About
the Breed |

|
Proud
Kajsa Varg |
In
1974, I got help finding a Labrador puppy by Catta
Knöppel, who had a lot of contact with
Mrs Sigyn
Littorin at Nattens Kennel, the Grand Old
Lady of Labradors in Sweden.
A yellow
dog, INTUCH SUCH
NUCH Nattens War Cry, was mated to a yellow imported
bitch, Ballyduff
Zephyr, owned by Eva och Sven-Eric Delér at Proud
Kennels in Vallentuna. I made a call and was promised a
female puppie.
After waiting and longing, with many
preparations and lots of reading, the
litter was born and I was owner of my
first Labrador.
Sven-Eric at once made it clear to me,
that the Labrador was a Retriever, a
working dog.
As soon as Proud Kajsa Varg was
old enough, I entered a game course led
by Sven-Eric och
Lars Lillnor (Birdland). After that my aim always have
been, to merit my dogs both in the Show
ring and in the Field, though I don't go
hunting myself. |

The Labrador
retriever is the ultimate allround dog.
The breed is useful as guide- service- rescue- and drug
dogs, but the main purpose was that of a retrieving gundog,
where it is used mainly at bird and small game hunts.
A
strong will to please, strength and physical fitness, combined with a strong adaptability makes it well
suited for all purposes.
It is intelligent, keen and biddable with a strong will
to please, which makes it an adaptable, devoted companion. |

"Hoss"
|
|
Manymills Hokum
was born on the 1st of July 1992 and he came to
Sweden, as an eight weeks old puppie. His
breeder, Susan Scales at Manymills Kennels in
Great Britain, was known for, as she put it
herself, her "Multi Purpose" Labradors.
Unfortunally is she no longer with us.
I bought
him because I thought he would suit my own
bitches well and indeed he did.
As an elderly gentleman he enjoyed being
retired. He always had had a lot of "will to
please" and was very healthy his whole life. He
became twelve years of age.
We miss him a lot, he was willing to work, a kind and affectionate
dog with great personality.
He is the father of eight litters, with seven different bitches.
In the last litter two of the girls are Guide Dogs
for the Blind.

"Bonnie"
|
|
Proud Kajsa Varg
was born on the 24th of June 1974. She is my
foundation bitch and of course she is very
special to me.
She was an excellent game tracking dog and
competed in the highest class. She never got her
merits on Field Trials, but I am to blame,
inexperienced I was to dead birds and rabbits.
She
always had one of the familys shoes in her mouth, to get attention.

"Bessie"
|
|
Duckling's Blackbird
was born on the 13th of December 1977, in the
second of my labrador litters.
With her I tried many different dogsports. She was
good looking and was a keen retriever.
An exciting memory is a duckhunt at Ovesholms
Estate in Scania with, at the time, the young King
of Sweden.
She had a lot of will of her own ("I'll do
this myself, missy!") and was not always so
easy to guide. She would never give up!
Bessie had five litters and and still find traces
of her in the present dogs.
She was quite a friend. |

|
|
| Duckling's Eaglet
was born on the 12th of July 1980. Lotta Håkansson
was the best of puppy buyer and merited Eaglet in
all ways. Many good and clever dogs from Loving Will's kennel
descend from her. She was daughter to Duckling's Blackbird
and granddaughter to my very first labrador, Proud Kajsa Varg. |

Loving
Will's Cyd Charice was born on the 27th of January
1987. She was the mother of the two bitches I took
back from Lotta Håkansson, Loving
Will's Duckling "Emma" and Loving Will's Easter
Duck "Ester". Unfortunaly Emma had hard
whelpings, so she became a pet, but Ester have
ment a lot to me.
Lotta had an traffic accident and went to hospital,
when Connie had the Emma-litter, I had to bring
the mother and puppies to Öland. The puppies were
only five weeks old, Connie behaved greatly and
accepted it all. |

Loving Will's Easter Duck
was born on the 14th of April 1992. Ester reminded
me very much of Duckling's Blackbird, mother of Duckling's Eaglet
and one of my favourites among the older dogs.
Ester had three litters. She was an excellent mother and
shared her working ability and cleverness to her
puppies. She was a good retriever and a good game
tracking dog.
She was one of the best! |

"Birdie"
|
|
Duckling's
X-Bird was born on the 25th of Mars 1997. She was a
gem with a lot of go! To me she was the absolute
Labrador.
Birdie was the mother of one litter.
She was the sixth generation of bitches, since my
first Labrador, Proud Kajsa Varg. All generations
before were merited on both Shows and Field
Trials, but unfortunately I did not merited
Birdie.
When I see pictures of her grand mother and
grandgrand mother etc. I can see the resemblance.
Both in likeness and temperament.
Good you were there Lotta! |

"Zally"
|
|
|
Duckling's
Zee-Bird was born on the 22nd of October 2001.
She was the seventh generation of bitches, since
my first Labrador, Proud Kajsa Varg.
Zally grew up together with Pixie, my first Jack Russell
Terrier, one month older. They were the best of
friends and had a lot of fun together!
Zally
was eager to please and loved to work and would really
had been better
off with someone who worked with her. I think she
sometimes found life here a little boring!
