CHESTNUTS LABS2LOVE IS A SMALL, EXPERIENCED HOBBY Breeder LOCATED IN SOUTHERN NH. OUR LABS ARE ALL ENGLISH CHAMPION PEDIGREED! WE ARE DEDICATED TO OUR LOVING LABRADOR FAMILY. Rosie and Stoney had their beautiful yellow litter on June 11,2009. We have 5 yellow girls and 2 yellow boys. This is a repeat breeding. These pups will be as the last litter, a nicer lab pup you will not find. The pups are handled from birth and are very people our oriented. They will be very socialized when they leave our home to go to yours. The pups are raised in the home with mom and their aunts and uncles as well as our family of 4 loving children and mom and dad. Stoney AKA Chablais Antonio Gaudi,the sire is also part of our labrador family and lives in the house as one of our family members. If interested in a pup from this litter of beautiful mellow labs, please email jennrobinson@comcast.net via the "application for pup page" or call Jenn AT 603-235-0709 OR 483-0893.If you fill out the application we will call or email you after going over the application. We are not a kennel and definitely not a store. We are a family of 4 Labradors and this is my home as well as my labs home. Visits are welcome once you are semi-approved for a puppy. I never ship my pups and do make in home visits from time to time, just to check on the welfare of my puppies. Chestnuts Charming CarmaBella,aka,Carly x Chablais Antonio Gaudi aka Stoney sired one baby, a boy, Chestnuts Tucker Jack. Carly had her baby on August 7, 2008. She had only one baby, a boy..He is with a lovely family, this is their second Chestnut Lab and Tucker is enjoying his life with his lovely family. Carly at 7 weeks old, what a beautiful baby! Finnegan is her dad and Cello is her mom!
Carly grows up!
Carly at 13 months old, such a sweet girl! Cindy x Camper are the parents of Cello. Cindy is from Cedarwood Labs in Maine and was my first chocolate girl. Another of my foundation girls was my beautiful Cedarwood Chestnut Shiloh whom I bred to Integrity Captain Percival and that is how I created my beautiful Black boy Finnegan who is Carly's dad as well as Sailor's dad. Shiloh is also the g.g.grandmother of Rosie and my first yellow female, Naiad Chestnutbelle who would be over 20 years old now, if they only lived that long. Chestnutbelle is the g.g.g.grandmother of Rosie, Our newest addition, Chestnuts Shamrock Fergus of Whipowil also goes back to my first lab, Chestnut over 25 years ago...Fergus is a beautiful black boy, born June 23, 2008 and lives with my daughter and grandchildren, just 10 miles away with Finnegan and Finnula. Finnula is also a combination of Chestnut, Camper, Shiloh, another beautiful lab, Bred by Beverly from Whipowil Labs in Maine. Her foundation female has the same sire as my Naiaid Chestnutbelle, she has been breeding since the 70's, I did not start until the 80's.

Hope to repeat this breeding in the Spring of 2009! Ciecie, Rosie's mom, is CH. Windfall's Black Piper, W.C. and CH. Dickendall Arnold, son of CH. Dickendall's Ruffy SH, granddaughter. CH. Windfall's Win Storm, JH is her greatgrandma, Storm is CH. Beechcrofts Citadel and CH. Tabatha's Windfall Abbey JH very well known daughter, excellent producer of champion pups. Our Shiloh is her grandma, another beautiful lab from Champion show labs. Chestnutbelle is her g.g. grandma and our beloved Camper is her g.g.grandpa. All of our labs are wonderful example of the labrador breed. I love the look and temperament of the original lab and will do my best to continue keeping the breed as close to perfect as can be done! Chestnutbelle whom I lost Jan 1, 2004 from medication complications and old age I dedicate this site to you..My Chess was almost 15 years old when I said good bye. She had a wonderful life and her memory and spirit live on as well as her gene pool from which I will always breed. Chablais Antonio Gaudi, aka, Stoney is a show dog but I have not shown him. Stoney had seven beautiful pups with Rosie and one pup with Carly. We needed some new bloodlines and I wanted my Sandyland lines that Chestnut has and I was lucky to find Stoney. My next girl I will breed is Carly, late Dec/Jan 2009. Sadie's dad has been at the Westminster dog show 3 years in a row. He is a beautiful black, CH. Saltmeadow Dickens at Cedarbay! Rosie is Chestnuts and Shilohs great granddaughter. Rosie had 7 beautiful yellow pups on April 25 with Stoney as the dad. Carly is my beautiful yellow girl whose parents are Camper x Cindy's,Chestnuts Mello Cello. Cello is chocolate and Carly's dad is our Black boy Finnegan. Finn and Cello have had many lovely pups through the years, Cello is retired and is now 9 years old and Finnegan is still going strong and producing beautiful litters. Ciecie is also 9 years old, spayed and enjoying her retirement with us. I have her daughter Rosie to continue my Chestnuts lines. My labs have always been very healthy and beautiful so I will continue breeding my lovely labs.
Information on Stoney x Rosie parentage! Chablais Antonio Gaudi (Y), aka, Stoney, parents are CH Chablais Ouzo (Y) x Ch. Chablais Opale (Y) "Opale". Sadie's dad is the black boy American CH Saltmeadow Dickens At Cedarbay. Her mom is a chocolate Cedarwood's Casey, WC, RN
This is our beautiful Cedarwood Chestnut Sable Sadie. We bred Sadie to Sailor in Oct and the all black pups are due Dec. 20, 2008! Sharon took this picture and it is perfect picture of our Sadie Girl!
Now for our beautiful Chestnutbelle Yellow Rose of Serenity who had pups with our lovely Stoney on April 25, all yellows in this litter. She is our 6th and 7th generation of beautiful labradors.
Rosie, what a sweet face. She just says it all. She is so sweet, she thinks she is a person and we can not tell her otherwise.
This is what our Rosie looked like as a baby and except for getting bigger is stilll just as sweet as always..Her and Stoney had perfect yellow labrador retriever pups, April 25, 2008. Read on about the gorgeous Stoney!
Stoney's mother Opale's mom is the famous Multi BISS. Am. Can. Champion Chablais Olivia "Olive". Chablais Antonio Gaudi is line-bred on that lovely mother side and therefore the famous Olivia is also the mother of Ch.Chablais Ouzo. Being linebred on this mother's side, you can not ask for a better breeding. Stoney has sired 2 gorgeous litters for Chablais Labradors but they are downsizing the number of their labs and I was very fortunate to be able to add Stoney and his superb pedigree to my wonderful labradors. Temperament, beauty and brains with the ability to work for you, whether as a therapy dog or a hunter and of course a loving family member is what I strive for in my breedings. With our new addition of the old original labrador lines such as my favorite and original from England Sandylands and Tawastway's and Stronglines, from Finland we are expecting some beautiful,healthy intelligent labrador pups in the near future. OFA information on our new boy If you would like any of the OFA, AKC information please contact me via email. ! Stoney is available to be bred with only the best girls who live with loving, caring breeders. Hip and eye clearances please. For more information please contact me by email if you would like to be considered to have our Stoney sire your litter or get a copy of his pedigree, which is quite impressive! He does not carry chocolate. His eyes are cerf'd and cleared to April 2008..His dad is Optigen A and his mom's mom is as well as a few of his littermates. This makes him Optigen clear by parentage! CHABLAIS ANTONIO GAUDI "aka" Stoney
These are some pictures of our new boy, CHABLAIS ANTONIO GAUDI, AKA "Stoney"
Stoney's beautiful face! Please email me if you would like to be considered for one of our lab pups. Fill out the application in this website and I will notify you when the pups are born..

Next to yellow Carly is her chocolate mom, Cello and Sadie, our black girl is next to Ciecie, Rosie's mom. Sailor is our black boy in the picture.
We lost our beloved Cindy on April 20, 2007. She was almost 14 years old. She passed on to Rainbow Bridge on Campers Birthday... We just lost our lovely Chestnuts Shawneebelle on Oct. 20, 2008. She had several beautiful litters, and is missed dearly. We are grateful for the 12 years we had with her and having her son, Sailor and daughter, Ciecie and now her granddaughter Rosie. Shawneebelle stil lives on in our hearts and out labs forever. Our labs are very intelligent, beautiful and easily trained. They are raised with lots of love...Laid back labs, not field labs but could be excellent week-end hunters...Our Sailor is a son of Finnegan from Shiloh and Percy. Percy is a son of CH. Lindall Mastercraft. Lindall Mastercraft is also Cello's g.g.g.grandpa. He was a magnificent labrador who contributed some wonderful genes to the labrador world. It is hard to find a pedigree without him or his brother in it. They are both from England. Mastercraft is pictured below...He is also in our new boy Chablais Antonio Gaudi's pedigree! Out Stoney's grandpa on the mom's side is a Finland Import, Can. CH.Tawastway's Paw Print. He is pictured along with his grandparents everywhere you look for a nice labrador! Best of all I am back in my Sandyland's lines which to me are the best of the best.
World Champion Lindall Mastercraft, g. grandfather of Spencer, Carly and Sailor. Cedarwood Chestnuts SableSadie comes from excellent lines and is a beautiful black girl. We bred our Sadie x Sailor in Oct of 2008. Expecting a beautiful black litter from these 2 wonderful labradors on or about Dec. 20, 2008! Spencer and Carly have very nice pedigrees as do Sadie , Sailor and Rosie. Spencer, Sailor and Carly's grandparents are Shiloh x Percy, which gave us Finnegan, Percy is a Lindall Mastercraft son and Cindy x Camper, who gave us our Little Mello Cello. Shiloh who lived with us until passing on at the age of 12 1/2 was a beautiful, kind labrador. Her parents are CH. West Wind Winchester, JH and CH Pine Edge Sunnybrook Pebbles. Percy's sire was the famous World CH. Lindall Mastercraft and his mom was Brandy Hill's Chocolate Bits. Cindy's parents Groveton Patent Pending and Cedarwood Sable Shadow who was also a Lindall Mastercraft daughter. Camper had all the heart and soul that went into the pups, not a wonderful pedigree but a lot more, a wonderful temperament, and the best most comical companion you could ask for..I feel very fortunate to have had Camper in my life as well as all of my labradors. They each do have different personalities but all my labs have always lived together in the house with us with not too much arguing There is a website I would like you all to look at it is called Puppy Mills, There is also lots of great information about vaccines, and dog food recalls..You should check this website out weekly if not daily to see what is happening in the dog world...It has all the latest on the rat poison in our pet food and the recall numbers of pigs ears, which I do not recommend anyway, but it is a wonderful site for information. http://www.dogsadversereactions.com/puppymills.html http://www.dogsadversereactions.com/ loaded with information from the FDA and all the recalls and lot numbers...
Carly, aka, Chestnuts Charming Carma Bella is pictured below at 58 days old, a joy to have with us. We have her grandma, Cindy, who is 13 1/2 years old and her mom, Cello who is 7 years old.

Camper is Carly's grandpa, what a handsome boy, we miss him so much! He is the grandpa of Carly, Sailor and Rosie and is very much a part of my breeding program. He had excellent OFA hip clearances and was a very healthy boy until leaving me due to hemagiosarcoma at the young age of 11 1/2..He had NO health problems and ran and played minutes before he collapsed and was rushed to the ER...Due to a bleeding disorder, DIC that goes with a ruptured spleen, they had to remove the spleen to TRY to save him, he did not make it..He past on in my arms in the vets office hours after transfusions and surgery. He lives on in my other labs and in my heart forever...I miss him everyday!

 I have some new pictures at the following album that where put in Feb.2007. Enjoy! I will be updated this album regularly.
Exceptional pups, as always with Chestnuts pups. Pups are professionally handled and raised with lots of love, kindness, and gentleness. The first 8 weeks are the most important weeks in your pups life, in regards to its relationship with humans. All experiences should be happy and positive! Labradors should start to be taught as soon as they are able to learn. Labs love a challenge. Training starts between 2-3 weeks of age and continues on for the rest of our days with them. You will be picking up right where I leave off. Training your lab is so much fun, as they love to please you, once they know what you want from them! Finnegan, pictured below, is the sire of Cello's beautiful litter. He is a Shiloh son and Ch.Lindall Mastercraft grandson. He is OFA good and has sired many beautiful litters. Finnegan at 7 years old, enjoying a swim and posing so pretty! Chestnuts Shamrock Finnegan, is such a beautiful, happy gentle soul just like his grandpa below!!

Puppy Retriever Training by Loveland & Rutherford
The Art of Raising a Puppy by The Monks of New Skete
What is a Backyard Breeder? Please check this website for more information on backyard breeders and puppymills, disguised as breeders. You must meet the mother of the pups and the pups should be born in the home and raised in the home for the first 5 weeks, at least. Someone should also be with the pups during this time as they need socialization from the day they are born. This is crucial for a well adjusted pup.
Of the 53 million dogs in the U.S., about two-thirds come from backyard breeders.
They are the single greatest cause of the pet overpopulation crisis in this country. The worst of the backyard breeders sometimes come to the attention of local animal
control authorities, who may negotiate with a breeder who is keeping dogs in truly deplorable conditions to release at least some of the dogs to a shelter.
Shelters then often turn to rescue groups, because they know that the dogs -- unsocialized, requiring more
medical care than most shelters can afford -- will have to be euthanized.
A backyard breeder is someone who keeps a number of dogs and either breeds them deliberately or just lets them breed. Backyard breeders may have a few dogs or many, one breed or several. They usually have no understanding of or concern about the breed standard, genetics, socializing the dogs, and maintaining their health. Don't confuse them with "hobby breeders," who breed small numbers of dogs and care for their dogs well. They frequently end up with too many dogs to care for properly. Backyard breeders get new dogs from a variety of sources, among them from ads offering dogs "free to good home". We are all saddened by the loss of our precious Grand Ole Dam, Shiloh. Shiloh, who was almost 13 years old, passed on May 30, 2006 and has joined Chestnut, Starr and Camper. Her son Chipper has gone to Rainbow Bridge also. He passed suddenly on, Sept. 21, 2006. He is with his mom, Shiloh and dad, Camper now. Shiloh lives on in our memories and 7 of our labs, our one year old, Rosie, is Shiloh's great granddaughter. Rosie is a lot like Shiloh. Carly are newest addition as of 2007 is also a Shiloh granddaughter. Thankfully Shiloh's passing was very peaceful, we are comforted knowing this. Chestnut, Camper, Shiloh and now our precious Cindy Lou are Angel Friends Forever. Young Chipper, Shiloh x Camper son, has left us to join his family at Rainbow Bridge. They are missed and will always be loved and live on forever in our hearts.
We celebrate their lives everyday. Our lives as well as many people would not be the same without thest three wonderful labradors that brought so much happiness to us as their babies have done the same to so many families over the past 18 years. We hope to continue producing beautiful labs for many years to come.
