We are registered breeders with the Dogs New South Wales, and past members of the Labrador Club of Qld. Study commitments and 2 daughters into horse showing limit our time for dog showing these days. Our aim has always been to breed quality puppies free from hereditary defects (our 12 year old daughter has human hip dysplasia and it it not a nice thing to go thru). All puppies are raised in a family environment and given the best possible start to life. We welcome visitors to our Kennels on the Mid North Coast of NSW 20 minutes south of Coffs Harbour, at Repton on the Bellinger River.

Kobelco Labradors was founded in 1993 with the purchase of Driftway Black Apollo (Saidi).Saidi was purchased as a pet to grow up with our young family, Unfortunately we lost Saidi early on in her life due to a freak accident.Before losing Saidi she produced an exceptional litter to Aust. Ch. Charmerla the Mallon (Richard), from this litter came our first homebred Australian Champion Kobelco Elizabeth. After a long wait we were then offered a pup from Southbank kennels. We obtained a lovely chocolate boy named Southbank Terracotta (Yoda). Not long after that a gorgeous girl named Charmela the Mabalis (Rosie) from the Charmela Kennels in Qld came to join us. A friend then invited me to a show, I caught "Dog People Disease" and the rest is history. We can now claim to have added to the gene pool of chocolate labradors in Australia by investing in the importation of Willowspring Obi Wan, with plans to also import more lines from the UK's top kennels.

All puppies are Dogs NSW registered (with limited registration papers- this means the animal can not be shown in confirmation shows and no progeny can be registered from the animal), we will transfer dogs to main register once they have passed necessary health tests. Our pups are raised with children from the minute they are born, have had vaccinations and come with one month of worming and frontline, and a lifetime of back up service. Our aim is always for the betterment of the breed, this is why we only breed with selected animals once or twice, to always produce litters that improve on what we have already. We only ever use animals that are within the breed standard in type, temperament and hip and elbow scoring. All of our breeding stock are also PRA clear by parentage.
