In the 18 months
that they have been with us down here in South Florida
they truly have become part of our wonderful family of Labradors.
They will be missed, but we all know how much they
have to give in the future to those in need.
At Chambray Labradors we have
made a commitment to the breed, not only
with show Labradors , WITH ALL LABRADORS!
