A “Stud Dog” is not just a beautiful dog, looks are only one small part of the characteristics required. A true Stud Dog must perpetuate the breed. It must possess outstanding breed qualities that will be passed down to the next generation.
Conformational Quality: This is first and foremost in the consideration for a potential stud dog. The dog most posses the absolute best characteristics as described by the written Breed Standard for Labrador Retrievers, including temperament as called for by the standard. The dog must be able to pass on the best qualities on a consistent and to a higher percentage to his progeny.
Soundness: Conformational Quality, the dog must be free of any genetic conditions that affect the breed. Radiology for Hips and Elbows to determine structural soundness, OptiGen Testing for eyes, plus Heart/Thyroid for suspected lines.

Rocky has had an amazing show career and quickly earned his Show Champion Title at such an early age of 19 months old. Rocky's great success started early on with him first finishing his AKC Championship title at just 19 months. Next, earning his Int. Championship title with all top evaluations by the judges. Soon thereafter Rocky finished his UKC Grand Championship title to wrap it up. Even with all of these great accomplishments, Rocky did not stop there he continued on to hold a spot in the UKC Top Ten 2 years in a row and also has won several Best Of Breeds, Sporting Group placements and multiple Best In Shows in several registries.
As you can see from his pictures, Rocky is a gorgeous, stunning and handsome all-purpose labrador. He has an awesome headpiece with nice reach of neck and a strong topline that compliments his well balanced conformation. Rocky is a strongly-built and athletic labrador. In fact, Rocky is so strongly-built that he is pure muscle from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. More importantly, Rocky has a very people loving personality, typical of the Labrador Breed. As far as a retriever, Rocky is true to the Labrador Retriever Breed. He possesses effortless movement and he has what Labs are noted for, a great desire to work and retrieve.
Rocky's puppies are on the ground!!! Rocky is delivering as usual passing on his awesome good looks, "type" and body composition to his pups. Rocky's puppies are gorgeous and have great all around personalities! Rocky is producing large litters of 8 to 10 puppies.

Tommy is already laying the foundation for an amazing show career. Tommy started out at the International All Breed dog shows to get his paws wet. Right out of the gate at 5 months old kaboom!!! Tommy wins 2 Best Of Breeds, 2 Group 1 placements, a Best In Show and a Best In Show Reserve in one weekend of shows.
WOW Tommy has started his AKC show career like a bolt of lightning striking over and over again. Going Winners Dog and winning his first AKC points at just 9 months old. Tommy continues winning points from the 9-12 month puppy class 3 weekends in a row. He has also won a 2 Best Puppy's and 2 Puppy Group 1st.
Judge's comment on Tommy: " I could not take my eyes off of him he is absolutely elegant and he has everything I like in a Labrador."
Tommy's first UKC shows and Tommy WINS Best In Show !!!!
No words needed for this outstanding boy!!!! Tommy is absolutely gorgeous with a headpiece to die for. Tommy has nice bone, type and a good dense coat. Tommy is clothed all over in a short dense top-coat and under his top-coat lies the undercoat that makes him virtually waterproof. Equally following off his top-line is his thick base "otter" tail that is the true hallmark of the Labrador Retriever. With his awesome laid back shoulders following into his strong topline and extending to his beautiful tailset he is the complete package. Tommy also has a beautiful front embraced with a very impressive forechest. Not to mention those kind Labrador eyes that no one can resist.
Tommy's pedigree embodies some of the most influencial top stud dogs in the breed with proven prodigy.We are very excited about Tommy's future and what he has to offer.
