Both Gina and Bryan grew up in suburban Cincinnati in a neighborhood settings.  We were raised in families who owned and loved dogs.  During our married life, we have loved and enjoyed our famiy pets, seeking to provide them with a wonderful life in every way.  Although we took the challenge during the Summer of 2016 to officially become Labrador retiever breeders, we began this process 21 years earlier with 2 litters of puppies being born to our pets while we lived in Alabama and 2 litters being born once we retunred back to the Cincinati area in 2005.   

  Labradors are such an intelligent, loyal, friendly, adorable, biddable, great-tempered breed.  That is why they are the most popular breed of dog in the world! Our family, consisting of our 8 children, and 6 grandchildren, have been tremendously blessed to have owed labs for the past 25+ years, however, we realize labs may not be the best breed for everyone.  Labradors are known for not only their attractive appearance, but also for their intelligence, family friendliness, and companionship.  Labradors are a fairly largeaand an active breed which need a reasonable amount of space inside and outside the house.  They love to get dirty, swim, play in the mud, run through the undergrowth, etc., and they may drool.  If you are "house proud" this breed may not be for you.  The financial needs of owning a dog include the vet care, regular  worming and de-fleaing, food, and so on.  Like all breeds, labs can be a challenge as they are extremely boisterous and clumsy the first two or three years of their lives.  They are great family dogs but a lively young puppy and a lively, young child may not be a good combination.  Labradors need proper training and sufficient exercise and play time to be the ultimate pet.

   In April 2020 the Converse’s were able to secure their dream as they purchased and then moved into their current home that is a reconditioned, late 1800’s farm house that sits on 11 acres. As a result of this dream becoming a reality of our “new” farm and with the popularity of CPL with a great demand for our quality puppies, CPL expanded our business in an effort to provide more people with our top quality dogs. CPL added 2 new male pups, Boomer and Butch as well females Josie, Shelby and Shay to our original dogs of Darla, Dixie and Ginger.  CPL added the “Dog Room“ houses our dogs at night and allows them open access to an acre of fenced, pasture area to run and play.

  In August of 2020 CPL added a 3/4 acre pond. This is a dream that we have had for a long time for our family as well as a recreational heaven for the CPL dogs! 

  In July 2021 CPL introdiced Red Barn Kennel a facility to board dogs. CPL's  RBK completed Phase 1 of our plan and can currently house 6-10 dogs at a time so that we can give them the attention that we would want our dogs to get. They are not just placed in a cage with “exercise” breaks of a few minutes a day and then back into a cage like many of the larger kennels. We have professional 4x6x8 kennels that are in a climate controlled environment (Our Red Barn!) that they will stay in as well as have open access to a secured - fenced acre of play space that they can come by and go as they please.(For additional information please visit CPL's RBK.)

In August of 2020 CPL a  3/4 acre pond was built as we look at add a "Started" dog program as well as basic water training.  This is a dream that we hcae had for a long time for our family as well as a recreational heaven for the CPL dogs!

   Even with our move to the farm with all of the "perks" of more space and additional dogs CPL will never leave our roots, the foundation that made CPL such a blessing to our CPL families of having the best “family” dogs available. Although the number of our dogs have gone up these dogs are our pets…they are our family members. They will never be out at the back of the property in cages, alone and unattended but rather in our home watching TV with us, hanging out with us as we enjoy our family, daily activities, Sunday lunches  or enjoying the blessing of our farm together.

   If you believe that a Labrador is the breed for you, we would be honored to be your breeder of choice.  It is very important to us to be able to provide others with the healthiest, most loving and loyal puppies with the best temperaments and character possible.
