FC AFC Glenhoma's El Chupacabra X Birddog's Sweet Remembrance
Mojo has one of the most unique pedigrees for a chocolate!
Mojo is the result of literally years of research and planning! He has
one of the most unique pedigrees of any chocolate out there
today!!! You simply will not find another like him! His
bloodlines are loaded with some of the best field trial dogs
in history, yet you will not find any of the common chocolate dogs that are consistently found in working bred Labradors. We have researched well past 10 generations and did not
find a single chocolate dog on either side of his pedigree, yet can
trace the hidden chocolate factor back through Field Trial Hall of Fame
Retrievers: NAFC FC AFC Dude's Double or Nothin' and 1961 & 1963 NFC
CNFC AFC Del-Tone Colvin.

Hunter absolutely adores the puppies and has become one of our top young puppy socializers. In the field he is a totally different dog. He has a huge desire to work and just doesn't stop! He is
extremely smart and catches on to new things very quickly.

When those guidelines are strictly followed there is no chance of producing affected puppies. We are responsible breeders and will take all necessary precautions to never produce an affected puppy. This is a Lifetime Guarantee!

We love the Labrador breed and only support the ethical breeding for the traditional colors accepted by the Labrador Retriever Club. This includes blacks, yellows ranging from light cream to fox red and chocolates ranging from light to dark. No other colors or variations are acceptable.
