I am indebted to my great friend Barbara Toner and her late husband Graham for allowing me to share her beautiful dogs. Seamus has lived with us since he was a month out of quarantine. Kim spends time between us both, while we now have the beautifully bred Brig who most times lives with Kate, Adrian, Chelsea and Josh.

Graebar Labradors have been committed to importing beautiful English Labradors for more than 3 decades and have brought out some absolutely stunning dogs. We got to know Graham and Barb through the Labrador Retriever Club of Vic in the 1980's, then used their lovely import "Jack" - Poolstead Pleasant Thought (Imp UK) over Molly - Rodorbal Errant Melody. All our current dogs come down this line through Molly's daughter Cookie (Rodorbal Quite Contrary) and her daughters Maya (Ch Rodorbal Quite Amazing) = Dylan (Ch Rodorbal Slipry Downundr AI), Sam (Rodorbal Quite A Gem) and Paris (Ch Rodorbal On The Catwalk) and Tilly (Rodorbal Quite A Matilda) = Sally (Ch Hinampk Winstons Melody).

Barb continues breeding english type Labradors using imports on her girls or semen obtained from overseas and is one of few Australian breeders who can say their kennel consists only of imports in their breeding program. Some of these dogs have been: Foxrush Rather Cute, Poolstead Pleasant Thought, Foulby Black Diamond, Trewinnard Tea Rose and Tollcross Mermaid.
