Each litter at Alderwood has it's own characteristics and nature. We try to make the best match in our adult dogs to bring out the best of each in the pups. Click here and and you can see past pictures of Gretchen's litters.
Doc Classic
Gretchen 
Amber (click here for her profile) - is the matriarch at Alderwood and we had planned to retire Amber, but she is excellent condition, so we decided to have one more litter, we want to advise everyone that the pups this mating produces are exceptional. The temperament of both dogs is "laid back", Amber is a beautiful chocolate Lab, her coat is dark sable in color with waves on her back, she tends to be more protective and advises us promptly when someone comes in the driveway, we think she has passed her great "mothering ability", to her daughter, Gretchen, who had her first litter on Jan 17, 2008. It appears that we will perpetuate Amber's legacy in Gretchen. Amber remains a very loving Lab. Loyal and protective, she is one of those Labs that you talk about when people talk Labs.

Doc (click here for his profile) - is a natural retriever and hunter, our Alpha male at Alderwood, he has an exceptional coat and now weighs close to 100 lbs,  very smart, aggressive hunter heavy boned and strong, as always these should be some great pups.
