Exelby Labradors

The Exelby labradors are situated in the beautiful rural setting just outside Lockerbie in SW Scotland.  All my dogs live in my home as part of the family.  My pups are born and reared in the home and by the time they are 8weeks old and ready to join their new owners, they are very well socialised, with other dogs, children, cats and the occasional pheasant or two roaming the garden.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

My father used to show his Border Terriers, and when I was around 8 years old, I was allowed to show my dog for the 1st time.  But, to his dismay, my concetration wandered to the Labrador ring.  They held a certain fascination, and I knew when the time was right, the Labrador would be my passion. 

When I married, my husband owned 3 working labradors, and taking on the role of the 'good wife' I joined him in his little hobby..'the shoot'.  I was hooked.  Labradors became my life. After the death of my husband I was offered a 'show type' Labrador, and my return to the showring was a wonderful experience, and I have loved every moment of it.
