Cardueae Labradors

Cardueae Labradors Welcome to Cardueae Labradors. I have owned, trained and worked labradors now for almost half of my life. The dogs enjoy life but equally enjoy their work.

I am a Kennel Club Assured Breeder and strive to breed healthy, trainable, good natured dogs suitable for working or active family homes. I have a team of dogs ranging from puppies in training learning the basics to fully trained dogs for working or competition. I enjoy every aspect of breeding, rearing and training labradors, and find nothing more pleasurable than allowing them the use of their n

atural instinct to help me in my work. During the summer I like to compete in local gundog working tests and spend a lot of time training the dogs with friends. I have recently started to compete in field trials and was lucky enough to gain two awards with Yvie this past season. In winter I spend 3-4 days a week out picking up on a large shoot, allowing the dogs to use their natural ability and determination to find fallen and injured birds. I have been lucky enough to work on some very prestigous shoots around Yorkshire and the dogs make a very good impression on anyone they meet. They behave well, do the job well and continue to suprise me bringing birds from places I did not know existed. We aim to breed dogs that will make fantastic pets but they also love the challenge of a job, whether that be as a gundog, doing agility or obedience or as an assistance dog. All the girls are Hip/Elbow tested, hold current eye certificates and are PRA, CNM, EIC, SD2 and STGD tested aswell, I only use health tested sires to abide by the KC Assured Breeder Scheme. My primary interest is breeding working chocolate labradors using bi***es that are chocolate or carry chocolate and dogs with strong trialling bloodlines. I aim to improve the pedigree of chocolate and chocolate carrying labradors to enable them to compete on a level with their black and yellow counterparts. I stand one fully health tested stud dog which is black carrying chocolate.

Winner of the Dove Valley Working Gundog Club Novice field trial yesterday.

Thank you to all involved in making the day happen, it was a lovely day and I really appreciate the effort everyone put in to it. The sportsmanship shown throughout the day was truly superb!

Hazel joins a very select few chocolate field trial winners and to my knowledge is currently the only living bitch to hold this title ๐Ÿฅ‡๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’ฅ

It makes it incredibly special to have bred not only Hazel but both her mother and father too ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿงฌ

The most amazing feeling ever, I am fit to burst with pride ๐Ÿ’•

In September Yvie & I ran in two 2 day open trials, one in Suffolk & one in Staffordshire โ€“ she performed incredibly well and I was thrilled to be awarded 2nd place in both of those trials.

October started by topping that โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ My Little Sneeze โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ you did it ๐Ÿฅ‡

Winner of the Southern & Western Counties Field Trial Society 2 day AV Retriever Open Stake held at Windsor Great Park by kind permission of His Majesty The King on the 1st & 2nd October 2025.

This win makes Yvie up to a Field Trial Champion (subject to KC approval).

My heartfelt thanks go to absolutely everyone who made the six days of trialling possible.
