Bear Creek Labradors is owned
and operated by Dr. Kelly Hepworth, his wife, Sarah and their daughter
Emily. The kennel is located on the East edge of Craig in picturesque
Northwest Colorado.
Raising, training and hunting
Labradors is a major part of our lives and has always been a lifelong
endeavor. In addition to our labs, Kelly owns and operates a Veterinary
practice, located next to the kennel. Each fall Kelly hunts waterfowl
and upland birds in several states. During the spring and summer, Emily
trains labs for youth contests in obedience and showmanship.
Our labs are derived from
the finest pedigree lines available. They are carefully selected for
temperament, conformation and intelligence. We keep our breeding stock
free from hereditary problems. Each lab at Bear Creek has certified
hips, elbows and eyes. Our puppies are sold with a 26 month hip and
eye guarantee.
Our puppies are highly socialized
so that they will be ready for placement with their new owners. All
puppies have their dewclaws removed, are wormed and received their first
shot. Our puppies have grown up to become wonderful family companions,
bird and hunt test competitors, gun dogs, obedience winners and K9 narcotic
dogs. You can purchase your Bear Creek puppy with confidence.
