About Hunt-N-Dogs Estates
Our favorite pets and hunting companions are our
labrador retrievers. As hunting is very special to those of us that have
had the privilege to hunt with a good dog, we started by adding puppies to our
labrador family.
We started Hunt-N-Dogs Estates with three yellow
puppies in 1997 to pursue my love of raising and training top quality hunting
retrievers. Our labs also make great family companions, but if you are
going to have a great family companion, they may as well be good hunting dogs at
the same time. We started our kennel with the best yellow and chocolate
labrador pedigrees we could find. We strongly believe that the better the
pedigree, the better the chance that the pups we raise will demonstrate the
qualities expressed in the pedigree!! We breed hunting dogs that LOVE-TO-HUNT!!
Our dogs are easily trained, have great temperaments, guaranteed excellent
health (resident veterinary care 24 hours-a-day), and are a pleasure to live
with since our dogs not only hunt, they are real members of our family. In
1998 we added to our family by buying 5 puppies, and we added another young dog
in 1999. We have been growing with more labrador puppies each year. All of our dogs have been radiographed and certified free of hip
dysplasia and have had a CERF examination.
Our first three puppies came from Kate, our grand
matriarch and a daughter of FC-AFC Candlewoods M D Houston. Kate is a
wonderful family companion
and a superb waterfowl dog, especially good on geese. Kate was all heart
and we will never forget the wonderful 15 years she was with us. We will
truly remember all of the good times going to the girls softball games, she
would run along side our girls just like an athlete, and all the good duck and
goose hunts. Having her first and only litter of pups at
age 8 took a lot out of her too. We kept 3 of Kate's pups - Monster, Amber, and
Maddie and they replaced our daughters after they all left for
college. She is a dog every man would be proud to own, a great
family companion, wonderful around children, easy to train, listens well, and
always wants to please. She will live in our hearts, as well as everyone
that met her at our daughters softball games, forever.
All of our puppies are whelped in our house and
socialized extremely well. We spend a lot of time with the puppies,
handling and cuddling them even before they open their eyes. You really
can't understand how important the socialization process is until you own a dog
that wasn't!! Nita and Tricia are pictured holding Dottie and Monster's
black puppies after a Miami University softball game.

in Happy Homes.
We have owned labrador retrievers for almost 30 years
and we don't believe that a finer breed of dog exists. Hunt-N-Dogs-Estates
is
a
small kennel and our goal is to produce quality hunting pups the average person
can afford. The price you will pay for a good pup is not nearly as much as
you will invest in the dog throughout the life span of 10-15 years. Our
dogs come from great lineage and their potential is limited only by our own lack
of knowledge, training ability, and time.
Good
Hunting and Preserve Our Wildlife Resources!
