In Southwell, this small Labrador Retriever breeder keeps its dogs as part of home life and raises every puppy indoors. Only one or two litters are planned each year, so each arrival can receive attention in a household setting. This limited scale reflects an approach centred on the day-to-day care of both adult dogs and young puppies. Each mating is carefully considered, with litters prepared in advance rather than produced frequently. All dogs selected for breeding are fully health tested and described as having excellent temperaments. The breeder predominantly has black puppies, as well as fox-red puppies in the yellow colour range of the Labrador Retriever. The breeding programme therefore combines home rearing, a modest annual number of litters and attention to health and temperament. Located in Southwell, it focuses exclusively on Labrador Retrievers. The breeder is certified by Newark and Sherwood District Council.
