Breeding

Our Breeding Ethos

We are a small, private breeding establishment, breeding only for our own trialling and picking up team. We have a 5* council issued breeding Licence (licence number: 244901, issuing authority: ERYC)  as well as being a member of the Kennel Club Assured Breeder Scheme (Member number: 3722395) for over 12 years until it’s closure in 2025. 

Our aim is to breed health tested, working Labradors who remain true to KC breed standards. The breed standards include not only conformation but the temperament and character of a Labrador Retriever. These are especially important for the versatile breed who should be able to transition from field to home easily.

Puppy Socialisation

All our puppies are socialised following a comprehensive and scientifically-evidenced plan that Sinead has devised using MSc & BSc (Hons) in Animal Science & Behaviour, along with background research and years of breeding experience. This Socialisation Programme describes the activities and care provided for both the bitch and puppies at Mekoro Labradors to ensure a well-rounded and happy puppy that is ready to transition in their new home at any age (8 weeks minimum). A written copy of this plan can be sent out to potential new owners approved to join the waiting list. 

Waiting List 

Waiting lists are not opened until a litter is planned and the bitch has been mated. There is one litter planned for the summer of 2026 from Brie. This is the only litter planned for 2026 with no future plans to breed. Please contact Sinead for more information or to register on the 2026 waiting lists, please email after March 2026. More details regarding the litter planned, including stud dog chosen, will be found on the Puppies for Sale page around March 2026.
