This NZ based kennel was established in 1975, when I was 12 years old. My first Labrador taught me alot about the breed, but most of all gave me an appreciation of 'true' Labrador Temperament. From the onset the emphasis has always been on breeding quality Labradors that excel in Temperament, Type and Soundness.
Breeders of Champions and Grand Champions, not only in NZ but in many countries, we have a tradition of breeding quality labradors in three colours. Julie Bedford-Pope, owner of Croftsway Labradors is an Accredited International Gundog / Sporting Group judge, and has had the honour of judging Labrador Specialties in Australia, Russia, Europe, Brazil, and in the USA on many occassions - including the LRC of the Potomac (USA) in 2010 - the Largest Labrador Specialty in the World.
