About Belhaven Labradors
Belhaven dogs have excelled as Assistance dogs, therapy dogs, police dogs, comfort dogs, competitive obedience dogs, gentleman hunters, scent dogs, and my personal favorite loved companions for many children and their families.
Belhaven Labs are NOT bred to be hunters specifically, but they should have the instinct to be a good hunter.
About Darlynn
What started as a hobby (back in 1986 / training my own dogs), quickly turned into my career, over 34 years ago in southern Maine, working with clients in their homes…Soon, the local veterinary clinic (WVC) Wells Veterinary Clinic, approached me asking to conduct group training classes in conjunction with them . With the assistance of WVC, group classes began in Wells ME located in a small building, on the beach of all places!
OFA Certification
My breeding dogs are certified through the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation Association) to include:
Hip, patella, shoulder, elbow, heart, even the hocks are evaluated through the OFA.
It is very important to me, and it should be very important to you.
