It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of David Cooper on the 20th June.  He was one of our founding members with his sound knowledge and love of labradors.    David and his late wife June were part of the original co-ordinating team, and until his ill health prevailed was an active hard working Trustee.

The Charity owes him a great deal, and we send sincere condolences to his family at this very sad time.

Sheila Stevens

It is with very great sadness that we must bring you the news that our
Trustee and founder member of the charity, Sheila Stevens passed away on the 18th April 2024.
For all who knew her and were in contact with her, this is undoubtedly a shock as she had been an active member of the charity right up until the end.
When the charity was set up in 1996, Sheila co-ordinated a huge area with help from many who knew her and shared her passion.
Sheila was passionate about the welfare of labradors and actively helped set up the guidelines and working practice of the charity which we work to today.  She was loyal, honest, extremely kind and if you were privileged, as I was, to call her your friend: the very best friend you could have.   She will be so missed by the many who used to call and seek her advice, have a friendly chat, or just talk labradors
The Charity has been so fortunate to have benefitted from her wealth of knowledge, common sense and commitment over the years, and we will all feel her loss greatly.
Our condolences go to her family Mark, Wendy, Thomas and Sarah at this very sad time
