RoyaLab Retrievers II belongs to Dave & Marty Schilling. We have been raising quality, wonderfully tempered labrador retrievers since 1993. Our labs are primarily bred for low-key temperament, intelligence and beauty. We are very focused on the good health of our bitches and studs and conscientiously screen for genetic problems relating to hip and elbow displaysia (OFA), eye diseases (CERF) and sound hearts. We believe in following closely with the AKC Labrador Retriever Breed Standard and are charter members of the Lake Erie Labrador Retriever Club. Our puppies are generally sold as family pets, but many have the qualifications to be show, obedience and therapy dogs. They are raised entirely in our home surrounded by ourselves, our four children and our other dogs. Marty has been a dog obedience trainer at Canine University (www.ohk9u.com) for the past 13 years. The philosophy at Canine U. is one of positive reinforcement which is started from the very beginning with Royalab puppies in the way that we raise our puppies. Whistle training and housebreaking are well on their way to being established by the time you take your puppy home. Further obedience training by the new owner is strongly encouraged.
