On The Bluff Labradors
Our Story:

My husband and I live on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River in Upstate, New York. All of our dogs at
On The Bluff Labradors, share our home with us. Our puppies, too, are all born in the house. We are
fortunate to have 23 acres for our dogs to run, play and just roll around on. Working from home affords
us the pleasure of spending the majority of the day in the company of our cherished Labradors.

We purchased our first Labrador in 1971. Grizzly , a black Lab from field champions won our hearts
immediately. For 37 years we have never been without the companionship and love of this terrific
breed. There is always a smile in our house. Maybe the happiness of our 37 year marriage has
something to do with the lab temperament; their calmness, patience, understanding, loyalty, warmth
and intelligence. There really is a lot one can learn from living with these amazing dogs. When our son
was born, we discovered yet another wonderful Lab trait. They are great with kids. No matter what our
son did (including once sticking a pencil into our dog’s ear,) they never  growled at him or even so
much as lifted a lip. They never moved from his side. They felt their job was to protect and love him and
they took their job very seriously.

We are proud to announce the addition of our new sire: Valhalla's Tom Sawyer whose father and great
grand father were Best of Breed at Westminster. We feel very fortunate to be a part of these champion
lines and the sires and dams that are greatly influencing the future of this breed.

Our goal at On The Bluff Labradors is to breed a Labrador Retriever that is beautiful to look at, easy to
live with and possesses those traits that make them the natural companions for the family, for the show
ring and/or for the hunting ground.
