Pepper had a wonderful breeding career. She was very consistent and never had any issues having her five litters. Pepper's first litter in August 2022 was sired by a handsome young black lab name Cutter from Maryland. That litter produced 4 females and 4 males. After that we found a young Irish lad name Baker from Geneva NY. We used Baker for her second, third, fourth and fifth litters. Those litters produced 4 females & 4 males in August 2023, 2 females & 7 males in March 2024, 4 females & 3 males in March 2025, and 3 females and 5 males for her final litter in September 2025. There have been some very good hunting partners come out of the Pepper x Baker litters.
Kristina Newton will be raising a female from her final litter and we look forward to watching this little gal grow up and expect big things from her.
Pepper will have lots of time to play ball with her human sister River as she will now be permanently owned by her foster family Andy Merrit and Tara Schlosser and reside in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania.

Dixie was our beautiful, light yellow labrador retriever in our breeding program. We tried breeding Dixie on three occasions without success. It pained us to make the decision to retire her from our program spring, 2025. We want her to live out her days being a happy and healthy retriever with her foster dad, Daniel Dunn, in New Ringgold, Pennsylvania. She and her dad will continue to cheer for the Ohio State Buckeyes!

Jazzy was just not meant to be a momma. Her heat cycles were few and we induced her cycle to become pregnant. She had a c-section after many hours of labor without contractions. All said and done, she wasn't a great mom and during week three of nursing her pups she got pretty sick and was not able to continue to nurse her pups. Her pups were big and fat and adapted to "mush" very well. She and Bo had a tri-colored litter of 7 beautiful pups! Jazz will live out her doggie days with us as our hunting companion and family member. She is a joy and such a snuggle girl to us! Quiet in the house and ready to please and work in the field!

Whiskey has had 5 beautiful litters throughout her breeding career. She did a tremendous job and was always healthy during her pregnancies and labors. She was an excellent mom to all of her babies. Whiskey is a yellow carrier and had one yellow puppy in her first litter with Krush. Newt sired 3 litters and Woody sired her final litter in 2024. Cheers to Whiskey as she will have more time for dock diving, hikes and being a big sissy to Hazel Mae.
Whiskey is now permanently owned by her foster family Lindsay Schroeder and Ben Haggerty and resides in Northampton, Pennsylvania.

Peanut got her name as she weighed 6 ounces at birth. We worked hard to keep her alive, but she was a fighter and was sassy from the start. She was originally spoken for, but the client didn't feel she would be able to hold geese in the field because of her size, so they declined to take her. We decided we didn't want her to leave and kept her here at D&S. We lost her momma Chloe due to complications after whelping, which makes her even more special to us. Peanut is still very small in stature, weighing around 50 pounds, which led us to make the decision to spay her and she has become a full-time house dog for us.
She can be found on her perch on the sofa watching out the front window for the daily walkers. Then she chases them up and down the fence row! She's sneaky and funny all wrapped up in one little package! We love her to the moon!
