OUR GUYS
Meet the incredible studs that make our program possible below!
Thompson
Thompson, oh, Thompson. Son of our very first male Labrador stud, Tom (Get it? Tom’s son??). From the moment we laid eyes on Thompson, we knew we could never let him go. Tom is special to us in so many ways and we knew when we paired him with Prima we would want a puppy out of their litter. But even so, we were not prepared for Thompson as a puppy, and how he would capture our hearts. Thompson was a solo puppy and his mom, Prima, who is one of the most devoted moms we have had, could not stop caring for him and feeding him. He was sooooo fat, chunky, and lovable, we could hardly stand it. And now, that chunky pup that could hardly walk for a while he was so, ahem, well-fed, has turned into the GORGEOUS stud we always knew he would be. He has his parents' easy going, friendly, fun, and calm demeanor that makes him an absolute joy to be around. He has a huge, chunky, head, nicely built structure and is very nicely balanced and a good size of a healthy 85 pounds. We are overjoyed to begin to welcome Thompson puppies into our program. He is able to produce both black and chocolate pups. There are many, many European champions in his impressive pedigree. We are thankful every day to get a puppy like Thompson out of our wonderful Tom (and Prima).
Cruise
Cruise comes from a Labrador Breeder in Ukraine and we couldn’t be more thrilled about him. He is a nice thick and chunky boy with a gorgeous head and loose skin galore - something we can’t help but love in our labs. He has such kind and trusting eyes and the nice, short, and wide muzzle we are always hoping for. Cruise has beautiful red fur and a nice thick coat and tail that make him live up to his English Labrador name. He’s stocky and handsome and impressive, even more so in person. He has some of the best fox red parents in his pedigree, something we have strived very hard to find, because while the fox red color is very popular right now, finding great examples of English Labradors that are fox red is quite difficult. When we found out about his litter that was to be born, we immediately reserved one because we knew how special the puppies were going to be. And Cruise has lived up to and exceeded our expectations! In personality, Cruise is the goofiest, bravest, gentlest, friendliest, and most playful boy. No one can resist coming up to pet him when they see him, and he always acquiesces like it’s the best day of his life. Our vet loves when Cruise comes in for whatever reason, because he is such a favorite with all of them. He is a joy to go places with. He is so close to perfection in our eyes!
Gatsby
The Great Gatsby is our beautiful English fox red all the way from Italy! He is such a fun boy! He is everybody’s favorite. He is friendly and happy and loves to play. He has just the right amount of playful energy and also settles right down in the house and curls up at our feet- that is unless he insists on hugs/pets. He is the perfect companion in every way. Gatsby is SUCH a gorgeous boy! His grandfather was the very first Fox Red Labrador AKC Grand Champion! Gatsby has gotten those amazing genes, not to mention the multiple other champions he has in his lineage. He is probably our darkest red we own. His coat is difficult to describe or capture in a photo- only in real life can you see how vibrant a dark red he is. He has such a wise and caring expression and he is a big boy, not short in the leg at all! He weighs an athletic 80 pounds, when he isn’t given too many extra treats (easy to do with a Labrador, hah!). He is very nicely put together, and combining looks and temperament, he is the complete package. He’s just an incredible dog. We are so lucky to have him.
Rain Forest Bella Mare is our incredible International Champion from Poland we are so grateful to have as stud in our program! He is from some of our favorite Labrador lines in the world and it’s a dream come true to have him siring some of our litters for us! He has a heart of gold and is a real ambassador for the breed. He is calm, gentle, and very fun to just hang out with. He has a beautiful structure and his large head and eyes with just the right amount of wrinkle to them are so kind and loving, typical of Kennel Bella Mare. He is a nice big boy, weighing around 90 pounds or so. He produces black and yellow puppies and his past productions are evidence of the generations of excellent breeding that are behind him. We are so thrilled to be able to offer his puppies as perfect pets.
