OTCH Kerrybrook’s Huyana Stormee, UDX3, OM2, RE
What a gorgeous yellow lab. She looks like a breed Lab, but works likes a field Lab. She comes from the Ridgeview Kennel lines on her father’s side and the Kerrybrook’s line on her mother’s side. Both lines carry championship dogs and also great working dogs such as her sire, CH Ridgeview No Fear MH, and her grandsire on her mother’s side, CH Franklin’s Pickpocket for Kerrybrook MH.
Stormee is a great working dog. She loves to work and she loves to learn. She goes in the ring with such attitude and joy. She has achieved so many accomplishments before she turned three years in October.
Stormee received her CD and CDX titles before the age of two with a couple of “High in Trials.” She received her UDX title before the age of three and is well on her way to her second UDX title with nine wins. She won the Utility class at All Stars in 2008.
On January 29, 2010 Stormee achieved her "OTCH" title and her UDX3 title at the York County Obedience Trial. She was also HIT for the day. She is a truly wonderful dog and has such drive and loves to work.

All Willow Dale puppies will be sold under “limited” registration.
Limited Registration means that the dog is registered but no litters produced by that dog are eligible for registration. The dog can compete in every AKC event, including obedience, tracking, field trials, and hunt tests, and agility, except for breed competition, at an AKC licensed or member event.
Why do I as a breeder specify limited registration for a puppy?
In my case it is to protect the puppy and to try to prevent genetic problems in the Labrador retriever breed.
I sell my puppies on a limited registration to make them less appealing to puppy mills – a puppy whose offspring can’t be registered isn’t as valuable to them.
Limited registration also helps to prevent genetic problems by preventing the breeding of dogs that haven’t been checked for these problems. Well, it doesn’t actually prevent the breeding, just the registration of any offspring. Few owners will go to the expense of breeding their registered dog, if the offspring can’t be registered.
REPUTABLE BREEDERS...
A little about the passion of dog breeding...
As a general rule, reputable breeders DO NOT make money breeding dogs! This is not commonly understood by those looking to purchase a puppy as a companion for their family.
Reputable breeders are "in dogs" because they LOVE the breed. When you talk to them, the love and pride they have in each of their dogs should show. I sometimes talk to pet homes that are upset by the level of screening done by reputable breeders.
Please understand that to a reputable breeder, a puppy is not a commodity. A puppy is a living, breathing creature that deserves the very best life we can give him/her. When you buy from a reputable breeder, you are not getting a puppy that has had the minimum of care and socialization; you are getting a puppy that has had the maximum of care and socialization.
Breeding is very expensive, time consuming and heartbreaking to do correctly. Reputable breeders put their heart and soul into each litter. A reputable breeder screens each home carefully. They do this because each puppy is full of emotional investment.
Reputable breeders do not just throw two dogs together to create puppies. They usually plan each breeding in advance and spend months waiting for a female to come into season, another month worrying over whether or not she is pregnant and the next month worrying about the safety of the dam and the puppies. Then, there are two months of puppy raising which requires time off of work and sometimes around the clock care. Reputable breeders put a lot of time and energy into learning the best ways to raise a litter and the best ways to socialize puppies. Reputable breeders are breeding for themselves first and foremost, so each puppy is treated like a future show, agility, obedience prospect.
Having puppies is expensive!! Here is a list of typical costs paid in my area:
- CERF exam, Hips & Elbows OFA Certified for the dam: $330.00
- Misc. Health Clearances (Cardiac, EIC, CNM, etc.): $50.00 - $200
- Progesterone testing: $75.00 - $300 (often more than one is needed)
- Stud fee: Typically the price of a puppy
- Ultrasound and X-Ray to check size/position of puppies: $250.00
- Whelping Box and whelping supplies: $300.00
- Vaccinations/Worming supplies: about $20.00 per puppy
- AKC registration, advertising, club dues: Various costs
- Here are some possible emergency expenses:
- C-section: $700.00 to $2000.00
- Emergency vet visit for puppies with diarrhea: $100 - $300.00
