Who says labs aren't 'lap dogs'?

Kisses for 'Mum'.

I think he's taking this 'lap dog' thing, way too serious.

But...here's proof that Brian does get off his 'old chair'. That's Hazel helping out.

Actually everything here at Cooperslane, Brian has built.

....and they're right!

We have lots of fun here at Cooperslane. We have 50 acres situated 5 miles from the Luther Marsh which is very convenient for training our dogs. Our dogs also love the freedom of running and playing. And of course, swimming in their own 'puppy pond' on our property.

While we do have a kennel set-up, we rotate the dogs into the house with us daily. Every evening three dogs are brought in to spend the next 24 hours with us. This way we can enjoy them, they love the extra attention and they are also taught 'house manners'.

All expectant mothers are brought into the house 10 days before whelping to be catered to. The pups are born in the house and stay in until they are four weeks old. Then we move them to our heated kennel. There they are socialized in the busy atmosphere of the other dogs and visitors to the kennel.

If the need arises, we do offer boarding for all Cooperslane Puppies.

We are not open to the general public.

We have done some training here at Cooperslane for the 'National Service Dogs'.
