Our Story
My wife Karen and I started this breeding journey in 1996 when we bought our first pointing labrador retriever. We had our first litter in 1999 and since that time, we have been striving to develop the highest quality puppies. In the beginning, we used research, knowledge and dedication to pick the top sire and dams to produce a great puppy line that showed natural pointing instincts. Despite the amount of work entailed, we loved to see the look on people's faces when they picked up their new puppy family members and that has never changed!
​
Jump ahead a few years and we added SCIENTIFIC GENETIC TESTING to our knowledge base. In a nutshell, this simply means we can now be quite confident about the health and quality of the sires and dams we breed. We use OFA, Paw Print Genetics and Embark. Eyes are tested as well. However, genetic testing is only part of the equation. We pride ourselves on the ability to spot good companion qualities, exceptional hunting potential and excellent temperament in adult dogs. To do this we look at house habits, active dogs with well-behaved personalities, intelligence and the ability to pick up things quickly. RDK Labradors not only wants to produce quality hunting and field trial pointing labs but also a truly kind and loving companion that will thrive in a family home environment.
