Introduction

A few words about us...
Summerlin Labradors is a very small hobby kennel in
Northern Illinois established in 2000.  We breed on
average one or two litters per year and every breeding is
planned months or years in advance with the intention of
keeping something for us.  Our focus is on a healthy,
sound Labrador with a wonderful, correct temperament
that can perform whatever task is asked of him.  Our dogs
are the English/show-style Labrador, and type (conformation
to the AKC standard set for Labrador Retrievers) is also very
important in our breeding program.

Our Labradors are house dogs, co-existing as parts of
our family on a daily basis.  They are gentle, loving and
patient with our children, happily tolerating the "busy"
antics of two young little girls.  

I have had Labradors nearly all my life and my love for this
incredible breed has grown significantly with every
Labrador that has entered my life.  My first Labrador,
Katie, will forever be remembered in my heart as the dog
who started this love affair.
