Black Labrador Bitch

Description

💛 Black Labrador Bitch – “Lilly” – Exceptional Working & Family Dog

Lilly is a fast, driven, confident black Labrador with no fear of cover, water, noise, or terrain. She has excelled in every setting — ducks, rivers, stone walls, rough ground, and driven shoot days. Fully socialised, steady, and naturally confident, she is as enthusiastic as she is reliable.

Her accomplishments include:

Top Novice Dog at the National Irish Team Shield (Celtic Challenge)

Multiple working test awards

Outstanding, impeccable natural marking ability

Reads ground and understands the game instantly

Years of picking-up experience

Speed, drive, intelligence, and total commitment to the job

Gentle, loving, well-mannered family dog at home

Health:

Fully health tested – hips, elbows, eyes

Annual vet checks from pup to now

Eyes tested again in 2025

Full blood panel done — completely clear on all fronts

Vaccinated, wormed, and fully up to date

Her two litters have produced pups now winning working tests across Ireland, Scotland, and England.

Lilly would be a perfect match for the UK working test season next spring/summer. Her marking, steadiness, and natural game sense will put any newcomer or experienced handler straight into the awards.

Pedigree

Sire: Copper Birch Mandela — International Field Trial Champion, sire of multiple champions across Ireland and the UK.

Dam line: A proven Irish working bitch line with generations of field trial winners and champions.

Why She’s Available

Lilly is 7 years old, still full of drive, sharpness, and ability. With a young family, a growing business, and kids’ activities every evening, I can no longer give her the time or shoot exposure she thrives on.

For her sake — and to let her enjoy the last years of her working life at the level she deserves — I’m looking for a home where she will be worked, appreciated, and genuinely enjoyed.

Ideal Home

Retired individual, couple, or family

Someone who picks up a few days a week

A home with other dogs

Someone who understands and values working Labradors

No further breeding – papers carry an endorsement
