Our home, this fall
2007
Welcome
to Nycoma Way Labradors. I am a small hobby kennel nestled on 14.5
acres in a small bedroom community, just a short drive from
Burlington-- a down-to-earth and dog-friendly city. I love and have been loved by
my Labradors for the past 15 years, although
I have a history in dogs and dog showing that extends over 25 years.
(see
Our History page)I chose Labradors for their devotion,
versatility, trainability, "no fuss, no muss" approach to life and personal
grooming, natural hunting ability, and calm disposition.
I breed very infrequently--perhaps one carefully planned litter a year; breeding
for myself first, with the goal of improving my lines. I
strive to produce Labradors that most importantly exemplify the true
Labrador temperament: that of true and undying devotion, gentle
and calm companionship, a willingness to please, and desire to hunt and
retrieve without the use of a heavy hand. Soundness and health are
paramount, as well as proper type.
I am committed to raising sound Labradors that are multi-purpose.
My dogs
compete in the breed/conformation ring, obedience ring, and at hunt tests.
I also
share our wonderful dogs with those who are ill or frail through the
therapy
dog program. My dogs have
earned multiple titles over the years, and I am very proud of their accomplishments.
  
Roman, Zachary and Aly.
Aly is the matriarch now as Roman and Zachary are waiting at the Rainbow
Bridge.
All of the dogs live with me in my home, sharing the kitchen, living room,
bedroom, and yes, bathroom. With Labradors, there is no privacy! I enjoy snow-shoeing
during the long Vermont winter months and hiking throughout the vast acreage surrounding
my home.
Puppies are raised in my home until they leave at 9 weeks.
Those puppies that stay with me join the rest of the brood, learning house
manners and "dog talk". I work from home as a health and long-term care
consultant,
offering me an enormous amount of time to spend with my dogs: I am truly blessed
by that opportunity. All of my puppies are sold on
"limited registration"
and spay/neuter
contracts. Only under special circumstances will I place a puppy
on a co-ownership and full registration.
Why Nycoma Way?
Cape Cod is a very special place
to me. Some people wonder where my kennel name comes from.
It comes
from Cape Cod.
  
My grandfather
and great-grandfather built the first cottage on
a sand road they named "Nycoma Way". Now several
cottages long, our
extended family has vacationed there for over 40 years. My
Nanny still lives there in the cottage on the ocean.
