Welcome to our home, built in 2003, we are located in beautiful Northwest Ohio, in the heart of the historic Black Swamp Region.  We built our homestead around our love for our animals.  Our home is designed for our puppies to live with us, so we can provide a healthy environment, to build the foundation that will help them grow to their full potential.  Paying attention to how a puppy grows, from the day he is born, is important for the very health and vitality of each puppy.  And, we believe that the first eight weeks of a puppy's life, is of vital importance in determining his later behavior as an adult.  Our puppies are handled  constantly, and exposed to our everyday life, and everyday noises to create a positive social experience that will enable them to become lifelong companions.                                  

We have been breeding top-quality, all-purpose English Style Labrador Retrievers for over 20 years, under the 'Lakeview' prefix.  Our dogs have been titled in conformation, obedience, agility, and in the field.  We bred and owned the #4 Labrador Retriever in the United States in 2000, AM/CAN Champion Lakeview's Pistol Pete JH.  'Petey' attended the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Show at Madison Square Gardens in New York City two years in a row.  We also graduated many Service Dogs through Paws With A Cause, a service dog organization for the handicapped. 

In 2003, we found everything we loved about our Labradors, minus the things we didn't, in the Labradoodle Breed.  They have high intelligence, a sweet disposition, willingness to please, and make perfect family companions.  The coats are wonderful and are easy to care for, and they lack the excessive shedding, smell, dander, and oil of the Labrador Retriever.
