Rosie & Saffy with their haul of trophies in 2014/15
I am a breeder of Labrador Retrievers in Gloucestershire.
Our dogs live in the home with us and puppies are bred very occasionally, usually only when I want to try and breed something
to go forward with for myself for the show-ring or for working. We also live in a residential area in a large village, so we prefer to keep dog numbers low so I am therefore very proud to have bred Labradors who have gained their stud book numbers or hold a Show Gundog Working Certificate. What gives me a real thrill however is to see Labradors that I have bred working in a partnership for Dogs For Good (Dogs For The Disabled.)
All my girls are health tested using the BVA health testing schemes - hips, elbows and annual eye tests.
They are also DNA tested for some inherited diseases.
I use stud dogs who compliment those tests.

My first Labrador was bought from a friend. She was a wonderful, biddable and sensible Labrador who grew up with my children and who was responsible for introducing me to this lovely breed. I thought at the time that she was my dog of a lifetime, but have been lucky to have another one of those since!
