Tom and Annie have been married 30 years and are the blessed parents of five daughters, two sons, two son-in-laws, and one daughter-in-law. They raised Labradors from 1997 to 2004, when they found new homes for all their dogs so that they could take their family overseas. Even though their children were young during those years, the memories of the wonderful puppy experiences inspired them to begin breeding again in 2009 … with a bit of encouragement from the children! Annie still handles a lot of the day-in-day-out care of the dogs.
Hannah is the one who decided to start breeding dogs again in 2009 and took on much of the responsibility of building the business. She married James Manderino and together they have three children. Hannah continues to help with running the business, communications and managing the website. She, James and their children live about fifteen minutes from the family farm and occasionally raise litters with their two Labradors – Assata and Ranger.
