We're extremely proud that Mrs. Marlene Hepper of Mardas Labradors
in Yorkshire, England, would let us have her boy Oliver (DOB November 27, 2000).
This is what she wrote about him:
"Oliver has tremendous bone and substance. Lovely head and expression which you have seen for
  yourself. Tight round feet. Lovely outline clean shoulders and short back. I would have kept him myself he is pick of litter. But because of my health at the moment I'm only keeping females now. I m reducing my male labradors down to two."
We're ever so grateful!

Whatever it is, I want it. It's food!"

Such a BIG sweetheart, the love of my life
Oliver's first show on March 3, 2002.
Judge: Mrs Sheelin Cuthbert (UK)
Result: EXCELLENT
Report:
 
 
Very good looking black with nice head and expression. Good reach of neck. Good topline. Excellent us of his tail. Well angulated hindquarters and neat feet. He needs to lean forward when showing as he is inclined to look straight in shoulder. At the moment he moved rather close behind, this may improve if he gets broader in body.  

EXCELLENT,  
Sheelin Cuthbert
Oliver's Very First Medal for his Very First Show
Congratulations sweet lad!!!

May 19, 2002: Oliver wins his second medal! Result: 4th, excellent.
Report:
"Strong young dog, almost mature in head, good neck + topline. Perhaps I like a little strength in hock. Good in front. Perhaps I prefer a little more lag of shoulder. Moves well, front + rear. Excellent." 
Judge: Mr. R. McCoy (Ireland). (Not the real McCoy)
