We have been very blessed in this sport and are grateful for what has been shared with us. Our first two puppies (Ch. Feather Downs Remberlyn Raven and Sheabourne’s Mystify), came to us from Rhiann Houchins of Feather Downs Labradors and Shannon & Earl Carlton of Sheabourne Labradors. Rhiann trusted us to take a beautiful black puppy, knowing we were learning still and we were thrilled when Raven became our first champion. Shannon & Earl sent Misty as an older puppy and she stole her hearts from the start. Out of her came Trinity’s Sweet Mercy and Big Sky’s Heaven Scent from Trinity and we are thrilled to continue her lines. Last, but certainly not least, came four girls from Kathy DeVito of Trinity Labradors — Ch. Trinity’s Sweet Glory, Trinity’s Precious Pearl, Trinity’s Everlasting Vine and Tabatha’s Mazie (bred by Carol Heidl). Glory was pointed when she came to us and it was a fun ride getting to go into the ring with this amazing girl and to finish her championship. Kathy has been very instrumental in our lives as well as our breeding program and in many ways was our mentor. Several of the dogs we have today go back to those special girls and we are honored to continue their lines. Trinity’s Moses and Trinity’s Living Water are co-owned with Kathy.

We only breed a litter when we plan on keeping a puppy to show. And we are glad to say that the other puppies in our litters go on to become wonderful family companions (as well as do therapy work, obedience and more!) Health and temperament are paramount in our breeding program and we spend countless hours carefully planning each and every litter. We are living proof that when you share your life with a Labrador the blessings you receive are abundant.

Meet the Greens

Starkey is a husband, a father and a business owner. He was raised on a dairy farm in East Texas where he learned all about the hard work involved with animal husbandry. Now that he is a father himself he is passing on the life lessons he learned as a child to his own children and the kids love it!

Stacey is a wife and a stay at home mom. She was raised on a ranch surrounded by wildlife and her father taught her to care for animals very early on in life and planted a seed within her that later bloomed into a passion for dogs - which ultimately lead to a life filled with them.

Our most treasured blessings? ….. our seven children.

We discovered early on in our marriage that we make a great team and the many ways that we strengthen one another. We are both competitive by nature and have found a wonderful sport that allows us to have beautiful dogs to share our lives with and to compete in the show ring with. We love the challenge that breeding brings because although we know there is no “perfect” dog, we can always strive for better.
