We live in Calabria, in Scalea, a beautiful country on the seaside of the Tirrenian coast, that has as principal purpose the tourism.

We thought our live was then the normal life of two employees that, in the sparetime, loved to pass the time in a restauration activity begun from our family; but our life changed. It all begun when our sons asked for a puppy.

Our selection in this choose lead us to the Labrador Retriever, for his particular skills. At the beginning we were curious and surprised about our new puppy arrival, Fill, very pleasand and playful, then we begun to show him, just for curiosity, with some excellent result.

Now we dedicate our life to this breed since so much years; this passion involved all the family and pushed us to go always straight on, doing long travels and journeys on the show rings, both in Italy and abroad.

Some reached achievements are the following: from our first litter, we kept in our kennel the present Italian Champion Eric, that gifted us of so many satisfactions. In our kennel, also, we are proud of holding three Producer Champions, LENCHES Tandy, India and their daughter Donna Rachele FRIEND DEI DUE MARI. Then we can also be very proud about 3 Junior Warrants: Eric, FOXRUSH Blue Lavender and FOXRUSH Over The Moon.

Our FOXRUSH Blue Lavender is our kennel's title holder, having reached other important titles during her show career: Young of the Year 2006, Vice World Champion in Young Class 2006, European Champion 2008, Italian Show Champion, Best Italian Retrievers Club Bitch and Show Title 2008.

Also, to complete our satisfactions, recently one of our Italian Champion Eric sons, Lapo FRIEND DEI DUE MARI, gained his Junior Warrant title, with 8 different judges in National and International shows that agreed all together in confirming his qualities.

The great enthusiasm brought results also for our son Matteo, with a series of Junior Handling achievements, and he is very proud of this.

Our kennel, also, in the 2008, gained the Italian KC Top Labrador Breeder Trophy.

To evaluate and improve more and more our kennel, we imported very good dogs from England, so to breed for the best in this marvelous breed.
