The reason a dog has so many
friends is that he wags his tail
instead of his tongue.
To err is human- to forgive, canine
Tanja Mast is the supervisor of Solid Oak Kennels, a trainer of the Labs,
and the mastermind behind it's creation.  Tanja is originally from
Germany, and has been here in the U.S. now for 7 years.  Tanja's
fascination with the Lab began in 2001 when she got her first Lab,
Raven.  Since then she has grown to love and admire the great breed.  
Her unparalleled professionalism and attitude toward perfection is
evident the second you watch her train and care for the breed. Tanja is
also a full time mother of two great kids.
