Our History
Our Beginnings
After over 3 decades of seeing tremendous success in breeding, raising and training Treeing Walker World Champion Coon Hounds, we stepped into raising English Labradors. In 2016, we purchased from Santy Labradors from Pedro Olvera in SC. They graciously allowed us to enter the English Labrador World with Santy Smoky Mtn Livy, Santy Smoky Mtn Chloe, and their brother Finley who eventually ended up in a pet home.
Livvy Wins at Potomac
What a day that was when Santy Smoky Mtn Livvy won her class at Potomac!
The Dog that Changed Our Lives
Meet Santy Smoky Mtn Moose! We got him in early 2018, and little did we know that he would be a dog that would change our family forever.
The Ride Begins
We would have never believed this dog would take the Labrador world by storm like he did. At just over a year old, we decided on a whim to take Moose to his first show, and he placed Reserve Winner Dog under one of the most prestigious judges in our country, Mrs. Cindy Skiba. Moose wins at the Greater Atlanta Labrador Specialty.
But this was just the beginning!
