Richbourne Labradors

Richbourne Kennel was established in 1985, built on classic Sandylands and Rocheby bloodlines with close ties to Norway's Mambrino kennel.

​

We've produced numerous Show Champions, International Champions, CC and Reserve CC winners, exporting Labradors worldwide across all three colours.

​

The breeder began judging in 1985, having judged Labradors internationally including bitches at Crufts 2019. Currently serving as Honorary Secretary of The Yellow Labrador Club since 2001, former Chairman of The Labrador Breed Council, and trustee of Labrador Rescue South East and Central.

​

The family continues the legacy—daughter Bonnie is now a Championship show judge, and son Mark oversees daily dog care.

​

With decades of experience as breeder, judge, competitor, and organiser, Richbourne brings deep expertise to every aspect of responsible Labrador breeding.
