About Us

Fenwyck Labradors is a small hobby kennel  located in Colonial Virginia.

In 1987, I started with my first Labrador, Maggie and was immediately hooked!  Like almost everyone else in the breed, my first dog was most definitely not a show dog but had the Labrador temperament in spades.  Once I made the decision to get into the show ring I was fortunate to have some wonderful people take me under their wings and share their knowledge and love of the breed.  Among all of those to whom I will forever be grateful, a few are: Annie Cogo/Windfall Labradors, Sally Bell/Borador Labradors, Claire Senfield /Allegheny Labradors, Laura Reich/Lor-al Labradors, Nancy Chargo/Banner Labradors, Mary Wiest/Beechcroft Labradors,and Pauline Mortier/Lubberline Labradors.  They shared not only their knowledge but some lovely dogs with me; without their guidance and patience, there would be no Fenwyck.

Fenwyck strives to produce the triple purpose Labrador: a dog who can compete in the field, in the obedience ring, and in the conformation ring.  Fenwyck also strives to breed a sound dog who meets the AKC standard for the Labrador Retriever and whose temperament is not only biddable but who has a high drive to please.

Fenwyck produces all three AKC recognized colors - Black , Yellow and Chocolate

Because we are a small niche hobby kennel, we only have 1-2 litters a year.  The only reason we breed is to keep a puppy or two to carry on our lines and to show and compete with.  In 2002, I helped found Gretsal Labradors in Georgia, with the placement of Fenwyck's Cedar Gratitude.  It gives me great pleasure to share with others my love of Labradors.
