What’s in a name – Toni was in a blues and jazz mood when this litter was born so it became our theme. After a quick search of the top jazz songs, it couldn’t be more obvious to choose “Chasin’ the Bird”. This song (and album) was created by Charlie Parker who was a saxophonist known for his fast tempos, virtuosic technique, and improvisation. And that’s how …
What’s in a name – Toni was in a blues and jazz mood when this litter was born so it became our theme. Being a huge Led Zeppelin fan, we came upon a re-worked blues song “When the Levee Breaks” which was originally recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929.

What’s in a name – The litter theme for the Gingerbred Labrador’s Noodle/Chute litter was mythology so we decided we should name our boy after a Greek God.

His AKC name was a bit more challenging. The Greek god, Zeus, is also known as the God of the Sky and Thunder. We found that Celestial may refer to Sky. And that’s how Gingerbred Celestial Thunder – Zeus – was born.

What’s in a name – Prada came to us from Judy Chambers at Ghoststone Labradors. The litter theme was “fashion” as the sire and dam were CH Hyspire Ghoststone’s Dressed to Impress (“Armani”) and CH Ghoststone’s Hollywood Blonde (“Holly”). A couple years before she was born, The Devil Wears Prada came to the big screen. We thought …
What’s in a name – Our litter theme for the Molly/Zeus litter was “luck” because we were so lucky to get Molly from Brillhill Labradors. Over time the theme migrated to more of a Las Vegas theme. Chloe actually has …
What’s in a name – Our second litter of Zeus puppies (whelped by Misty) produced a wonderfully consistent litter in type and temperament. We spent hours evaluating these puppies for show and pet homes, having to look at every detail they were so alike. The very special yellow girl we kept …
