We are very excited and proud to be opening our waiting list for a stunning litter of white Labradors due to arrive in September meaning they will be ready to leave us Nov 2025



ABOUT US

Sykehead holds a Higher 5-Star Council License with Cumberland Council. Our license number is M:009051.

I was one of the first breeders in the UK to become a nationally recognised Qualified Dog Breeder, having completed the Ofqual Level 3 Certificate in Dog Breeding, Puppy Socialising and Welfare. I am very proud to hold this certificate and be recognised for my hard work and dedication to my fully health-tested Labradors in Cumbria.



In 2023, I also undertook significant CPD in veterinary nursing up to Level 4. Alongside this, I completed:

• Level 3 in First Aid for Puppies and Dogs

• Level 3 Kennel Assistant and Management

• Canine Embryology and Foetal Development for Breeders

• Canine Pregnancy and Whelping

• Puppy Socialisation for Breeders

• Level 3 Canine Nutrition



You can rest assured that our puppies are raised to the best of my ability, receiving the highest standards of care, socialisation, and nutrition. I pride myself on giving 110% in everything I do and in what I’ve learned over my 24 years of breeding. I continually aim to improve myself and my knowledge in every way I can and will continue my learning.

About Our Puppies

The puppies will be born beside my bed and then moved into our kitchen, where they will quickly get used to the household noises typical of a busy country farmhouse.



They will be weaned onto high-quality dry kibble.

Before leaving us at 8 weeks, each puppy will have received the best start in life, including:

• Well-socialised early experiences

• A strict worming programme

• Frontline treatment at 6 weeks

• Microchipping at 6 weeks

• A vet check close to 8 weeks



In addition to household noise, they will enjoy our purpose-built enrichment puppy room. This space allows for safe exploration and play and supports early stimulation and cognitive development between 4 and 16 weeks of age.



Research shows that pups exposed to diverse textures, sounds, and stimuli in early life grow into more stable, confident, and trainable dogs. Even well-bred pups with superior pedigrees may underperform socially if raised in unstimulating environments.

Our Early Development Puppy Play Area, with a variety of toys and sensory challenges, is designed to prevent that.

Contact & Reservation Info

Please feel free to contact me with any questions not covered in this advert.

We are advertising this litter early to give families the opportunity to get to know us — over the phone, by text, and in person during puppy viewings.

We aim to keep in touch regularly over the coming months with updated photos and progress reports, rather than waiting until the puppies are ready to leave.



A £300 non-refundable deposit/holding fee is required to secure your chosen puppy.

Once the deposit is received, weekly progress updates will begin.

When the puppies are over 6 weeks old, you’ll be invited to visit and select your puppy (if you haven’t already),with choices made in order of deposits received.

Each puppy will leave with:

• Vet check report

• Puppy contract

• KC documents (endorsed)

• Insurance

• Toys

• Blanket

• Brush

• Bowl

• Puppy pads

• Poo bags

• Food

Thank you for reading our advert.

We look forward to hearing from you and keeping you informed on your future puppy’s progress here at Sykehead.
