Bellaroyal Labradors

My interest in all things animal was sparked during my early career as a veterinary nurse but my favourite animal was, and has always been, dogs.  My first foray into dog ownership saw me getting involved in both obedience and agility with some success in both.  After settling in Salisbury in the early 1990’s I had my first taste of Gundog training with a local trainer and I was well and truly bitten by the bug! I was soon involved in Working Tests and Field Trials and have had success with several of my dogs including being placed on many occasions as well as winning both Field Trials and working tests.  My interest extends beyond just participating in the trials and I have been the Membership Secretary for the Wiltshire Working Gundogs Society for over twelve years as well as having been the Working Test Secretary for the United Retriever Hants and South West for a couple of seasons.  I also judge at Field Trials and Working Tests and have done so over the last few years.

I established Bellaroyal Labradors in Salisbury, Wiltshire a few years ago with the aim of breeding dogs who are healthy, happy and always a pleasure to work with.  All my dogs are active working dogs, picking up at local shoots and, if good enough, competing in Working Tests and Field Trials.

As a Kennel Club Assured Breeder I normally breed one litter a year although, depending on seasons, I may breed two.  I will always seek out a stud dog with an excellent temperament and health scores and they must have proven themselves in the working environment.  My aim is to always produce Labradors that are biddable and are equally at home excelling in the field, on a shoot, mixing with the family or simply chilling on the sofa!

All my dogs and bitches are BVA/KC hip and elbowed scored, eye tested and DNA tested.
