Based on the Mornington Peninsula my aim is to produce puppies that are true to type, especially in temperament and retrieving ability but above all as wonderful family pets. I will only breed from stock with low hip and elbow scores, and that are DNA tested for all known heritable diseases in labradors, including exercise induced collapse (EIC) and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA).

We are now expecting an all yellow litter in early February 2023 and taking expressions of interest. Sire is Grand Champion Kelindebar English Oak (Darby) and dam is Papoulab Astrea (Pippa). You will be asked to complete an application form and should be prepared to take a call to discuss your application.
