selling price of  one of your puppies
which ever is higher.

The stud fee can be paid when you
have enough deposits for your pups if

Breeding Requirements:
The above picture was taken on 5/6/08 at 28 months of age.  Duke is a very well
developed top show quality English Labrador, Duke's last wt was 84 lbs.  Duke has
sired seven litters producing beautiful pups.  Duke is B/y in his color genes that he
carries. Duke is optigen clear and his prelims are good and his cerf was normal.  
Duke has on a extended 8 generation pedigree 140  Champions. Several of the
Champions are famous international champs and a world champion. Duke has a
nice calm disposition and loves as labs do to be with people. Duke enjoys
swimming, and playing with my female labs in the yard. If you meet Duke he will bring
you a ball after he gets pats or a belly rub. He will not go to strangers until I tell him it
is okay and he has proven to be a good alarm that someone has come to the house.
Duke loves to play with little pups that climb all over him as he lays down for them.
The below pictures are ones taken when Duke was younger and not as developed
yet. In 2008 Dukes sister  Solace got 2nd in the worlds biggest lab speciality in her
class and a first in another show after that. Dukes mother Sailor got a first place in a
RI dog show.  Dukes off spring have been beautiful, solid and with calm nice
temperaments.  Dukes pups are in demand and have always sold well.
