Labradors

Why we chose a Labrador Retriever

When we decided that we were going to purchases a dog we wanted to have a dog that we could all enjoy. We wanted a breed that would live in the house, but to also suit our outdoor life style and be able to do a hard days work and possibly show when time allows. But most important of all our dog must be happy to be a pet & enjoy cuddles & fuss, they must also have an excellent reliable temperament & enjoy the company of young children. For these reasons we chose a Labrador.

The first Labrador to join our family was Hercwood Aisla of Wilarklodge, (Kess); we purchased her in December 2001.  She has had one litter of puppies, we kept three back and the others went for pets, show and working.

Our dogs spend most of their day with us round our horses and our children. They also enjoy rolling around and playing with our toddlers.  Both children spend hours playing with the Labradors, taking them for a walks, fussing them and generally enjoying being together and investigating new things. 

Both children take their responsibilities very seriously, regularly feeding the Labradors, giving them one biscuit at a time! They have made us the most fantastic pet that we could ever have wished for .

We breed a very limited number of litters, and we do it because we really enjoy our dogs and puppies.  It is our aim to breed a quality, well-bred, happy healthy well socialised puppy, we hope that puppy will be happy to be your pet/companion and will have the bloodlines and quality that will hopefully work & show well. As we only breed a very few litters we are able to invest as much time as we can into the puppies, they are regularly out with us, coming for walks round our fields, they are used to other dogs, horses, our cats and Chickens
All our adults and puppies are used to children of a very young age stroking and playing amongst them.

As we only breed very few litters we find that the puppies go to their new homes very quickly. To avoid disappointment please keep a regular watch on our website you could put you name on our waiting list.
