About Lady

Lady is an AKC registered Labrador Retriever. We purchased her from a breeder in Troy, Missouri, in 2003 and she was one of a litter of 16. She has lived with her owner, Tom Beardslee, since she was eight weeks old. She is a trailing specialist, but can also locate general human scent. She was trained here in Scott County, with the assistance and advice from the good folks at Extreme K9, in Carbondale, IL.
