Welcome to Lightbringer Labradors!

We got our first Labrador Lucy over 9 years ago and she is responsible for our interest and love of this wonderful breed. We discovered that the name Lucy meant 'Lightbringer' in Latin and it seemed a perfect name for our affix. In 2001, we bought in our foundation bitch Hazel and everything we now have goes back to her. We are a small kennel and our dogs are first and foremost much loved family pets - any showing or working achievements are a bonus! We own all 3 colours - Black, Yellow and Chocolate.

We are Kennel Club Accredited Breeders and strictly adhere to their guidelines for good breeding practice. We only breed a litter when we want to keep a dog for ourselves for the show ring and to continue our line. Our aim is to breed healthy, good tempered Labradors that could do well in the show ring and can also work in the field but most importantly that make great family pets and lifelong companions.

All our Labradors have had basic Gundog training and two of them are working towards their Show Gundog Working Certificates. They have all passed the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme awards - Bronze, Silver and Gold and two of our Labradors have been Pets as Therapy dogs.

We breed for soundness, temperament and type. We only breed from dogs that have excellent conformation and temperament is a priority. Any stud dogs we use are chosen very carefully to compliment our bitches. 

The Kennel Club require hips and eyes to be tested before breeding from a Labrador but we also score the elbows, Optigen test to avoid the inheritance of PRA (Progressive Retinol Atrophy) and we also test for CNM (Centronuclear Myopathy). All our dogs are microchipped.

Our Labradors all live in the house and they can usually be found curled up on our sofa (as the photo on the right shows!) They are deeply loved and are thoroughly spoilt! Our dogs are exercised daily and we are lucky to have several freshwater lakes nearby where our Labs can swim and numerous open fields for them to run in. 

We feed our Labradors (and can thoroughly recommend) - Royal Canin, Pro plan, Arden Grange and Fish 4 Dogs.
