Stormley

After a number of years with horses I decided to purchase a Labrador, this was some 43 years ago and with the help of Mr. Oldfield of the Hindlehurst affix, I mated my first bitch to Glenharvey Balbriggan and so Stormley Labradors came into being, Storm because the dog I kept from the first litter was born in a snowstorm, and Ley the last three letters of the town where I lived.

I breed Yellow, Black and Chocolate Labradors, but concentrated recently on the Chocolates and Stormley Labradors are well known for the lovely dark Chocolates. This is due to having black in the mating, this is important to keep the dark eyes and coat.

I have many dogs abroad some are Champions, and have produced Champions. As an International Championship Judge, I have been fortunate to have judged in many Countries and at World Shows.

04/05/05 Although I have awarded Challenge Certificates both in this country and overseas, I am now officially on the A1 Judges List for Labradors and the B List for Golden Retrievers.
