Guinness is an outstanding representation of the breed. 
A moderate dog with a lovely balance and a temperament to die for.

Guinness had a lengthy and very successful show career which has been nothing
short of stunning, right from a baby puppy. Guinness achieved his Australian Championship
title within 9 days of turning 12 months old. And, over the next few years Guinness'
success continued in the show ring, with him winning in excess of 75 best of breeds.

He obtainined his Australian GRAND Championship title in 2007.

******

Guinness has excelled at both NSW & QLD specialty shows winning
numerous “Classes In Show” & “Best Opposites In Show”.


Below are 4 critiques from world-renowned Labrador breeders…

Mrs M Litherland (Oakhouse - UK)
"Free moving black, well muscled quarters in typical double coat, neat feet,
good bone. When he stands naturally he has a well angulated front but tends
to draw up too much, never the less he won a class of excellent champions."

Mrs M Brown (Ramsyville - UK)
"Liked this black for type & construction, nothing overdone here, beautiful head
& expression, well put together, excellent overall balance. A quality dog!"

Mrs M Hopkinson (Rocheby - UK)
"Very nice in profile - flows through from head to tail. Good typical
head, nice set on neck, ample bone & good tight feet, second thigh well
developed & used his rear to cover the ground easily."

Guinness is a successful group, runner up in group and class in group winner. 
Importantly, he has been very successful at speciality shows both here and in QLD. 
He has been recognised by many leading labrador breeders and has won many class in show 
awards at speciality shows. Guinness is now retired from the show ring and we are proud that 
Guinness achieved all this success whilst being shown by relative novices in the breed.

Guinness has been a great stud dog and has sired in excess of 260 puppies. 
His type, lovely temperament and soundness has always been passed on to his progeny. 
To date, he has sired 10 conformation champions, including what is believed to be the 
first recognised chocolate female Grand Champion. He is also the sire of trial and tracking 
champions, and obedience champions. He also has progeny that work as Guide Dogs, 
Assistance Dogs and Drug Detection Dogs. 
 
Thank you to Glenice and Mike McClure from Blackboy Kennels for entrusting 
us with this amazing dog and offering us a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Guinness is AVAILABLE for stud to approved bitches.
