Sitka’s Story

AKC Name: Smith-Zalewski’s Sitka
DOB: 3/29/18
AKC Number: SS 04412506

Sitka is a male, yellow lab born on March 29th, 2018 from the litter of Bailey and Bentley. He is a handsome boy, almost completely without markings like a “snowball white lab.” His conformation is muscular with a blocky head. Sitka hails from primarily field lines.

He is the typical lab who loves retrieving sticks and balls. He’s smart and enjoys running with the pack (humans and canines) outdoors, yet he settles in nicely indoors into a home environment.

Sitka also assists us in socializing our puppies. Before going to their new homes, our puppies are introduced to dogs other than their mother. They learn other dogs are safe, kind, and loving. This early introduction to other dogs at an early age is instrumental in their future canine interactions.
