Advice
In 2010, we purchased two yellow labs, Max & Paddy, from a local breeder. The brothers were from Drakeshead Lineage and they were fantastic, loyal friends and the finest examples of gundogs we have known.
After a life changing illness in 2014, we knew it was time to follow our dreams and expand our family. We found sisters Mali & Bu (yes, Malibu is our favourite drink!) one year later and knew instantly we would love to breed from them in the future. Mali's Hip & Elbow Scores were near perfect and we chose to take her forward and unbeknown to us, she became our matriarch.
From Mali's first litter in 2017, we kept sisters Baby Blue & Silver. From Baby Blue's first litter, we kept another two bitches - Raven & Piper. Piper is yet to have a litter but Raven has recently had her first litter in 2022 where we kept one bitch, Luna.
Mali had her third litter towards the end of the pandemic, where we chose to expand even further by keeping 7 of her bitches - Red, Willow, Darcy, Bonnie, Sky, Betty & Lexi.
Baby Blue's most recent litter in 2022 led to us keep our first potential Stud, Max.
