'Dana' Kennels established in 1974 started off with one working gundog and has grown from there in the early days we had a 7 acre lake on our farm ideal for Labradors. Over the years we have used imported bloodlines and shown our dogs to Championship level and beyond as well as maintaining the inherent working ability. We have had our dogs in the Kiwi recovery program, used by the Blind foundation, drug detection and working Gundogs as well as the loyal family companion to many families some of whom have had 3 of our Labradors over the years. We were fortunate that in the early years of showing and breeding to have help and advice from one of the greats of the Labrador World in Nell and Tom Jobey of Te Reinga Kennels. We were one of the first Kennels to do the hip and elbow testing in NZ and have carried on to do all the tests we can to continue to breed sound happy Labrador puppies that confirm to the standard of broad and strong. Puppies sometimes available to approved homes.

I am proud to have taken over the Sykesville Kennel name after the passing of my grandfather, who established this kennel name in 1973. My grandfathers passion was producing labradors with a strong retrieve drive and the ability to work all day, as well as being loyal family pets. My Grandfather bred a FTCH which was a big achievement for him. I hope to carry on his legacy and will continue to breed true to type Labrador Retrievers. My aim is to create the ultimate dual purpose Labrador, one that is out retrieving during the day and laying by the fire with the kids at night. The ultimate goal for us is to provide families with a Labrador that is sound in body and mind. Health and temperament is forefront of our breeding decisions. Our dogs are given the best lives possible, we live on a sheep & beef farm in north Taranaki. Our dogs live a active lifestyle and are used to retrieve game birds and possums. They are much loved members of our family. For updates and information join SYKESVILLE KENNELS on Facebook. Feel free to contact me to go on my wait list, or for anymore information.

We have only one puppy available from our last litter, which was superb, out of a Champion mum (imported from Australia) and sired by semen imported from a Finnish dog. "Bob" is a beautiful yellow Labrador boy who has just turned 10 weeks old and is ready for his forever home. From a top quality litter he is vaccinated and microchipped, and will be registered with Dogs NZ (so will come with papers endorsed "not to be bred from"). He is very affectionate, responsive and people orientated. Please contact me if you would like to love this delightful young fellow. He lives with Andrew, near Pukekohe.
