My Story:

I retired from teaching 12 years ago. We have a family farm and lost everything to Foot and Mouth. At that time we had only a cross bred litter of ' labradollies', from our pet labrador and working Border Collie, the only sound on a desolate farm! Farmers were being encouraged to diversify so I researched the bloodlines and pedigrees of Labradors and Border Collies and started to breed as a hobby. The rest as they say is 'History'. I now have a Breeder's Licence, the milking byre now houses heated kennels. Pups are KC and ISDS Registered and microchipped. Currently we have pups in America, Dubai, Europe and all over the UK. We do still enjoy having sheep and lambs and a few cattle, a happy farm full of happy animals!
