Prefix : CHARING (Labrador Retriever)
We (Anne and son Andrew, and previously husband David) have been involved with Labradors since the early 80's - shooting over them, showing and occasionally breeding. We are a small kennel who have imported several from England and Australia, one from Sweden and semen from England, Australia and Finland) all in the interests of breeding the best we can. We breed to the highest ethical standards and only from parents who have acceptable results from the health tests required by Dogs NZ. Health tests include hip and elbow xrays and scores, eye test results (annual specialist exam, DNA testing), and DNA testing for the Dilute gene and Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), and others. We breed primarily for us to have something for the show ring, although some do not make the grade! Despite our focus on showing most of our pups are sold as pets to approved homes.
We typically produce pups who are either yellow or black. We do not usually breed chocolates.
We very occasionally have older dogs available for re-homing to approved homes.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss buying an adorable Charing puppy, or taking advantage of a Lab who is a bit older (although you may have to wait).
PS We are delighted that we have a litter of top quality yellow puppies expected in mid February from Xena pictured above, by frozen semen from Western Australia. We are happy to take enquiries from people who want family pets, possibly showing, or obedience. Please feel free to call/email
Next Litter Planned: February, 2025
