Producing multi purpose Labradors with natural hunting ability and retrieving drive is what we strive for but just as importantly possessing that wonderful Labrador nature. Our endeavour is to breed Labradors that meet the breed standard, he should be handsome, intelligent and capable of a full days work in the field.
Mark has worked gundogs in the Field since 1973 and along with Labradors has trained Cocker Spaniels, German Shorthaired Pointers & Hungarian Viszlas
We bred our first litter of Labradors in 1987 and from this litter our first Retrieving Trial Champion.
