Lobuff Labrador Retrievers - Long Island, New York

A small hobby kennel on Long Island, we own and breed English type Labradors. We strive to have dogs that are triple or all purpose dogs. We feel that a wellbred healthy and sound Labrador should be able to go out and do any job asked of him or her. Ch Lobuff's Bare Necessities CD JH, co owned with Emily Biegel - "Tollhouse" Labradors, sired more than 50 working Guide Dogs as well as champions, junior hunters and family companions.

Lobuff started as a family affair Col Jerry and Lee Weiss and five daughters all enjoyed the sport as a hobby. Although Patti, Donna, Maggie and Mollie and their respective families are animal lovers and owners, it is Col Weiss as a popular AKC judge and Lisa as a breeder and breeder/judge who carry on with the Lobuff dogs.

Today many of the Lobuff dogs are shown and co-owned in friendship and partnership with Julie Quigley-Smith at Hollyridge Labradors in Rhode Island. Over the last seven years, we've enjoyed many wonderful wins, travels and lots of shopping! Together we've won the LRC National, LRC Potomac twice and in 2008 Best of Breed at Westminster KC.

In 2002 bred to Ch. Borador's By George, Turtle Dove produced a beautiful litter of 8. We were lucky enough to have 4 champions, all who have won specialties. Females Ch. Lobuff Hollyridge Puffin and Piper and 2 boys who live with Diane Pilbin and her donkeys!!! Ch Lobuff Bobwhite at Chucklebrook and Ch Lobuff The Eagle Has Landed @ Chucklebrook - Beau and Eddie. Puffin and Piper are proving to be valuable producers and the boys have proven to be wonderful sires. All have specialty winning get.

After a terribly botched C-Section at a local Emergency Vet Hospital for that 1st litter, Dove's uterus was left very damaged due to blatant disregard and negligence. It was a huge heartbreak since she'd prove to be such a producer. Thanks to Dr Hutchinson and Julie's perseverance, her uterus was repaired enough so we could breed her again....though she'd never carry more than 2 puppies at a time. We bred her to CH Dickendall Buckstone Zane and had 2 lovely bitches who have done well at specialties and are wonderful producers - Magpie and Whippoorwill. Then we bred her to Ch Sureshot Hyspire Impressive and she had 2 puppies....again we were lucky because they were a stellar pair. Ch Lobuff Hollyridge Kisskadee and Ch Lobuff Hollridge Osprey......because they were "those" two....two was okay!!!

We plan to continue on down the road in the future with Dove children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
