THE HISTORY OF THE LABRADOR the begining: The history of the labrador the begining, its developement through the ages to the dog we know and love today

The History of the Labrador the beginning is the history of how dogs evolved from the wolf to the basic breeds created by man in the mists of history from our need for help to survive the harshness of life, and through history until now.

I have spent a life time with animals particularly Dogs and horses, I had my first Labrador when I was eleven, bred my first litter in 1964 attended my first show with my own Labrador in 1965 and have bred and shown ever since, I also bred and showed curly coated retrievers and cocker spaniels too. until eight years ago when sadly I was forced to give it up due to ill health. I still have three Labradors one my own lines ninth generation two kindly allowed to live with us by a kind Labrador breeder friend. My Husband Roy has always helped me with my dogs and horses has to do it all these days. We live in a lovely cottage in Shropshire with our three dogs seven cats and a lovely big garden. I have Labrador friends all over the world keeping me up to date and enjoying our beautiful breed and my family too, We now have grandchildren to keep us busy.
