At long last we are pleased to introduce Lancroft Labradoodles News page which has been on the ‘back burner’ for a long time!

We would like to thank all of our owners who have kept in touch over the last five years. As always we appreciate their updates and progress reports and always delighted to hear of their puppy’s exploits which sometimes makes for hilarious reading but that’s Doodles for you!

Firstly, out of Flora’s first litter, is Hattie. We love to hear from Hattie’s owners and were very proud when we heard that she had achieved the Kennel Club Good Citizen GOLD Award ! Both Pippa and Hattie have thoroughly enjoyed training together and are now thinking about starting agility classes. See picture of Hattie with her specially made celebration/Birthday cake.

Next is Barney the Agility King! Barney, out of Beth‘s litter, and his owner have done tremendously well since they started in the Agility Ring 18 months ago. Having achieved KC Obedience and Good Citizenship Awards his career in agility started with the Little Stars Dog Agility Club where he stole the limelight and became known as ‘ clear round Barney ’ winning the Club‘s Annual Cup in 2010. Alison has entered him into events outside of the club this summer in various parts of the country with good results. Good Luck for 2012 Barney!

Also we have been treated to some hilarious accounts of Lily at her training classes. In the summer Lily achieved her KC Obedience Bronze award at the age of 12 months. It’s difficult to decide who has had the most fun throughout the year, Lily or her owners Hermione and Alan? Keep up the good work H ! 

Finally, we are delighted to announce that Reuben has come through all the relevant health screening with 'flying colours' and is now At Stud! He sired a lovely litter to Flora in May and we are pleased to report that all puppies are happily settled with their new families and we shall look forward to receiving news from our 'new' owners to post on this page.

We would lIke to wish all our owners and their dogs A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY 2012 from all of us at LANCROFT LABRADOODLES
