A bit of nostagia - going back 43 years to the foundation of Tintagel Winds. Ballyduff Sunflower born in October 1977 and Kupros Lucifer born in November 1977. I waited two years to have them, but in those two years I learned a lot while waiting for the news of available puppies.
With these two I fixed my "blueprint" for morphology, type, character and everything I understood made up the bona fide Labrador such as the standard described it. I have never altered my blueprint to accomodate judges or fashions. I am the sole judge of my dogs and will not take kindly to my errors. I am my most ferocious judge.

28-04-2003 - 02-09-2019 "Amie", I have just discovered, finished her life after 16 years, on September 2nd. She retired to Paris ten years ago having been a wonderful mother. How to be sad when a Labrador has had such a long life, let us rejoice for her and keep our tears for those who leave this world through disease and accidents when they are still in the prime of life. R.I.P. Amie |

An absolute tragedy. FIRST LOVE MARMITE, born in February 2010, lost his happy and wonderful life yesterday. Brutally.
No, not to cancer or any sickness. Just the sickness of human beings who abandon their detritus in the forest after picnicking. Marmite, running free, found this rubbish and some large lumps of cheese. Being a Labrador he wolfed them down and some blocked and suffocated him. He choked and died. I came in from cleaning the kennels at 10 p.m. last night to find this devastating news from his heartbroken family. He had a lovely life, was in perfect health and was adored. There are no words |
