 Kelrobin
prides itself in breeding "All-Purpose" Labrador
Retrievers. This means my Labs are of a more moderate "type"
which is at home in the ring or field. We believe that the
Labrador should remain a retriever and therefore retain the
athleticism that allows the Lab to do what it is bred for......RETRIEVE.
I enjoy showing
in conformation, obedience, agility, retriever field events,
also having participated in tracking and therapy work. My
dogs have earned numerous titles in these competitions, all
owner (or non-professionally) handled. I mostly just enjoy
my Labs as pets.
 Named
for my first two home-bred champions, Can. CH. UCDX, Woodhaven
Amber Silk, CD, WC, CGC, TDI, Can. CDX, WC (Kelly - left)
and her daughter, Can. CH. UCD, Woodhaven Silk-N-Silver,
CD, WC, WCX, JH, CGC, Can. CD, WC (Robin - right) I have
been showing and breeding Labradors since 1974.
Kelrobin is located
near Grand Blanc, Michigan.
| About
Kelrobin and the dogs: |
|
First and foremost, my dogs are family
members. They live in the house as part
of my family. I do not have kennels.
While I know some dogs do ok in kennels, I prefer
to have my dogs inside with me. Yep, dog
hair is part of the decor, but what's a few
dog hairs between friends?
 We
aren't house-proud. If we were, we wouldn't
abide the scratches on the door frame, the holes
in the screen, the darkened shine of worn spots
on the chair. We would wince at the mottled
carpet and fret at the hair clinging to our
clothes.
We don't.
If anything, we lovers of dogs are a tolerant
lot, finding greater value in the unabashed
affection of our friends than in the immaculate
sofas. Shoes can be replaced, but heroic
retrievers are timeless.
 Without
dogs, our houses are cold receptacles for things.
Dogs make a fire warmer with their curled presence.
They wake us, greet us, protect us and ultimately
carve a place in our hearts and our history.
On reflection, our lives are often referenced
in parts defined by the all-too-short lives
of our dogs. -- Paul Fersen
