We raise and preserve the British Labrador Retriever that specifically is Sandyland linebred to preserve our favorite pedigree and type of labrador. Our Labradors favor more to the UK standard even though AKC registered since it is primarily an old time imported line we are trying to maintain through careful planned out-crossings and line-breedings. We have not had a litter since December of 2018

and as of now, we don't foresee anything for another 2-3 years. Fortunately, this time line has not been a hinderance due to the pandemic. We hope to carry on our line through our foundation bitch's granddaughter when the time comes. Our foundation bitch was Starquest Enchantress Of Moonlight Drive and our foundation sire was JMJ's Purple Reign. Their son produced a female that we look forward to at some pointing carrying on our x chromosome that is from a Sandyland Gaddabout son linebreeding (Lenche's Gallivant). We have a private facebook group for those with puppies already from us and those that wish to acquire one.

Our son had his first Junior Showmanship opportunity yesterday and took home "Best Junior". All the kids were sweet and all were deserving of such title. It was a first time show for some of the kids including our son who handled a friend's Tibetan Spaniel. 🥰

Shadow has a fun Spring planned for some "events"...

2/22 (Saturday) our first "APRI" show. It's three shows in one day and the structure is similar to IABCA where the dog is measured up to the standard only and is given points. Not really sure honestly but it gives us some "real life" practice before the big AKC show two weeks later.

3/6-9 AKC Kansas City Dog shows - American Royal stadium - come on out! It's a good time

April - AKC Jesse James shows in Lawrence Kansas

May - UKC - Midwest Fanciers Club (Missouri )

June - IABCA - St. Louis

July - NEBRASKA

**If all goes as prayed and hoped for - possibly a bunch of fluff balls will be in the picture, come fall/winter 2025 or early 2026**

Things are slowly falling into place - - ducks are starting to line up in the order I need them to go. Hoping for a puppy breath late the end of this year or early 2026 out of Shadow.

I'll be acquiring the Special Lady later this spring before we move to Nebraska /Iowa area.

She should cycle later this fall.

Here is Shadow doing scent discrimination work last night. He had not done it since summer 2024. He was flawless! Did it twice and always found what was hidden. 😁

First time letting him go in partially iced over creek bed to retrieve - joints are set and passed so activity options are broadening

Randomly and unplanned found a photo in my fb feed of Shadow's father, a pup out of our Dec 2018 litter. He was originally going to be my one and only keeper from it. Obviously - that's not how things went but fitting that his son is going to be our new leading man for our future and hopeful Breeding plans.

I guess I had my pick down right, as this pup is the father now of a multiple Champion titled, group Placer(s) and performance titled son. 🖤🥰

Shadow's father currently lives in Nebraska - where we will be moving to!

We are MOVING!

Hopefully by end of this year or early 2026, we will have Shadow's progeny being born to us. 🙏🙏🙏🥰❤️😊

Nala - looking radiant at age 7! She and her siblings turn 8 years old in May!! Wild how fast time flies.

If the home market is looking good, hopefully will be moving and raising Labradors again out of her nephew Shadow who is a U-Ch and International Champion with multiple performers titles on his "resume".

If you have a Zene Prince Pup from us, Max raised your dog from day 1 of birth. He was in with them in the whelping box post birth, every day. Once moved to the kennel run, he was in daily playing with them and helping with care. He is almost 12 years old now. Time is flying by too fast. Hopefully this spring, he will enter in his first Junior Showmanship dog shows with our friend's pug Dash. #AKC #UKC #juniorshowmanship #thenextgeneration

My son captured the moment we were awarded our 3rd of 3 needed competition wins to earn our Championship title in UKC. We had a repeat in show #2 following. Back to Back Group 4s. Our very first group placements. Forever grateful to Judges Brenda & Jennifer Landers

We were at Purina Farms this past weekend. He can be silly at times but the business cap goes on when we step into the ring. He performed like a true showman 💯🤩

September 18th 2023 was a great day. One of the best days. Prince /Zena grandson came home. He was an adorable puppy that took my breath away when he photo bombed a video clip a week before we were due to take his sister home. And the rest is history. 🥰 Zeniths All Hail Shadow FTN

Much needed bath #akc #labradorretriever #labrador #blacklab

He has his grandpa Prince's athleticism 😍 Bro' got same springs attached to those paws 😅😁😎🐾🐾🐾🐾 We will be in Lawrence KS end of this coming week and next weekend for some fun at the Emporia & Jesse James dog show circuit. Local to Lawrence? Come on out and visit! 😊

Happy National Puppy Day

Labrador breeding stock should be shown in working condition.... (Yes, he's young at almost 8 months old which is why he gets DAILY to support joint growth: glucosamine /chondroitin, collagen, turmeric and boswellia serrata resin extract)

Our Story

Welcome to our gallery of our Labrador Retrievers! We are formerly known as Skyhaven Labradors but after our matriarch passed away in an untimely fashion, we decided to rename ourselves, Zenith Labrador Retrievers, in her honor. Forever our beloved Warrior Princess: Zena.

We continue her bloodline through her sons, daughters and her nephew. Her nephew (Zeus) is currently our future leading man. He is having fun in the show ring currently. We look forward to his male descendants on occasion to keep our line of Labradors going.

Occasionally we may have Labrador Retrievers available for families and hunting companions. Our focus is striving for solid temperament, sound structure and strong retrieval drive if we do. We strive to maintain the original "gentleman's hunting dog" type if we do have a planned litter. You can contact us here through our page's message service or: [email protected]
