As a family, we always had dogs - My father regularly trained gundogs and as a teen, I would often accompany him rough shooting when we lived in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
Although my husband Martin, myself & our 2 children, enjoyed sharing our home with a Beagle for over 14 years, our real interest in Labradors began some 38 years ago when we acquired our first chocolate puppy from the highly regarded Ravencrest Kennel belonging to the late Mrs Cathy Wilkins (nee Crocker)
This lovely chunky puppy was very special right from the start and being the only girl in a litter of boys, she was the source of great excitement and delight within our family!
Born during the month of May, hence May Blossom - our children named her 'Jessie'.
Later on, she became our foundation, bitch - Ravencrest May Blossom of Meadowleigh.
Bred from Follytower / Lawnwoods lines, it was 'Jess' who stimulated our interest firstly in showing and subsequently in the working side of the breed, proving to be successful at all levels as well as becoming a Good Citizens Dog.

It has always been our desire to see the Labrador continue it's progress as potentially a working and showing Retriever, thus retaining it's natural ability alongside, what is absolutely essential in our breed - namely a wonderful temperament.
