Conducting a
small and conscientious breeding program,
Copperstone is dedicated to continually
 enhancing & improving Canadian Labrador Bloodlines
through consistent and careful selection
of top breed specimens.

 We believe that close attention to
social development and the medical history
 of breeding stock including hip, elbow and
eye clearances as well as regular analysis of
ancestral genetics contributes largely to
sound bodies and temperament.

A Copperstone Lab is
~An ideal family companion~

From dogs with the skill and instinct
 for hunting/field/water retrieval work,
the discipline and intelligence for
obedience, the temperament of a loyal friend
 and the structure & looks for the conformation ring.

Watch for details!
 

We are a small hands-on kennel that home raises its family
of labs WITHIN our family environment. We have no kennel dogs,
we believe in the necessary socializtion that comes from
daily life interaction in the home. In order to preserve this mandate
we have even once placed in an approved family home
 a dog who will return to us for 2 or 3 breedings
briefly following full health clearances we obtain,
but still benefit from the one-on-one interaction with an adoring family.
In this regard, our numbers remain nicely manageable, our dogs
receive individualized top quality care and attention,
and we are still able to periodically single out
 candidates for our breeding program
while having a few lucky families receive the benefit of
their company year round. We feel this is the responsible
thing to do to ensure that all dogs bearing the name
Copperstone ~  whether permanent residents in our breeding program,
retired, growing up to take on the world here
or residing with their new families=are assured a life of constant
human companionship and love.
