PEDIGREE

Piper is proving herself to be a consistent winner in the conformation ring. She is a true example of a typical labrador with a stunning head, great otter tail and a wonderful coat.

She is following in her father's footsteps, Aust Grand Ch Driftway Magnetic Storm, with her winning ways.

Pups from Piper's first litter have done very well in the show ring. The brother and sister team from this litter, Aust Ch Kirkdell Destiny and Aust Ch Kirkdell Endeavour, are enjoying their time in the showring.

Piper’s second litter is a repeat mating of Destiny and Endeavour and we look forward to continuing success with Kirkdell Déjà vu and Kirkdell Vindication, both of whom have achieved multiple Baby Puppy in Group wins.
