Our Dogs

Labrador Retriever

Mavis stands out for her classic English-style build, sweet temperament, and natural obedience. She is calm, people-oriented, and easy to live with while still having the structure and capability we want in our breeding females. The three things we appreciate most about Mavis are her temperament, conformation, and trainability. She brings a steady, dependable presence to our program and has produced puppies with the same kind of balance we value in a family companion.

Labrador Retriever

Basil is a charcoal female we kept back for our program because of her loyalty, obedience, and deeply people-focused nature. She forms a close bond with her family, wants to be near her people, and is the kind of dog that is always tuned in to what's going on around her. The three things we appreciate most about Basil are her loyalty, obedience, and connection with people. She brings the kind of closeness, attentiveness, and trainability we value in a family companion.

Miniature Poodle

Maui joined Sterling Prairie in 2020 when we began expanding into Labradoodles. We wanted a poodle stud that could complement the disposition, structure, and longevity we value in our Labradors, and Maui has been exactly that. He is intelligent, obedient, handsome, and extremely easy to work with. The three things we appreciate most about Maui are his intelligence, temperament, and trainability. He brings the balance we were looking for and has become an important part of our Labradoodle program.

Our primary Labrador stud, Poe was the pick of his litter (Colt × Shadow) and has always stood out for his drive, obedience, and trainability. He brings strong field capability without losing the temperament needed to be a great family dog. His puppies have gone on to become both exceptional companions and capable hunting dogs.

Driven · Obedient · Trainable

Labradoodle

Mila is an apricot F1 Labradoodle with a sweet, gentle nature. She is affectionate, obedient, and easy to train — a dog that naturally settles into family life and becomes part of everything. She represents exactly what we set out to produce in our Labradoodle program: a true example of the type of dog we hoped for in size, coat, and temperament — balanced, beautiful, and easy to live with. The three things we appreciate most about Mila are her gentleness, obedience, and loving temperament.

Labrador Retriever

Jovie is our keeper female from a Mavis × Poe breeding and quickly became a family favorite. She stood out early for her small, stocky build, durable frame, and happy-go-lucky personality. The three things we appreciate most about Jovie are her build, temperament, and confidence. She is easy to be around, naturally social, and represents the kind of balanced Labrador we want to continue building around.
