Whispering Pines Family Kennel

Whispering Pines Family Kennel is a Labrador retriever breeder in Milaca, MN, part of central Minnesota near Minneapolis. The kennel maintains detailed lineage records and follows recognized health screening protocols for Labrador retrievers, including hip and elbow evaluations and regular veterinary care.

Puppies live in a family environment where they receive daily socialization, basic training, and gradual exposure to children, other pets, and household sounds. Owner Dan Moscho applies a patient approach to raising each litter on the kennel’s rural property, enhancing the dogs’ natural retrieving instincts through play and structured water introductions in the nearby lakes.

Families receive comprehensive health reports and temperament notes with each puppy’s paperwork, ensuring a smooth transition into a new home. Throughout growth stages, puppies participate in gentle handling routines and exposure exercises designed to foster reliable recall and calm dispositions. With extensive handling experience, Dan Moscho guides each puppy’s early activities toward balanced family life and working roles.
