Welcome to Trinity
Labs
All planned Breedings are on
hold effective July 14th, 2008
For all that read this that are
of faith; I ask that you pray for my mother - Deloris Unger, who has been
diagnosed with cancer of the trachea; it is not removable. My mother is
facing a tremendous battle and needs all the prayers possible. Also, pray
for our family that we will be strong for her and a light to help guide her to
salvation.
God Bless and Thanks for your
prayers and support through this trying time.
Welcome to Trinity Labs. This is a picture of our first three
breeding females pregnant for the next generation of Trinity Labs taken years
ago. Our Kennel is located in Southeastern Ohio, nestled among the
foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. This kennel is the legacy left behind by
my very first Labrador Retriever "Miranda Lynn". Miranda was purchased for me by
my husband for my birthday in 1990. I had asked for an Irish Setter and he was
unable to find one so he took a chance and brought me home "Mandy". Mandy
instantly stole my heart and thus began my love for the breed. Unfortunately,
Mandy was later diagnosed with hip and elbow dysplasia and never was able to
breed. She was nearly crippled by age 9 and developed Cataracts which nearly
blinded her.
Mandy passed away June 22, 2003 and is greatly missed.
Because of this experience I work extra hard to ensure that I breed the most
healthy, genetic defect free dogs that I can. We breed only with dogs with OFA
Excellent and Good ratings and CERF eye clearances. I breed for drive,
intelligence, hunting ability, trainability, and conformation. My dream is to
breed the next Dual Champion. Health and Disposition are the two main
qualities that I look for, my girls have to go through a stringent screening
process where they must not only pass the normal hip, elbows and eye
certification process but also their Patella, Thyroid & Cardiac are
certified normal by the OFA. In addition to this, their DNA is on profile
with the AKC and UKC and they are DNA tested as non-carriers of CNM (Central
Nuclear Myopathy - formerly Labrador muscle Myopathy). All pups are raised
in my home among various other dogs, cats, children and even a ferret to round
out the mix. All pups are microchipped, dewclaws removed, 1st series of
shots, started on Interceptor and Frontline Plus, introduced to ducks and/or
pheasants as well as water (In bad weather I use my garden tub). I have
bred Search & Rescue dogs, service dogs, drug and bomb detection dogs, bench
champions, therapy dogs, wonderful companion dogs, as well as successful working
Labradors. I endeavor to breed the best from the best breed out
there. All sires have a proven performance record as well as proven stud
potential. I research every dog in at least 5 generations trying to find
the best genetic matches to my females. Every name in every pedigree is a
link to a page that will come up with all of the information that I could find
on every dog. This page contains the usual registration numbers, OFA
information, coat colors carried, etc.. as well as accomplishments, titles,
siblings, offspring, DNA Profiles, parents and any known genetic problems such
as CNM carrier, etc. There are 63 dogs in each 5 generation
pedigree. My links page contains links to AKC, UKC, CNM, OFA, CERF, Hall
of Fame List, and much much more. All you should know about raising and
training a dog is on the "Training Tips" page and "Buying Pup Tips" has
information that you should know before buying a pup from us or someone else,
whether you are buying a Lab or another breed it is full of useful
information. Please, browse around, enjoy our site and make use of the
information that it contains.
