It’s not often you get a hand-me-down dog toy that lasts through the various pups!

From memory, this wobbler first belonged to a friends pup, then was handed down to the labs to love before they lost it in the bush.

Miss Margot found it today on her adventures so we gave it a clean up and now it’s hers to enjoy ❤️

A year…

We tried to re-create some photos from Margot’s first week with us now that she’s a big one year old - we were honestly crying with laughter. Some attempts are better than others but we learnt a few things…

1. She’s much much heavier a year later. Ask Brady’s poor back.

2. She’s grown from our cute naïve pup into a confident and oh so bratty, and sometimes even a little bolshy, teenager but I’m so here for it! She brings so much entertainment and joy.

3. My porch trees died over a year ago, and I should probably chuck them out already - please, nobody buy me plants.

Cheers to the first year 🍻

And yes, we’re cracking a cool beer with our dogs on a Friday night! Family night down the river followed by pizza and beer - these girls have a rough life 😆

And on her first birthday, we finally have a swimmer!

We still need the security blanket of sister Addison across the river, but we’re a water fiend - even cried as we drove away!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS MARGOT! 🌸

Our baby bear is ONE! Birthdays are a new concept to her, but she was more than happy to help out by scoffing cake and ripping open presents, topped off by chasing bubbles!

We love you Margot Blake 💕

Rumour has it, we have a first birthday coming up later this week so it’s time to start creating the next cake!

Woke up to some great news from Australia this morning!

Our baby Brontë (Carlin Bunny Willoughby | Easter litter) has had her radiograph scores come back with a 0-0 elbows, 1-0 hips! Her PennHIP score came in well under the breed average and in the lower percentiles also!

Dam: Carlin Dazzling Diamond

Love that’s it’s completely made of metal so it’s chew proof and won’t harbour nasty bacteria!

I was talking with someone the other day and they said “yeah, apparently your dogs have really good recall!” 😅 no pressure lol - so here’s a little snippet of something I’ve been doing with our girls. Going for a walk around the property and calling them back one by one in a random order, they come, sit, get their treat and then can ‘go play’ again straight away which is super important to practise if they know you usually only recall them when you want to leave or put them away so they don’t wanna come back. #recall #practisenotperfection #training #dogtraining #recalltraining #labradorretriever #newfoundland

When you’re late to feed the labs so they hit the orchard 🤦🏼‍♀️ even bird netting doesn’t stop this girl from picking her own 🍎🍐 #pyo #orchard #pickyourown #breakfast #naughtydog #labrador #labradorretriever #yellowlab #blacklab #labradorlove #rurallife

Reunited with one of her favourite people after 10 months! That excited squeal 😆 #favouriteperson #lovesheraunty #aunt #shesback #happydog #exciteddog #labrador #happylab

Addison’s here for the summer belly flops! ☀️ #summervibes #summer #swimlife #bellyflop #waterbaby #labrador #labradorretriever #blacklabrador

This is why Addison is fat 🙄 when I’m on holiday next week I get to add another door to the chicken run - one that lets the chickens in and out, but stops a Labrador! #chickenscraplife #buffet #allyoucaneat #naughtydog #labrador #sheknows

Open show group line up with Addison 🖤

Anyone else struggle to wash a vehicle with two pesky water mad labs around? 💦 #waterbabies #waterdogs #maddog #crazy #nothelping #labradorretriever

Probably the most useless trick in the book, but it keeps us all entertained! 😆 #trick #tongue #tongueout #blacklabrador #blacklab #blacklabsofinstagram @frogrecruitment @PETstock_nz @royalcaninanz #NZTOPDOG

Never thoughts I’d see snow in the Wairarapa on September! #labrador #labradorretriever #labradorlove #blacklab #blacklabrador #snow #snowdog #snowfall #cold

Almost too fat to get in the chicken coop and eat all the eggs that are making her fat, tough life. Don’t worry, we’re making the door smaller today - we actually like eating the eggs too but Addison’s been selfish lately and scoffing them all 🤦🏼‍♀️ #labrador #labradorretriever #blacklabrador #fatty #fatgirl #egg #backyardchickens #rurallife #helpsherself

Penelope’s favourite outside job - supervising the lawn mowing 😆 #labrador #labradorretriever #yellowlabrador #chores #supervisor #lawncare #lawnmaintenance #lawn #lawnmowing #mower

Carlin is dedicated to producing top quality Labradors that are of good health and temperament. All of our breeding dogs are health tested, including hip & elbow x-rays, DNA screening & eye examinations. All puppies are registered with Dogs New Zealand (formerly NZKC).

Our dogs are much loved members of the family and a treasured part of our lives. They grow up in a family environment and our puppies are well socialised, ready to join their new families.

I love keeping in touch with my puppies new families and getting updates about how they’re growing up as well as organising days out where all Carlin dogs can come together!
