News

Another year is coming to an end !

We can look back at a wonderful and fantastic 2009, after a remarkable beginning. The past year we enjoyed our dogs a lot and the many new friends we met on show and elsewhere, both here and abroad. The support we received, often unexpected, was appreciated very much and strenghtens us to proceed the way we do.

On show this year we had some unbelievable achievements. Wallace becoming 4th in the heavy Undergraduate Class at Crufts was fabulous. Storm gaining his Luxembourg, German and International Show Championship and gaining many CAC(IB)’s was the topping on the ice. Furthermore we gained CAC(IB)’s with Iona in Leeuwarden and with Wallace in Mechelen.

The biggest joy is however seeing our puppies becoming beautiful youngsters. In 2010 we hope to show some of them with success. All the other puppies going to fine chosen pethomes feels good.

After having had her first litter, Abby is ready again to go into the fields and pick up training. We have some goals to achieve with her this year, because she loves training so much.

Happy we are, that the also by us newly founded Labrador Retriever Club Nederland had such a good start. After the foundation in april many breeders and friends of the Labrador joined the club to become an official FCI Breedclub soon. Good to know that breeders have some things to say again about their own beloved breed. Breeders off course are the basis of the breed and responsible for the continued existence. Some other breedclubs seem to forget about that or forgot about that a long time ago.

Above all, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy and succesfull 2010 !!

Marion & John, kids and all the labs

Arleen's pups are born - "It's a Man's World"

22-10-2009 - Who could have guessed ?!

After very quick delivery we counted 9 males,
4 brown and 5 black

The photoalbum has been made up to date

A new experience for us to have puppies born during the daytime. Up until now we always trusted on the fact that the puppies are born at night

Also this very first Mollywoods litter feels very very special ! We are so proud at Arleen and Laszlo, they did a fine job !

One black male has problems right from the start, looking perhaps just a little too premature. He is in the incubator, getting al the care we can give him.
We fear for the worst and keep you posted ..

From the litter from Abby one girl suddenly died, just like that ..

The other 5 do very well though, some of them being almost 1 kilo already !

The new life !

What can be more beautiful?

For this opportunity we installed a photoalbum

Abby gave birth to 6 wonderful puppies in the night from sunday to monday 19-10-2009. It is clear that Wallace is the one and only dad, colour does not lie !

This last Fairywoods litter does feel very special to us!

Very soon we shall have more info and a beautiful photo-album

Now we move on to the pups from Arleen, to be born today or tomorrow ..

15-9-2009 Puppy update

Today was sonarday with the three ladies

Left Abby's sonar, she is packed with puppies. Right Arleen's sonar, also a filled belly. Iona was empty this time. No problem, better luck with Quincy next time.

Fairywood's L'Etoile St. Sylvestre seems to come in season shortly, so she shall be mated a little earlier than expected

The puppy page is therefore slightly changed

At the moment we can not handle any more puppy requests for both upcoming litters due to the high number of requests. Also the upcoming litters from Etoile and Demi are already more than overbooked

You can subscribe for the two upcoming litters in 2010 from Iona and Diva on a very limited scale however

Very special thanks also to Mr. Zidar, judging the group (gundogs). He placed Storm second, quite special for a Labrador!

After becoming Luxembourg and International Show Champion last weekend, Storm gained another 3 titles in Leipzig. This must be a record for any showlabrador for sure, 5 titles in just 7 days !

We are very proud to be able to love and own him. Storm is not only a beautiful dog in the showring, but also very easygoing as a housedog, with one of the loveliest caracters seen in Labrador.

We are most happy for his breeder Manuel Zubiria Aznar, whom we know is especially proud.

We would almost forget that Wallace and Emme were also in Leipzig and did really great. We are extremely proud at them too.

Storm, young as he is, has an impressive list of honour already, having won 9 CC's and 5 BOB's. But above all he is a wonderful and enjoyable dog with the most loveliest of caracters, who we would not like to mis for a million dollars !!

Sunday morning news - 5-7-2009!

Fairywood's Question of Faith (owner: Martine Heijnen)

We are very pleased that our Frisian horse Auke now stands at home. All the labbies and the cat got used to it within no time.

A wonderful day, nice people, lovely dogs and everybody crazy about his dog, more than wonderful to see. A meeting also means meeting each other and off course judging the puppies
(although, puppies ...)

Does he look like his sister? Does she have pa's nose?
Is yours also that naughty?

Little Will as he is called, what have you become a nice and handsome young boy. Sandra, Ebbi and Toni, we know you are very proud and happy with the young man, but we are too you must know !!

We congratulate you with Little Will becoming Best Puppy at show in Knittlingen yesterday 28-6-2009. We thank you for making us so proud.

Further more we congratulate you with the super results from Matilda and Bubble, read all about it here (Watermaniacs Labradors)

"Nice head and expression, excellent reach of neck, topline and tailset. Good chest and forechest, strong loins. Well angulated behind, sound mover, excellent coat."

What a nice day we had ! Never before we had so much fun at the clubmatch, with that many friends and lovely labs. We scored above expectation with our champions and adults, but we are most proud at our youngest generation which is very promising and coming up strong. All of them at least excellent, most of them placed in very large classes. Some of them left at home because of bad coats. Thanks to all our friends who helped out in showing all the labs, which wasn't easy. Thanks Martine and Rini Heijnen, Anita Jonkers, Ina Haspels and Ilona Schapers for being such a good team with us. Thanks to the kids for supporting us so much !

But ...... the most nice and stunning thing we experienced was after we arrived home. One of our dearest friends, very pleased with the dog they got from us, showed us their appreciation by bringing us this lovely present, two concrete, lovely looking labradors. The bigger one weighing more than 100 kgs!

"Another very good bitch, balanced troughout, pretty head, although she does not like to use her ears. Good coat and tail, very nice on the move"

"Strongly built black bitch who has many qualities. I would like her slightly more feminin. Excellent neck, well made body, typical tail, in good coat, slightly soft in topline, moving soundly"

Libby looking just like her mother, having all the best from her father !! We are so happy with this lovely little heartbreaker. Her lovely litter sisters Zelda and Cato got excellent and 7th place.

"Another nice black puppy, sweet head and expression. Stop has to develop a little, good neck placed into well layed shoulders. Good brisket. Level topline, tight feet. Enough of quarters, great coat and tail. Moved well for her age"

May is quality all over !! She looks exactly like her mother already, in a chocolate version.

"This is a quality chocolate. She has a good neck and shoulder. Good eye color for coat. She's well of bone she has depth to her body, carries a level topline and flews into wide strong quarters. She is one of the few to move a purpose for drive."

Ollie did not know he was showing of. He was only interested in all the rest, hahaha. But he did great nevertheless. Ollie is loved and owned by Herman and Sera Wester.

"Yellow puppy, a bit heavy in skull, good pigmentation. Nice reach of neck, correct angulations. A bit long in loin, sound mover."

Cato can not only retrieve very well. She is also very showy. Cato is loved and owned by Ina and Marco Haspels. (Labradorium Labradors)

Wiesje showed her very best, being a perfect mixture of our lovely Frouke and clown Wallace. Brother Ollie (Singleton) and brother Gijs (Glenury Royal) did very well also.

"This black has a pleasing head and expression. She has well layed shoulders and neat feet. A little bit slightly in loin. Very well angulated in rear, moves very well."

Furthermore the following excellent results of all our understanding puppies

Again we are very very proud at our girl living with Antonio Imparato now (Equensis Labradors)

We are so happy Faith is in the right hands with you Antonio and your lovely wife Gerardina.

Faith succesfully passed her eaxams for the "Wesentest", many congratulations with that !!

Die 21 Monate alte Hündin ist erst seit 5 Monate, bei ihrem neuen Besitzer. In dieser Zeit hat sie eine vorbildliche, sehr vertrauensvolle Bindung entwickelt, sie ist spielbegeistert, begegnet allen Menschen freundlich und absolut sicher.
Ihre jagdliche Anlage sind Ausgeprägt. Auf dem Parkour ist sie akustisch und bei dem Schüssen absolut sicher. Bei zwei optischen Gegenständen ist sie erst etwas zurückhaltend, läst sich dann heranführen. Die anderen meistert sie problemlos.
Eine leichtführige, typische arbeitsbegeisterte Hündin in den richtigen Händen.

At the international dogshow in Arnhem today 31/5/2009 we had some stunning results again.

Many congratulations especially today to Ina Haspels,
who did great with her Merel.

Fairywood's Postcard from Heaven
1st place junior class bitches (Junior CAC)

22 and 24 May we were in Oldenburg to join a national and a international dogshow

Above all, we had a few lovely holidays in a beautiful environment with lots of lovely walks for Storm en Iona.

Negative associations towards the Fairywood's name and a bad and unhealty taste in our mouth considering the name, made us decide to join Molly's Mountain and Fairywood's into the new name of Mollywood's.

At the international show in Aalborg (DK) 2/5/2009 our Wallace wins the open class. A well filled class with 13 competitors. We are so proud again at our yellow bear !

At the Europasieger in Dortmund 1/5/2009 Storm gains 4th place in de Champion class

Faith won a large intermediate class at the LCD show in Bad Soden (26-4-2009) under judge Richard Wiles. After that she became second best bitch. We are so proud at you all !!!

Show in Goes: 3 x 3 = 9 !

Fairywood's Postcard from Heaven
3rd place in junior class bitches
(owner Ina & Marco Haspels, "uit 't Labradorium")

Ina & Marco, many congratulations with this wonderful result with your Merel in the junior class bitches. Merel does also congratulate her grandma Fairywood's Royal Brown Rose with winning the Dutch Veteran Championship. Well done Sjoukje Hofma !

14-4-2009: Iona was in a superform today. After not have been showed for quite some time now (she had her first litter !) Iona is well back into her finest shape, slightly better even !

She gained her first CAC under judge Mrs. Morton. Iona won a heavy open class with lots of quality before being picked out as best bitch. Mrs. Morton wrote the following about Iona:

"Smashing black of very good size. She has a beautiful head and eye color. Strong powerful neck into a beautifully put together front. Wonderful rib and forechest, strong through couplings and super quarters and stifle. Topped off with correct coat and otter tail. Moves free, easy and with drive."

Many credits to her breeder, Mrs. Diana Downey-Tulloch and many thanks to judge Mrs. Morton.

You think you've had it all !! Half an hour before your lovely litter of puppies would be identified by the Kennelclub, the staffmember calls that it's not going to happen today ! The Fairywood's former owner seized some of our dogs and a litter of puppies and also involved the Kennelclub not to identify the puppies. The Kennelclub, apparently not knowing what they were doing, choose side, which occured very strange at that time for an independant club. A heartless action from all the ones involved in this, fighting over the backs of helpless little puppies !

Man, we are so happy and proud with all the new owners of these puppies, who had lots of patience and showed lots of love and care for their puppies during this sad situation. Finally when there was a go for the identification, and it almost went wrong but didn't at the last moment, the pups were identified the 31st of March at the age of almost 9 weeks. And, after all, it was a very pleasant and cosy day also, with lovely weather. Afterwards coffee and cake and everybody went home with satisfaction.

Again we thank you all a thousand times you lovely people, for your patience and your compassion. Lots, lots and lots of luck with your puppies:

Congratulations Antonio & Gerardina with the excellent results you achieved with

at the CACIB show in Offenburg 14-3-2009. Faith became 2nd (junior RCAC) in a big junior class.

We are so incredibly proud that we achieved this result with our beloved 'Wally'

Storm and Etoile were also present and we were very pleased with their appearance also.

Etoile only 4 months after having had her second litter looked very well in open class bitches, also due to the excellent handling of our son Willian.

Many thanks to Sandra and Antonia Benzing (Watermaniacs) for the lovely pictures.

Another show weekend we shall not lightly forget. This time we went to Stuttgart, 8 and 9 November 2008. On Saturday Mrs. A. Verbeek was judging the CACIB show, on Sunday Dr. I. Kraft was judging the National show.

Many thanks to the Clubmatch commission for organizing an excellent day out. Special thanks to all the judges, whom did a wonderful job: Mr. Wim Wellens, Mr. Dick Rutten, Mrs. Dinanda Mensink and Mrs.Saskia Rathenau.

We also congratulate Annamaria Mud and Pippi (Doiridh of Molly's Mountain) with her "excellent" in junior class at the NLV Clubmatch in Waalwijk 21-9-2008.
Pippi is from Denis de Scampy x Trendmakers Irresisteble Swetheart.

4-7-2008: The first day of the World Dog Show and Circuitshows. 3 days in a row with about the same dogs, many and of high quality, and different judges every day. Etoile takes another glorious win and becomes Best of Breed thanks to judge Jim Nolan.

On day 2 Etoile becomes 4th in champions class, at the World Dog Show she scores an excellent.

The journey from and to Stockholm, our stay at the "campingplace" and the adventures at the showgrounds made this trip an unforgetable one !!

Judges Mrs. S. Cuthbert, Mrs. E. Rautala - champions class Mrs. P. Razera-Brulin

Etoile is a remarkable, once in a lifetime labrador. Today she won the NLV Clubmatch and the titel "Clubwinner 2008". Winning for the third time in a row! More than 500 labradors were present today. We can not express how special she is with just words.

After being best of breed in Wijchen 16.12.2007 and gaining his first full point for the Dutch Championship title it took a while before Storm really got the momentum. From the 25th of May (Bennekom, Gundog Show) on through Hulten at the 15th of June and today at the clubmatch, Storm gained another 4 full points in only 28 days, to become Dutch Champion with 5 1/4 points. It was a delight to see him compete against Etoile for best of breed today. They both looked so marvelous !!

Etoile herself was very proud today, as we were too, at her excellent offspring:

Mum Etoile and the above whole litter also won the litter class
Judge Mrs. P. Razera-Brulin
