We are excited to introduce “Leo” from the renowned “Tapeatom Kennel” of Mrs Betty Howard, South Africa.
We extend sincere gratitude and thanks to Betty for offering us a puppy from an exceptional litter. We had much admired the Tapeatom/Sandylands lines for many years and understandably were over the moon to be offered one of her puppies.
Leo was exhibited at a number of speciality shows whilst in Canada and achieved great results. He has a beautiful head and kindly expression, moves well and has a lovely, typical Labrador temperament.
Thanks also to Syd Ormerod and LeeAnne Keifer (Oaksill Labradors, Ontario Canada). Syd took Leo into her home and raised him as one of her own cherished labs. LeeAnne trained and exhibited Leo whilst he was in Canada.
