This past week, Kyle, Molly, Aidan, and I attended the Avidog Conference in Lebanon, Indiana with our dear friend, Alastair McKinney from Lomond Hills Labradoodles. We met Alastair and his family a few years ago when we took our entire family on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Ireland and Scotland for Christmas so that we could tour Kyle’s ancestral home in Kilmarry Knapp, Scotland.
We immediately hit it off with the McKinney family and have shared many breeding tips in the past few years and also shared our breeding dogs to improve each other’s programs. We were honored when Alastair came for a fortnight visit and to attend the Avidog Conference to learn new breeding, puppy raising, and puppy temperament assessment ideas. We look forward to implementing a number of their unique and creative techniques to improve our puppies and mamas’ experience. We truly go to the ends of the Earth to be the best breeders that we can be.
