Labrador Retriever Puppies as family companions which are athletic and eager to perform
on land as well as water. A Down Wind dog will show excellent hunting ability and
trainability which will lead to success in the field and the home.
Our Vizsla's and Labradors Retrievers will be bred from females raised by Down Wind
Kennels which display positive dispositions and temperaments, ability to hunt and
perform in the field. The males will be selected for their excellence in hunting, field training
and their even dispositions. Both parents will have met OFA certification for hips and
elbows. Down Wind Kennels will breed dogs which produce litters which demonstrate
abilities for hunting, field training and companionship. Puppies from Down Wind Kennels
should meet these standards.
