Our vision for breedingMy initial interest in Labradors came from being a medical service dog handler. I set out to breed dogs that I would want to have as a service dog, life and competition partner. The mother of this litter, Pixie, is a service dog in training who will take over when her brother Bodhi retires. The Labrador I hope to produce is moderate, neither too heavy nor too light, with correct conformation, good health, and good working ability in many different venues. No expense or effort was spared in completing health screenings for this breeding pair. Both sire and dam have had all breed appropriate health screenings including hips, elbows, advanced cardiac exam, eyes and genetic panel. Before you buy a puppy from anyone, we encourage you to investigate whether they have done all of the proper health testing AND view the results for yourself in the OFA database. Below you can click the link to view Pixie's full results in the OFA database.
Pixie: https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?appnum=2450148 Memphis: http://www.duckriverlabradors.com/memphis.html I have spent countless hours reading pedigrees and running pedigree test breedings to compare the coefficient of inbreeding on different stud dogs when paired with Pixie. One of my big goals in breeding is to use all of the genetic diversity that is available in the Labrador breed. Due to over-use of popular sires, it can be enormously hard to avoid having a single dog pop up three or four times in five generations the stud dog I chose for the 2026 litter has the lowest coefficient of inbreeding in 7 generations of any dog we tested. Pixie is a full show-line lab from Spellcast Labradors. She is the half sister to my service dog Bodhi. Pixie has a can-do attitude and always gives me a 100%. I was lucky enough to meet several generations of of the female line behind Pixie when I visited Spellcast. They are lovely, kind, gentle dogs. Pixie has been loads of fun to share my life with. She has a great sense of humor and a great zest for life. She has gamely tried every sport I've aimed her at and her passions are tracking and scent work. She has an incredible nose! Pixie has also been in service dog training so that she is ready to take over when her brother is ready to retire. She has also filled in as a working service dog during one medical leave that Bodhi had for a procedure. That trip included her first hotel stay, first elevator, and there happened to be jets flying over which didn't phase her a bit. These puppies should be versatile, all purpose dogs and great family companions. |
