Forty puppies. One return.
Fifteen years of Lab placements. These are the dogs that came from this program — out hunting, out swimming, riding in trucks, sleeping on couches.
What past buyers say.
We're collecting stories from families who've raised our puppies. Real testimonials will appear here as they come in.
TODO: reach out to past buyers via Facebook or Jim's phone records. Aim for 6–8 testimonials with a name, location, year, and the puppy's color/sex.
Look for stories that show real working/family use — hunting buddy, family with kids, service prospects, water dogs.
If a buyer can send a current photo of the grown dog, even better — those go in the Past Puppies gallery below.
Aim for variety: pet homes, hunting partners, dogs that went to other states, multi-puppy families.
The dogs all grown up.

The goal is 8–12 past puppies featured, spanning the last decade.
Why we keep that number visible.
In fifteen years of Lab placements, one puppy has come back to us — and we took her back the day we got the call. That's the promise behind every placement: if you ever can't keep one of our dogs, she comes home. Not to a shelter, not to a stranger. Home.
That's why the 40-to-1 number matters. It's not a marketing number. It's the program working as intended.
