Blackthorn Home Page
Welcome to Blackthorn Labradors. We are located
just south of Olympia, the capital of Washington which is known as the "Evergreen" state.
We have been busy over the last 40+ years showing, training, hunting,
obedience trialing, breeding, judging and loving our Labradors.
Being the only Charter Member still active in the Rose City Labrador
Retriever Club, I have held
almost
every position in the RCLRC, and also enjoy being a member of the Puget
Sound Labrador Retriever Association and the National Labrador Retriever
Club, Inc.
All of our breeding program today is based on our
legendary Multi Best In Specialty Show Am. Can. Ch. Monarch's
Black Arrogance, CD, WC, who was a very special dog of notable
influence
... not only in our breeding program, but in breeding programs of
numerous others around the world.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our website and the opportunity to meet
our dogs, and to take a peek at our gardens along the way.
Barbara and Robert Gilchrist
