Nearly every Labrador alive today can trace its family tree back to a tiny group of dogs on a few British estates in the 1880s. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As the breed's Newfoundland ancestors were dwindling, a handful of aristocratic families stepped in to save what remained. Two dogs in particular, known as Buccleuch Avon and Buccleuch Ned, became foundation sires whose bloodlines run through the modern Labrador almost universally.

It means the breed passed through a very narrow gate. From that small founding group came the millions of Labs that now live on nearly every continent, in homes, in service harnesses, and out in the field. 🐾

When you look at your own dog, you are really looking at the far end of an unbroken line that once hung on by just a few carefully protected animals.

Happiest of 12th birthdays to the Queen 👑 of the household, the one who started it all and who has been by our sides for every core memory life event 🥹
It has been an absolute privilege having you grow grey and achieve 12 laps around the sun ☀️, with hopefully many more to follow.
Pupcakes from Barking Mad Treats later and photo shoot with Coffee and Hops next week to celebrate 🎉
Happy Birthday Arya 🩷🐾

This one gave us a heart attack today, she decided at 12 years old to take herself off on a little adventure and was missing for a couple of hours. While out for her toilet break, she has found a fault in the fence and wandered off. She is so quiet and sleeps all day, it took us a while to notice. The guilt was unreal.
I was searching the bush and creek, that stretches down by the cul de sac where we live and thankfully someone heard me calling her name. They had her safe, we were so lucky 🍀 Their home backs onto the creek and they saw her wandering alone.
After dreaming up all these worst case scenarios in my head due to her age, the relief I felt when I saw her was something else. So much ugly crying, snot and all 🙈
These dogs they completely steal your heart and even when they are old and grey still cause trouble. Needless to say she will not be leaving my side this week and is headed to work at the vet clinic with me daily 🐾

Beautiful Polly (Orsina Dancing In the Storm) has a new baby brother 😍 and while he may not be a chocolate, we are totally jealous and just want to squish him.
We hope little Percy and Polly have lots of fun adventures together and that it’s not double trouble for their family.
How cosy do they look? Little cuties
Everyone needs a Lab and a cavalier in their lives 🩷🩵🐾
