Graystone British Labradors offers puppies from very limited breedings of two of the best pedigreed and accomplished British field Labrador Retrievers in the United States.  In addition to having pedigrees that are among the best and from some of the best bloodlines, our British Labs have proven themselves to be proficient hunters in the field, successful participants in AKC and HRC/UKC Hunt Tests, and successful competitors in limited trialing at AKC Field Trial Qualifying Stakes. 

The British field Labrador is a serious working retriever.  They are generally described as athletic smaller-framed retrievers – bred to be calm, quiet, very tractable, easily steadied, and solid markers with excellent noses.

Indeed, British field Labs have been selectively bred not only to excel at retrieving game, but also to be quiet, attentive, and very biddable.  It’s an interesting balance – a predisposition to be calm, yet still have an intense desire to hunt, flush, and retrieve game.  They are particularly intelligent and possess a remarkable desire to please – making them easy to train to high levels of retrieving competence – even by the novice trainer. 

The British field Labrador’s outstanding characteristics also make them some of the best family pets.  They tend to be exceptionally tolerant, patient, and loving with children.  This temperament is a result of the Britain's historically  selective breeding of their working retrievers, which emphasized the need for their retrievers to interact exceptionally well with groups of people and other dogs at hunts/trials and not to display aggressive or excitable behavior.

In addition to testing marking and handling skills, British retriever field trials emphasize incredibly high standards of quietness, steadiness, and manners – any minor breach of these standards results in the dog and handler being struck from the trial.  Consequently, dogs that excel and achieve retriever field trial titles in the United Kingdom are those that exemplify these qualities.  Naturally, the more field trial titles in a British Lab’s pedigree, the higher the probability of producing dogs with these outstanding qualities.  

Graystone British Labradors has strived not only to obtain the best pedigreed British field Labs possible, but also to hone our retrievers' innate and trained abilities through consistent and progressive training.  Graystone British Labradors are truly some of the finest British Gundogs in America.
