Meet The
Chambray Labradors Owners, Breeders and Exhibitors
From the
thousands of emails we receive a year, a great portion of them ask the same
question
“Who are the people that make up the Labrador Retriever Owner’s
Community?”
For starters
there are no “cut and paste” answers to this question because there are so
many
wonderful people that love Labrador Retrievers as much as I do and
share that passion by joining
in with this very unique network of owners,
breeders and exhibitors.
However,
there are several prerequisites that must be met before anyone is invited to
participate at
any level offered by Chambray Labradors and this unique
Owner's Community.
1.
They must love the breed
and profess to do all that is right by the breed, including understanding
what our slogan “for the Betterment of the Breed” entails.
2.
They must accept that once
in the program, they will become ambassadors of the breed,
for from that
point forward they will be in the spotlight everywhere they go with one of
our
Labrador Retrievers.
3.
The purpose of having a
great specimen of the breed is to pass it forward to the next
generation so
that others in the future may also partake in the good fortunes created by
the program.
With these
basic principles explained, those searching for a new member to add to their
family
will have some type of general guideline to begin the process of
understanding what the Labrador Retrievers Owner’s Community is all about.
Of course,
the website at
www.Chambraylabradors.com , with hundreds of pages (700) and detailed
information on the workings of such an extensive endeavor aids greatly in
the dissemination of
valuable information to those searching for a Labrador
Retriever puppy.
All
guarantees are covered explicitly and those searching and comparing with
what other
breeders offer, may generate a hard copy of those warrantees and
guarantees for their records.
The amenities
that are offered by Chambray Labradors are also listed on the website for
all to see.
These amenities include the Lifetime Support System that is in
place for each and every puppy
placed by Chambray Labradors. Based on 40
years of involvement with the breed, invaluable
information is shared with
all that participate. That includes expertise in breeding, raising,
nutrition, training and exhibiting Labrador Retrievers.
Chambray
Labradors has now been active in breeding and raising Labrador since 1970.
In that time,
we have also become professional dog trainers, now into our
25th year and account for over 15, 000
dogs that have been through the
various functions and activities including the training classes that
are
offered year round on Thursday nights and part of the year on Tuesday
nights. In addition, we
offer one-on-one training sessions at our home
throughout the week where we see more than
20 dogs per week privately.
Our In-Kennel
Training also has seen hundreds of dogs that are left for extended periods
of time
for training. We also have conducted scores of training and handling
seminars for clubs and
organizations as fundraisers that has also accounted
for hundreds of attendees with their dogs.
One of our largest such event was
done for the South Florida Labrador Retriever Club back in the
year 2001
that drew nearly 50 dogs and owners and was responsible for contributing the
money
for funding the first-ever SFLRC specialty.
The greatest
perk that new buyers are enthralled with is the free training that comes
with each
and every Labrador Retriever puppy or dog placed by Chambray
Labradors. For those puppies
deemed as Show Quality, the training is free
for the lifetime of the dog! Free training for the lifetime
of the dog is
unheard of in the dog fancy as no other Labrador breeder in the country is
even qualified
to make this offer. That is free Thursday night training
class for the lifetime of the dog, PLUS free
private one-on-one training
sessions by appointment at our home!
The people
that make up the Labrador Retriever Owner’s Community are those that did
their homework, compared what other breeders had to offer and came to a
conclusion based on verifiable facts, figures,
and other concrete
information that this was the place to purchase their Labrador puppy/dog
from and
to take advantage of all the warrantees, amenities, training and
support system offered by the unique
and exclusive endeavor.
So, just who
are these people that were lucky and smart enough to find Chambray Labradors
and
to recognize the great value in purchasing a puppy from our program,
plus were committed to the prerequisites that are a must in order to be
considered for a placement of one of our top show puppies?
They are
every day folks like you and I, with the addition of having a love affair
with this wonderful
breed of dog and the desire to share that love with
others by participating in all types of activities
with their dogs including
perpetuating the breed with the next generation of wonderful
Labrador
Retrievers.
These fine
folk come from all different walks of life as the entire social-economic
spectrum is
represented by all of these owners and the one link that bonds
them is their love for the breed,
plus their willingness to participate in
all types of activities with their Labrador Retrievers.
In keeping
with our pictorial journal theme, we present many of those owners, breeders
and
exhibitors that have chosen to become part of Chambray Labradors and the
Labrador Retriever
Owner’s Community. As you will readily see, they come
from all parts of the country with Florida representing the largest segment
of the group. Click on icon below and meet Chambray Labrador's Labrador
