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.

Whew!! These 17 weeks flew by! I can't believe I bred 2 litters, both having some twists to them, and whelping and raising 14 puppies!!! Egad, what was I thinking?? LOL All in all, it was a bit easier than I thought, but it still was backbreaking work. 14 puppies sure make a big mess! And it's relatively constant. LOL But, I can think of no better reward than smelling their puppy breath, and watching them grow and become confident individuals. It continues to be an awe-inspiring experience.

Last weekend I drove out to my daughter's in eastern PA with the 10 puppies that were left. 6 of them had homes waiting for them. By the time I arrived, I couldn't smell if they had soiled their crates. I figured it was because I had gotten so used to the smell! LOL Actually, they were very good, and didn't go in their crates! They were very good at my daughter's and my granddaughters, 4 years and 13 months, really enjoyed them.

I am now running on 4 little black females, one of which is still waiting for the right home to adopt her. They are so funny now! They're very good about going in their little litter box, which makes my life soooooooooooooooooooooo much easier! They also know which way the door is that leads to the yard. LOL And such grown up puppies they are! Each retrieves, runs up and down my back stoop doing steps, and knows my voice.

Such pretty girls, too! I am anxious to see how they grow out. No one has a name yet, though. I haven't come up with anything I particularly like. They may be "Puppy Puppy" for the rest of their lives. LOL

Pictures to follow later...

In the historical, http://www.cheaptap.co.uk/ are just necessary items which a kitchen cannot do without but people usually do not put much detect into its design and style. Back then, they are more concerned with whether the faucet is easy to use or not. These days, homemakers want to add in more type, flair and superiority into their kitchens. As such, even the taps are chosen with more care and consideration. With this change in choice, you see the appearance of designer LED Bathroom Sink Taps
