Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Q: How did you get into breeding?

A: Gabriella began working at a veterinary clinic and met Joan (Thimble Labradors). She was immediately interested in learning the proper way to breed and raise Labradors. Primrose is from her very long line of dogs, Thimble Labradors and Terrabella Labradors still work very closely.  

Q: Do you sell puppies with full registration? 

A: We do not sell any puppies with full registration (“breeding rights”). This is to ensure the quality of our line. Puppies are required to be spayed by 12 months or neutered by 24 months. 

Q: What is the benefit of puppy culture, early neurological stimulation and early scent introduction?

A: These methods help our puppies to be amazing companions and well balanced adults. They will aid in puppies ability to navigate every day life and be easier to train by their future owners.

Q: Why do you recommend positive reinforcement or balanced training?

A: Labradors are an intelligent breed but can be sensitive. Using positive reinforcement or balanced training you have the ability to form a strong life long bond with your dog based on trust. We recommend working with a trainer during your Labrador’s life but especially the puppy stage.
