Larkvalley Labradors

Larkvalley Labradors evolved in 1986 when I purchased a chocolate dog and black bitch (litter mates) from the famous "Bradking" kennels which were both successfully shown and became the foundation for our kennel. We are not prolific breeders, and don't own many dogs, as we prefer to have them as our house pets rather than just kennelled dogs - hence we only have a litter every two or three years to continue our lines - consequently our priority is on quality not quantity. Our most notable dog was Larkvalley Understudy who was a chocolate labrador that gained his Junior Warrant title in 18 days under the old system. He also gained 1 c.c and 1 Res.c.c. Sadly he has passed away but his memory lives on through our dogs and offspring in America, Canada and Scandinavia. Larkvalley Perchance was exported to America and gained her Can.Show Champion title. I have judged labradors and other gundog breeds since 1991. All our stock are hip scored/eye tested and optigen tested. I have owned all three colours but do
have a "soft spot" for chocolates.
