******
Cabbie has an outstanding pedigree. More importantly he has the breed features of a good “HEAD, COAT and TAIL”. He is structurally well proportioned and boned. We are grateful for the many judges who have already acknowledge this young dog.
His sire and dam lines are littered with top winning and top producing labradors from the USA and Australia. We have no doubt he will have a successful show career and he will be a great addition to our breeding plans for the future.
Cabbie is from our first litter using imported semen. We are thrilled with the results and the progeny produced from this match. A huge thanks to Margie and Ed Miller from Torngat Labradors for allowing us to use semen from their lovely boy, Cabot. Also thank you to Guy Spagnolo (Driftway Labradors) for allowing us to have Cabbie’s beautiful mother (Raven). With out both of you none of this would have been possible.

Cabbie has been very successful in the show ring, often beating very good and successful mature dogs. Most pleasing is that he has excelled at specialty shows.

To date some of his memorable awards have been: –
