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.

Tessa's girl at 7 weeks.


These posts are becoming few and far between as the puppies get bigger and leave bigger poops in more places.

The big news is this week is that the puppies are old enough to go to their homes! YAY!!!! LOL Actually, it's always sad for me, and a bit anxiety provoking hoping that each puppy is happy and has a good family. Typical mother!

Yesterday I trekked Tessa's puppies to MD to meet Tessa's co-owner so she could see the puppies. First off, it wasn't supposed to snow! HAHAHA! The joke was on me! Though, the snow wasn't steady, it squalled half the time, decreasing visibility to about 3 feet. LOL It was hairy at times. But, we got to Rocky Gap State Park and took out the boys first, then the girls to look at. It took about an hour and a half to decide who we liked, and we only set up the 3 girls! The temperature was dropping to near absolute zero (or so it felt like it) and the wind picked up...a perfect combination for winter fun. We froze to death! We had to go to the ladies' room to get warm. That's how desperate we were. LOLOL

Then I got home and let the puppies out, and led them back into the basement. We then met 3 lovely families who went home with puppies. :-) This week ALL of the puppies and I travel to PA to go the rest of the families.

See you soon...
