When, Where and How I Got My Labrador Retriever
I work my dogs on the shooting field. They go picking up game on shooting in North Yorkshire. Rollo is the newest edition - he came from Ireland. His mother was the top dog in Ireland in 2008. Some of my pups have just gone to America as they are breed for the working ability. We have 3 fox red sisters - Tina, May and Willow. They are very sought after as their colour and breeding is first class. Tina's pups, Hidi and Tara, are now a year old.
My website is http://www.cuckavalda-gundogs.co.uk. This explains all about us and our dogs.
I'd Describe My Dog As…
Hard working and willing whatever the weather. They are dogs I am proud of and often take them out with Cocker Spaniels to picking up grouse, partridges and pheasants in the English Countryside. They say dog is a man's best friend and they are mine.
Advice
- Always make sure that any Labrador you buy is from low hip scored parents and have been eye tested. PRA Opitgen tested/CNM tested clear.
