I use all the mandatory and recommended health tests, plus additional DNA tests.

After much consideration, in 2019 we brought in our first chocolate dog in 11 years after seeing an irresistible litter lovingly bred by Serengoch Labradors, a blend of Welsh and US lines.

Mum is from the famous Oakhouse Kennel, whilst dad is a US Grand CH now living in the Netherlands. Check out Chips's (Serengoch's Lincoln Gyda Arghishalee (A.I.) ) page for more info. Chip is a superstar to live with, and enjoying a superb show career with many 1st placings and Crufts qualifications at Championship shows until we hit lockdown. He qualified for Crufts at his first champ show under Pam Blay (Stabalheim) in 2022 - kindly handled by Vicki Crawford (Vicford Labradors). He went a step further in 2023 handled by Ellie Moore (Gower Dog Walker and Trainer) gaining his Stud Book Number qualifying him for Crufts for life. DJ and Chip grew inseparable (Chip trained him to be a dog) - spookily when we got his stud book number was 2011DJ.

We have a health-tested male (Bruce) producing superb black & yellow* babies (* yellow dependent on bitch colours) with his SBN. They live inside as part of the family, taking life in their stride, just as happy chilling on the sofa, or running around the beach or show-ring.

Bruce was also my part-time assistance dog; the most biddable boy with 2nd generation 0/0 hips & elbows; he is producing superb progeny to show and working bred girls alike; he's recently produced a 3rd generation of 0/0 hips and elbows to Triplecroft Golden Eye, congratulations to her breeders and owner. He's passed his grace at working with me to his daughter Missie. Bruce has recently been fertility tested (Dec 24) and is more than firing on all cylinders and is available for matings, frozen or chilled semen available. Evidence of status can be seen and provided to anyone who uses him.

==========================

Our first Lab Hally, went to the Bridge in December 2013 leaving a massive hole in our lives; her spirit and character lives on through her children and grandchildren - sadly most of her babies have now gone to the bridge, with some surving until 15/16 years olds.

Bruce, and Dylan (2010-2018) are now at least grand-dads - it's nice to see these lines continued.

===========================
Our hobby is showing, which we do regularly at all levels from Companion to Championship shows; we exhibited at Crufts in 2009/10, 2012/13/14/15/16, - despite qualifying the dogs, we weren't there in 2017 & 18 for personal reasons, we have continued to qualify our dogs with Bruce and Chip qualified for Life, and Milo qualified for 2025.

I am very lucky my dogs continue to be shown thanks to my partner and some inspirational outstanding friends.

I am on the Labrador Breed Council Breed Specialist judging B list and have judged Irish Setters and Weimaraners at Open shows.
