MATTAND

Gina and Sally

We are a small show kennel based in Derbyshire.
We had our first Labrador back in 1988, Sam who was purely bought as a pet, but through him I caught the "showing bug".
I went back to the same breeder Alison Brandley (BRANDHAMS) and this time asked for a dog to show and I got Oscar ( Brandhams Show Stopper) a beautiful dog with the gentlest of temprements which he passed on to his progeny.
Temperement as well as type is paramount to us.
Not only did he do well in the showring but regularly went picking up through the shooting season.
From the first litter he sired I bought a bitch, thus started my breeding line.
I have been showing Labradors now for nearly 19 years and then last year Sally the Weimaraner came into my life and I was instantly smitten.
All our breeding stock are hip scored and have current clear eye certs.
