Awarded BEST PURE BRED LABRADOR BREEDER 2024 UK by LUXlife 

We are over the moon to announce our waiting lists for Ruby & Honey in Spring & Summer 2025 are now open. 

We are a Fully Qualified 5 Star Licensed Higher Standards, Kennel Club Breeders of Extensively Health Tested Pure Bred Labradors. Having been awarded a 5 Star License means that we meet the higher welfare standards which in turn helps potential puppy buyers know that we are doing more to make sure our puppies and their parents are happy and healthy.

We are incredibly proud to be one a handful of Qualified Breeders in the UK having successfully completed the nationally recognised Ofqual Regulated Level 3 Certificate in Dog Breeding, Litter Socialisation and Welfare. This groundbreaking qualification, the first ever of its kind in the UK, has been welcomed by many professionals in the pet sector as a huge step forward in animal welfare. 

We are studying towards the only nationally recognised Ofqual Regulated Level 3 Diploma in Canine Nutrition in the UK. This includes Canine Anatomy and Physiology, Principles of Canine Nutrition, Lifestyle Nutrition, Canine Evolution, Pet Food and The Microbiome, Immunity and Behaviour.. 

We are also studying towards an Ofqual Regulated Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care, Behaviour & Welfare.

We also undertake annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in order to develop new skills and enhance our current abilities in order to be the very best we can.

At Nook on Lyne Labradors we are passionate breeders who embrace that we have a moral & ethical responsibility to ensure the welfare of our beloved dogs and their puppies is at the forefront of our breeding programme.

The ethos of any of our breeding involves dedicating an incredible amount of time & expense with the aim of breeding ethically & responsibly to pass on most importantly superb health to all of our puppies together with the desirable qualities & traits of looks, temperament & confirmation.

We are over the moon that our hard work has been recognised as we have recently been awarded Best Pure Bred Labrador Breeder 2024 UK by LUXlife. 

As a small Breeder our passion is the Labrador Retriever, our dogs are very much part of the family and spend many hours curled up in front of the Aga or Log Burner. We have been accepted by the National Home Breeders Association due to our small scale responsible and ethical breeding primarily in the domestic environment as opposed to large scale commercial breeding.

By only having a maximum of 2 litters a year this allows us to dedicate all our time and resources into raising our litters to the best of our ability and the fabulous reviews we have received on our Nook on Lyne Website shows our level of commitment. Our girls have 18 months between litters and when they are retired, they are NOT re-homed but instead they enjoy their retirement here with us, they are our family.

We work very closely with our local independent Vet in respect of our Dogs health and our breeding program. She carries out a comprehensive Health Assessment and Gait Evaluation of all of our dogs twice per year in order to establish they are in perfect health.

We are therefore very proud that due to this incredibly hard to find impeccable equally matched CLEAR Health Testing of BOTH the Sire and the Dam’s ALL puppies in these litter’s are Guaranteed to be 100% Hereditary Clear of the tested Genetic Conditions currently making them some of the best tested litters by parentage in the UK. 

All puppies will be Hereditary CLEAR of the current 23 Breed Specific Genetic Health Conditions commonly found in the Labrador Retriever. Furthermore the puppies will be Hereditary CLEAR of a further 223 Genetic Health Conditions that could potentially mutate to the Labrador Breed.

Our girls have the most amazing temperament, they have the most loving gentle nature and are a pleasure to own. They have all shown a fabulous ability in Obedience Classes/Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme demonstrating superb metal and physical capabilities. 

Diesel the Sire is our own Stud Dog, he is a remarkable dog. He has an absolutely amazing kind gentle temperament that is sought after.

He is a dark fox red shade of yellow in colour, a strong, muscular, athletic boy and a real head turner. He has already produced some fabulous puppies.

The first 16 weeks of a puppies life are crucial for learning & development. 

We have Litter Socialisation Protocols in place from birth with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) starting at day 3 for 14 days. 

Socialisation continues up until the puppies leave us to ensure our puppies are exposed to as many different and relevant physical and audio stimuli as possible.  We work through an extensive list of approximately 90 different audio sounds before they are 7 weeks old to better prepare them for the big wide world. We also offer tailored stimuli where this would be beneficial for new owners.

We undertake comprehensive puppy profiling and work very closely with new owners to understand their family dynamics and establish what it is they want from a puppy. By observing individual puppies from the day they are born and noting the reactions they show to various stimuli over several weeks allows us to gain a better idea of each individual puppies temperament and traits as they develop.We are our puppies voice and it is vital puppies are placed in the correct homes as we want them to thrive not just survive. At Nook on Lyne nobody gets the last puppy instead everyone gets the right puppy.

These careful observations are then used to create a personalised profile for each Puppy and allow us to provide new owners with an individual specific tailored plan for their new puppy to take home. 

We provide a complete package of funded professional support including a remote breed specific Labrador Puppy training course with Zigzag together with access to 3 Qualified Dog Trainers. 

We also fund a 12 months subscription to veterinary expertise 24/7 365 days a year with VidiVet without having to book a consultation. Ask your question to a vet and receive a personalised video response from the UK qualified Vet team within a matter of moments all via the VidiVet App. 

Puppies are born and reared in our home, they are started on a worming programme at 2 weeks old and are also wormed at 4,6 & 8 weeks with Drontal, they are weighed daily for the the first 2 weeks to ensure adequate daily weight gain, then weekly until 8 weeks. They are microchipped at 6 weeks and vet checked between 7 and 8 weeks at which time they will be given their first vaccinations of Canine Parvovirus and Leptospirosis 2 or 4 depending on your vet recommendation for your Geographical Area.

Puppies will be familiar with a crate, started toilet training outside using AstroTurf and introduced to movement for car journeys.
