Labrador Retriever Stud Dog Calendar

Welcome to Graycroft Kennels. Our interest in Labrador Retrievers started during the early 80’s. Bill was looking for an all-around hunting dog and I wanted one to love.  We were fortunate to start with a wonderful pup out of a Sandylands Markwell daughter and sired by Sandylands Rip VanWinkle.  We called her Faith.  She was our foundation bitch.  She introduced us to AKC Hunt Tests and Obedience Trials.  Since then we have trained and titled multiple dogs at all levels in hunting, obedience and conformation. We follow the training methods outlined by Mike Lardy and find it allows all dogs to reach their potential in the field. Our goal in breeding Labradors is to regain the old fashion conformation while maintaining temperament, intelligence and instinct.
