Welcome to Imagine Labradors

I invite you to come in and meet the Labradors that have been, or are part of our lives. Morsel was our first Labrador. A chocolate beauty that we shall never forget. Maggie, our yellow girl, joined our family shortly after losing Morsel. Nessa, our newest addition, is our black girl and our first show prospect.

Our involvement with the Labrador Retriever began with Morsel. She was the family pet, baby sitter, confidant, swimming buddy, and our best friend. With Maggie, my involvement stepped up a notch. Maggie and I enrolled in basic obedience class and Maggie graduated as an AKC Canine Good Citizen. What a proud day that was! Deciding to become more active in the breed, I joined the High Desert Labrador Retriever Club of Ca., Inc. and soon found myself on the Board serving as Secretary.

In early 1999, we volunteered as a foster family for Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue, Inc.. Although no longer fostering homeless Labradors, I try to remain active in other aspects of rescue. Besides fostering homeless Labradors, I also represent families interested in adopting, represent Labradors whose families find it necessary to rehome them, volunteer at adoption events, join charity dog walks, and generally assist the efforts of this group whenever I can. This has proven to be a very rewarding and fulfilling endeavor.

In September, 1999, I waited rather impatiently at the aiport for the arrival of little Nessa. We have so many hopes and dreams wrapped up in this girl. Nessa is living up to our expectations in both the conformation ring and as a loveable companion. I am new to the show ring and together, Nessa and I are having a blast learning the ropes and are enjoying some success as well.

In July, 2001, we embarked on a new adventure, that of Junior Showmanship. Juniors offers children the opportunity to compete with others of their own age in various AKC events. In Junior Showmanship, they are judged on how they present their dog. Our eldest daughter made her debut in the ring at a German Shorthaired Pointer Specialty Show when she was 10 years old. Her younger sister is anxiously awaiting her 10th birthday in January 2003, so that she can begin competing in the Juniors ring.

Continuing to expand my horizons in the Labrador community, I became a Board Member of Labrador Life Line, Inc. in June, 2002. Labrador Life Line, Inc. is a not for profit 501(c)3 organization created to help owners or rescuers of Labrador Retrievers who are in need of financial assistance. I am enjoying this new challenge in my life, and am in awe of the small group of volunteers who devote so much time and energy into helping Labradors in need.

Thank you for visiting Imagine Labradors. I hope you enjoy your stay.
