Brigburn Labradors have been established since 1980 and are based in Northumberland, North East England.

After 38 years of breeding Labradors our philosophy remains the same; temperament, health and type are given equal importance in our breeding programme.

What use is a Labrador without a Labrador temperament or a Labrador that can’t enjoy an active life through joint or eye problems, or for that matter a Labrador that doesn’t look like a Labrador?

We work and show our Labradors. We have bred
Champions in the ring and Field Trial award winners,  winners of working tests and successful assistance dogs at home and abroad; and are always happy to talk to anyone looking for a Labrador as a companion, for show or to work.

Elbow Dysplasia is a major problem in the breed and therefore we have used the scheme ever since it became available almost 20 years ago.

The Labradors we breed from at Brigburn have the basic hip, elbow and eye tests; and we breed only from low scoring dogs with up to date eye certificates. 

​Additionally, our breeding stock are DNA tested for PRCD1.  We also use  further DNA tests as appropriate -see individual dogs for further information.
Brigburn Labradors enjoy WORK, REST and PLAY
Sincere thanks go to all the people who have provided me with the wonderful pictures to show on this website
