Rosie & Saffy with their haul of trophies in 2014/15
Small scale breeder of Labrador Retrievers in Gloucestershire breeding very occasionally, usually only one litter a year on average.
My first litter was bred in 2007 from a bitch bought from Mrs Lynne Minchella (Abbeystead.)
We are proud to have bred Labradors who have gained their stud book numbers, won Challenge Certificates, hold Show Gundog Working Certificates and Working Gundog Certificates on Game.
What gives me a real thrill however is to see Labradors that I have bred and their progeny working in a partnership for Dogs For Good
See my page ASSISTANCE DOGS
All my girls are health tested using the BVA health testing schemes -
Hips, elbows and annual eye tests and they are also DNA tested for some inherited diseases.
I take note of the results of the tests and use stud dogs who compliment all the them.

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 from a friend. Ebony turned out to be a biddable and sensible Labrador who grew up with my children and who was responsible for introducing me to this lovely breed. Sadly she was not registered with the KC and so I didn't breed from her.
I thought at the time that she was my dog of a lifetime, but have been lucky to have another one of those since!
