Our “Partner Breeder Program” is one of our favorite features at our kennel! The following is an excerpt from a story about us printed in the Siskiyou Daily News:
“We’ve been adopting out female Labs to local families for over fifteen years,” says Pete Morrill, owner of Marble Mountain Kennels, “but our new business model allows us to share this opportunity with a greater number of people in Northern California and Southern Oregon. We adopt breeding female puppies or older dogs to families as our partners and those partners bring their mama dogs to us for breeding. Once a dog is pregnant, our breeding partners can choose to either have pups born in their homes or in our state-of-the-art birthing kennel. We love this new model, which means more of our mama dogs live in homes with local families and fewer or our dogs live in kennels on our property. This means we can focus more quality attention on the dogs that live with us.”
“Every year, we adopt out bundles of pups to lovestruck families,” says Morrill, “and we enjoy sharing the fun, fascination and profit of dog breeding with our fellow dog-lovers. Our partners get a great canine companion and our dogs get to live more fulfilled lives with families. Happy dogs, healthy puppies, adoring homes. What could be better than that?”
Features and benefits of our partner breeder program include
• Our Labs get to live in loving homes, rather than in a kennel.
• Partners and co-owners can own a high-quality, AKC-registered Labrador retriever.
• Partners and co-owners can benefit financially, sharing in the proceeds from litters, while we professionally handle all the breeding, puppy care, marketing and coaching.
• Fewer dogs living on one property means our facility is more environmentally friendly, clean and quiet.
• Fewer dogs on our property also gives us more time, space and resources to continue improving our state-of-the-art birthing facility.
• Puppies get more devoted socialization, playtime and training from caring families and staff.
• We establish long-term friendships with our co-owners, partners and adopting families.
• Partners, co-owners and adopting clients have the benefit of our knowledge and expertise in caring for and raising their dogs and pups.
• People love our dog-friendly breeding approach that uniquely debunks the profit-first puppy mill mentality.
We have been breeding Labrador retrievers for over twenty years, focusing on six specific desirable traits in their dogs: superior intelligence, outstanding hunting desire, superb looks, terrific personalities, natural pointing instinct, and proven pedigrees. With this new non-kennel approach, the Morrills are revolutionizing dog breeding in a very positive way.

If you go to our “Litters” page, you’ll find that the first-pick female in various litters is often available for adoption as a partner breeder.
If you see a puppy or older mama dog available as a partner breeder, please complete our “Puppy Preference Form” to let us know which puppy or dog you’re interested in. We’ll get back to you to determine whether you qualify for the program and try to answer any questions you have.
Craig and Jen Thompson of Rockside Ranch in Etna, California, have been long-time partners with Marble Mountain Kennels. Not only have the Thompsons adopted our Labs into their home, but we have gifted several partner breeder mama dogs to Rockside Ranch, where the dogs provide young men in crisis the opportunity to learn to care for dogs, while reaping the joy of loving and being loved unconditionally by their canine companions. (By the way, Rockside Ranch is one of the charities we wholeheartedly support.)
We’re super excited to talk with you about this wonderful opportunity to own one of our female Lab puppies in our Partner Breeder Program. We have partners as far south as Fresno, California and as far north as Grants Pass, Oregon so, even if you live far from us, we can work with you. We drive down to the Sacramento area (Woodland or Davis) once or twice a month, where we pick up and drop off partner breeder dogs, trained dogs/puppies, and puppies ready for adoption. You can even get to know other partner breeders in your area and coordinate ride sharing as well as pick-ups and drop-offs. Complete our “puppy preference form” to let us know of your interest in our partner breeder program and ask for a “partner breeder packet.”
We look forward to hearing from you!
