Fishersgate Labradors is a small family kennel now owned solely by Sarah. My late husband and I brought our foundation bitches from the UK in 2003 when we moved to Hawkes Bay. Our aim has always been to breed labradors with sound temperaments, true to type conformation and loyal, loving natures. Our labradors are primarily pets who share my life but our puppies are now living in the UK, Australia and across New Zealand. Fishersgate Labradors are versatile, multi-purpose dogs with lots to offer.
For a number of generations we bred chocolate labs but in 2013 added a wonderful black bitch to our family. Blackhills Faith for Fishersgate (Jet) is from our own bloodlines through a bitch that Blackhills Labradors had from us. Coupled with the wonderful bloodlines of Lars, (Kropsmarken Simply The Best) she is very much part of our family. Her grand daughter Fishersgate Carnival Girl (Rio) is our other black bitch, her sire Blackhills Star David is Yellow so Rio carries the yellow gene. Rio was mated in April 2021 to Willowspring Shadow Hunter and a litter was born in early June 2021. We have kept a yellow bitch from this litter and she is our future for sure.
We love to take photos of our dogs so please enjoy the gallery images. They should give you a flavour of what our dogs and puppies are like.
