Ebony 1992-2005
There had always been a dog at home in my childhood and when I stopped full time work and started a family I bought my first Labrador, Ebony, who joined Sam, our collie-cross, in the home. Ebony turned out to be lovely biddable and sensible girl who grew up with my children and who was responsible for introducing me to this lovely breed. Sadly Ebony was not registered with the KC so I didn't breed from her but I enjoyed her immensely and along with Sam we used to walk for many miles, tramping up and down the Cotswold hills with my daughter in the backpack.

Our dogs are primarily our pets, living with us in the home and coming on holidays with us, I just like to try and do extra things with them. My first litter was bred in 2007 from a bitch that I bought from Mrs Lynne Minchella (Abbeystead Wren) and I am proud to have bred from Wren Labradors who have gained their stud book numbers, won Challenge Certificates in the show ring, hold Show Gundog Working Certificates and Working Gundog Certificates on Game and Working Test awards.
What gives me a real thrill however, is to see Labradors that I have bred (and also their progeny) working in a partnership for

I am on the committee of the Cotswold & Wyevern Labrador Retriever Club
(and was previously their Working test Secretary from 2010 to 2015.)
I have also qualified to be included on the A3 list of breed specialist judges and am looking forward to my first Championship show appointment in 2020.
I am also a member of the Labrador Retriever Club, several other regional Labrador Clubs and local Retriever and Gundog clubs.
