Welcome to
DEVINELEA LABRADORS
"SAILOR"
Our objective is to breed true to type, temperament and structuraly sound healthy well socialised lovable Labradors. That are capable of undertaking any task that is set them, e.g tracking, field work, therapy dogs, showing, obedience or as that much loved family member. They fit in well to family life, be it playing with the kids or having a muched loved cuddle on the couch with the adults. Labradors are very affectionate easily trained and are eager to please.
We have always had dogs in our lives. Ben's love of Labradors started as a kid when his family had a Black Labrador Retriever named "Roy". Between us over the years we have had the pleasure of sharing our lives with several different breeds of dogs as our much loved family companions before finally settling on the Labrador Retriever. Between us we have had "Cleo" a Basenji, Great Danes "Choppers and Duke", St Bernard "Helga" our Alaskan Malamute "Keeta", "Bessie" the Kelpie along with "Minnie" a Minuture Fox Terrier and our much loved German Shephards "Leo and PJ" and of course our dear old Labradors "Sailor and Yoda".
The last 35+ years we have had the pleasure of having Labrador Retrievers. We took up showing and breeding this wonderful breed 27+ years ago, at the same time we were succesfully breeding, racing and showing both Thoroughbred and Standardbred horses, something we have now retired from, although we still have a few retirees in our paddock. This has given us more time to spend with our beloved Labradors. Our holidays consist of camping at a lake or somewhere quiet along a river where our dogs can come with us and also enjoy themselves. Our Labradors are a very much loved part of our family and live a happy and idyllic life on our 75 acre rural property in Western Victoria a couple of hours from Melbourne.
