Breeding dogs that conform to the standards and do what they are bred to do. Cameron Mtn Labradors is located at the base of Cameron Mountain just outside of the town of Gordonsville, a short drive from the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. Cameron Mtn Labradors is a serious hobby kennel emphasizing the breeding of healthy, handsome Labradors that come from a long line of show, hunt and obedience

titled dogs. Our Labradors, with their beautiful heads and calm temperaments, are ideal for hunting and family companions while being bred to conform to the breed standard. We are currently participating in conformation shows which judge for temperament and classic good looks as we enjoy the hunting season. This love affair with dogs began early, Becky’s earliest memory is of a big black lab named Inky giving her a wet sloppy kiss, she was in love, she was three. When Becky was 7 years old and her parents purchased a very poor quality purebred miniature poodle for a family pet. At an early age Becky began obedience training with “Pups” and achieved an AKC Companion Dog (CD) title on “Pups”. She desired more and was rewarded with a German Shorthair Pointer (Rainy) to show in Junior Showmanship and Conformation classes as well as another miniature poodle (Lady) with show potential, all before graduating high school. During high school Becky worked at the home of AKC BIS Judge Jean Fournier caring for her kennel of Siberian Huskies as well as working at a local animal hospital. It was also at this time that she became involved with the Farmington Valley Kennel Club and was featured on a monthly radio program about dogs in Hartford, CT . Becky went on to Colgate University earning a degree in Economics and then to the University of Hartford for a MS in Tax Accounting, eventually becoming a Certified Public Accountant. Becky and Marc Hofmann, a Nuclear Engineer, were married and living in Connecticut when they acquired first one, and then a second Brittany. They became active in showing and participating in AKC conformation classes, hunt tests as well as the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association. They competed, hunted, and showed until their own litter grew to two boys and they relocated to central Virginia. They proceeded to breed several litters of Brittanies, with a puppy from each of two litters going to Turkey, perhaps some of the first Brittanies to be imported there. The addition of twin daughters to their family of four halted the showing and breeding as they raised their children and enjoyed the Brittanys as family and hunting companions. Along the way they acquired a neighbor’s poorly bred black Labrador Retriever and fell in love with a breed that was mellower than field trained Brittanys. As the children grew, and the Brittanys aged, Becky and Marc decided that their hearts were wrapped up in Labradors, a breed more suitable to the fantastic goose hunting available in Virginia. In 2011 they acquired their first Labrador, seeking out a puppy that would have the potential to do it all, to compete in the show ring, retrieve the goose from across the pond and to have the potential for obedience involvement. Our dogs are proven to be all of that and more. Our goal is to build upon the foundation, to breed Labradors and Brittanys which conform to the AKC standard, who succeed in the show ring as well as, retrieve the goose or duck from 300 yards across the pond, or the grouse and woodcock from the North Woods of Maine.

Make a plan now for July 4th. A way to secure your dogs should they become upset, order something from your vet if they are high anxiety. Do it today!

Chip bags are very dangerous

Sadly, this heartbroken family lost their beautiful 7 year old Border Collie named Kindle on Wednesday when she suffocated in a chip bag. Wendy Jordan, a professional dog trainer, says, "I can’t write now. It’s too raw. I have warned people for years about Pet Suffocation. I’m a dog trainer/business owner by profession. And today, because I left a chip bag on a table, in an area I thought the dogs didn't have access to but knew they sometimes could get through, my best dog of my pack is gone. She opened the gate to the deck, went up the steps, got the chip bag, took it down the steps, even spilling some of the chips, and then somehow accessed the inside and suffocated. She was right beside my gate where she is used to entering and exiting the yard. I’m devastated. I may never buy a bag of chips again. I used to worry about this when my kids were young, and I warned my kids when they left home with their dogs, and yet one freak accident, and I’m the one it happens to."

Even though someone may already know about pet suffocation and take all safety precautions, accidents can still happen. We can only do our best. Kindle was a very determined pup. Her story will help save other pets from this happening to them. Please help us spread awareness. Thank you.

I know sometimes people are looking for all the fun without all the work of a puppy. Here she is!

I have a 17 month old girl to place. She is easy going and gets along great with others. She is housebroken, crate trained and good on a leash.
