She's an absolute sweetheart and has really earned her name as my little Shadow. Only shown occasionally she achieved her title at 15 months, winning every CC over older competition.
Shadow won Canterbury Labrador Retriever Club's "Show Dog of the Year" in 2012
Shadow is now retired from the show ring (apart from occasional appearances at specialties) and has given me some beautiful kids to continue on with. I look forward to having them out and about both in the ring and competing in some working disciplines. Shadow + 3 of her kids have won class-in-show awards at Labrador and/or Gundog specialties and the 3 pups I've kept from her have won multiple age in groups at all breeds champ show level - producing better than herself which is the way it should be. All 4 of her kids in the ring are well on the way to their titles.
Shadow has now gone to live with Belinda and her family and is in training to be a seizure alert dog for their youngest daughter. While I never intended to part with her, I couldn't ask for a more perfect home for her and I knew she would be the perfect dog for them.
