our puppies are lovingly raised in the home among us as family members, receiving constant socialization with people, our dogs and cats, and general household hubbub. All puppies are sold as pets on an AKC limited registration.

It is NOT a weekday, I repeat WREN, it is NOT a weekday! I was woken up at 5:30 a.m. Wren, now in season, is staying in the kitchen to keep my wood floors clean from the discharge. Well, she's figured out, like her mother, how to get around the gate and was up on our bed with my shoe waiting to go out. *sigh* Another hour and I would have had enough sleep. But, at that time in the morning, once someone is up and about, EVERYONE wants to be up and about! So, everyone is up and about in their respective yards waiting for breakfast. I hosed the mud off of them yesterday in the kennels, so it will be a delight to see how muddy they have gotten again. At least it didn't rain last night. I hope I can stay awake until the "Sopranos" tonight. *yawn*

A friend in AZ sent me this picture she took of Dickens at the Potomac labrador specialty held in April every year. Here he is showing his stuff in the 12-18 month black dog class. I just love this boy!
