BREEDER INFORMATION

I have dedicated the past 30 years to the documentation of medical pedigree research in the Labrador Retriever.  My research studies the inheritance factors involved in many of the congenital diseases affecting the Labrador of today:  i.e. crippling hip and elbow dysplasia; cardiac arrhythmias; blinding Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) and many other congenital eye diseases; severe temperament and behavioral problems; and seizures resulting in epilepsy.  This knowledge is the backbone of my breeding program...

LITTER INFORMATION

Waiting lists are common at Canterbury. We are not a big operation, as we only produce one to two litters a year. We do not export puppies, sell to pet stores or brokers. All puppies are home raised and are very well socialized to people and children. Because of the many and sometimes frightening sights and sounds encountered in the home, this home-rearing helps to ensure proper socialization and actually sets the foundation for their confidence and behavior as an adult. Puppies will receive their first vaccinations; have their dew claws removed, be de-wormed; and have been heart and health checked by my veterinarian. Puppies remain in my care until eight weeks of age, before traveling to their new homes.
