Our Silver strike (Stanley) is now almost five months old. He is our third black Labrador and according to our vet is an absolute cracker! Fantastic nature and not a bad bone in his body. The guy who has him for training once a week wishes they were all like him. He is very quick to learn and really wants to please. I would recommend Rona and Larsdream Labradors without any reservations.

From the very first phone call to Rona through choosing a puppy, Bringing her home and now watching her grow, it has been a delight. Rona's attention to detail and updates while they were tiny was wonderful and Betty is a beautiful young lady, showing what good quality breeding can produce. I can thoroughly recommend and wouldn't hesitate in getting another puppy from Rona.

Our Black Labrador 'Silver Bolt' Neo is almost 5 months and is a stunner. He is very intelligent and the training is going very well. Neo is friendly with everyone and very loving. From the first moment I spoke to Rona at Larsdream Labradors I knew we would purchase our Drakeshead pup from her. A passionate and excellent breeder Rona gives 100 percent care and love to the Mum and her litter. The regular updates and videos as our puppy grew were wonderful. Rona also continued to offer support and advice in the early days of settling our pup. I highly recommend Larsdream Labradors.

We have the most wonderful Labrador puppy 'Silver Arrow' Jasper from Rona at Larsdream Labradors. The experience from the beginning to the pickup day was fantastic. She kept us up to date with videos of the puppies progress including very funny photos. The puppies are a part pf her family life hence why they are very people friendly loving pups. Rona is also very professional in her approach to hand over with all of the correct information to take your puppy home. 5* Larsdream Labradors.

Thank you for our beautiful little girl Poppy. Following recommendation and out initial contact your knowledge and love of dogs was clearly evident. You welcomed us into your home and introduced us to a wonderful mum Mali and her pups. It was lovely to be included in a WhatsApp group with other expectant families where you shared the pups' development until they were able to join us. It is clear that the family environment and your early care has helped the pups to grow into well rounded, sociable individuals with outstanding temperaments. I can understand why you have provided pups for service dog training. The pups have recently celebrated their 1st birthdays and it is so nice to keep in touch with yourself and the other families, where your continued advice and support has been invaluable to a first time dog owner. Poppy is a much loved member of our family and we couldn't imagine life without her.

We found Rona through a listing on the Drakeshead website but sadly when we contacted her the last of her puppies in that litter had been reserved. She mentioned that she would have a litter in a few months, and, impressed with her enthusiasm and desire to produce the best puppies possible we phoned her the next day and asked to reserve a boy from the next litter. Then the wait began!
Several months later, Mali came into season and Rona updated us regularly and sent photos and videos as soon as the pups were born, and frequently after that. We had to choose our boy during lockdown on Facetime. Rona does everything possible to give the pups the best start in life and we couldn't have been more delighted when we met her in person to collect our boy Dexter in July 2020. Rona set up a WhatsApp group for all of us 'Expectant parents'. We're all still in touch regular, swapping photos of our dogs. We cant recommend Rona highly enough.

Rona was wonderful from start to finish and beyond. Despite lockdown, she made sure we got to see photos and videos of our Wilberforce all the time, and see him with his mother and the rest of the litter regularly. She is responsible, well organised and her love for dogs shines through. She's kept in contact and is always available to give advice. I highly recommend her dogs. Our Wilber is an absolute joy.

We have previously had two Drakeshead labs which were adult, trained dogs . We were new to the experience of taking responsibility for raising a puppy. When I heard that there was a special 'dog lady' who had just produced a litter of Drakeshead puppies, I knew this had to be the chance we took. My husband and I work in primary education and wanted to find a puppy who would become a school support dog as well as a beloved family pet. A telephone conversation with Rona confirmed she was all about dogs and when we visited the litter with our two children we immediately realised that she was indeed special and so were her puppies. Our dog Rory chose us but we could have had any one of the litter and received a fantastic Labrador. He has gone on to work full time as a life-changing school support dog who is carried in so many people's hearts and has brought comfort, reassurance and joy to many families.
