When was the last dual FC and CH awarded? I believe it was in the 70's. Until this can happen again, the beauty pageant is broken. Proud of my dogs with ZERO CH's in their breeding... because that means that I have athletic dogs who can do the job.

Dr Corrie has always helped me make sure that my labs were at the appropriate weight it can sometimes be a struggle and take focus but it is so important. I am lucky to have had her as my veterinarian to put me on the right track!

I really hate seeing the fat, rolling Labradors in the show ring and they are supposed to be a Sporting Dog! No way could they do their job in the field for 2 minutes‼️
