We are delighted to welcome and introduce our newest family member, Richie. ❤️
Richie is eight weeks old and is the son of our girl Cassie, grandson of Brodie and Breagha. 🙂
Please say hello and welcome Richie. ❤️
Our boy, Brodie, is at the vets having his blood taken and being X-rayed.
Woke this morning he was very disorientated, very lethargic, very sore and unhappy.
If you have any positive thoughts could you send him some please, we could do with some .
Rest in Peace, our beautiful Big Bear, Harvey.
Run, forever young and pain free, at the bridge, Big Bear, until we meet you again.
Letting you go, today, has broken our hearts. 💔
We love you and will never forget you xx
Dad says that our black labs get loads of attention on twitter and I get not too much. So here is our senior, beautiful and wonderful, ten year old, girl, Nettie.
Can you please give our old girl a like and show her that she is liked equally.
Thanks ❤️
1/2 Today our Brodie boy won enough points to be awarded his veteran warrant. It is the last award he will ever receive as he has won every single award that can be given to a UK Show dog.
This guy is our Harvey, our big bear Harvey, he is ten years old.
All his life he has suffered from serious orthopaedic problems.
These issues are now, really, kicking in with age.
Could you, please, just let him know it will be ok.
Thanks.
There are no words we could write that would express how much of a privilege it is to have this boy, our Brodie boy, in our life’s.
Happy ninth birthday, Brodie.
You are, simply, the best, the very best xx
Seven years ago we decided to show our labradors, as a hobby, a bit of fun. As we did we were told not to expect too much, as we were pet people.
Three years ago, today, our Brodie Boy became a UK Show Champion, he really did 😍😍
Have a great Sunday 🙂
Rest in Peace, our wonderful, Nettie. 💔
After a short illness our beautiful old girl passed over to the Rainbow Bridge today.
We are heartbroken.
Run, pain, free, sweetheart. We will never forget you.
Mum, Dad and your Bruadarach Family x
This is Kelly, he was our first ever black Labrador. He went to the bridge 25 years ago.
If anybody thinks, they are just dogs and are easily forgotten, please know they aren't .
They are never forgotten and are always in our hearts ❤️
A few years ago we decided to do a christmas photo with our labs. We wanted to capture the spirit and the excitement of the event (we haven't tried since) .
This was our best effort 🙄
Merry Christmas everybody. 😊
Twitter (X) is an unpleasant place just now, with many horrific images and videos being posted. We prefer not to comment on or repost any of them.
Please take a moment to post something happy, something that makes you smile.
We will start, thank you.
Our girl Breagha, eats and rolls in anything that is foul and stinking, she charges around diving into muddy puddles and can clear a room when she breaks wind. She is a wee stinker.
Breagha lives for the day and today is her day.
Happy 6th birthday, sweetheart, never change 🎉🎉
We are Bruadarach Labradors, Nettie, Breagha, Harvey and Brodie and are family. Our mum and dad told us when they set up our account, they were cluesless has to how twitter works. Now they say we have lots of new friends and everybody is very kind. Thank you.
For a laugh can you post up your photos.
The ones that make you think, Goodness why do we do this ?
They are loveable, make us laugh but every once in a while we have to wonder why.
Here's our's 😅
In the UK, The BBC Country file is running a dog of the year competition.
The competition is for any dog owner to enter and to try and capture your dog enjoying countryside walks.
This is our entry, called First Light 🙂
Seven years ago today we brought home a tiny black lab puppy and named him Brodie.
Brodie is one of best friends, our loyal companion and he knocked it out of the park by becoming a UK Show Champion.
Our Brodie Boy, our champ, happy Gotcha day 😘❤️
I think my name is Breagha but I'm not too sure !!
I get called "Cutie Pie, Sweetie, Drop it, Stop biting, Ouch, Let go, What's in your mouth?, That really hurt "
I am so confused 🙄😍
For anybody who is not aware, this the two second rule.
The first picture is our labs behaving nicely and posing for a family photo.
The second picture is two seconds later 🙄❤️
We barely notice it, as they age. The grey beard and whiskers, the wise expression they carry, the ever so gentle slowing down and taking it easy
Senior dogs are so beautiful and never stop giving
To all seniors, have a lovely, peaceful, Saturday and know you are very special ❤️
Hi everybody, I think my name is "Drop it, Stop it, Ouch, What's in your mouth?, That really hurt, Cutie Pie, Sweetie" or a combination of them. It's so confusing !! 🙄
Cassie ❤️
Our dad is heading out to Kuala Lumpur today to work. Our dad takes our photos so there mayn't be too many for the next couple of months.
Can you wish our dad a safe journey, please ?
Lots of love, his labs x
Our gorgeous little girl, Cassie ,is one year old today. 🎂
Happy birthday sweetheart, you are bundle of energy but have brought us nothing but joy over the past year x
A very special treat for you tonight xx💕
Harvey : Day one. 1/2 😍
This is our big Bear Harvey who will soon be nine. Because he is so special we are going to tweet a picture of him, daily, leading up to and including his birthday on Valentines day. 🎂
Harvey as battled many crippling orthopaedic
Eight years ago today, a little black Labrador puppy came home with us. We called him Brodie 😍
Our wonderful Brodie Boy, our Champion, Father of our Cassie, our loyal friend.
Happy Gotcha Day, Brodie ❤️
This fella, is just about to travel 6000 miles out to Brazil to work.
He is hoping to be home for Christmas.
It would mean the world if you could wish him safe travels and he will see you all again at Christmas 🎄✈️🎄
We looked through our camera last night and this picture was there. The last picture we took of Nettie, the day before she passed away.
Our vet has called and she is ready to come home so she will be with us again.
Thank you all for you kind comments xx
Our mum tested positive for Covid on Monday. She has had both her jabs but said she felt like she had been hit by a bus.
She and dad(who is writing this)are in isolation until Wednesday, when she will test again.
Get well soon, mum xx
Tomorrow we will travel down the road for Crufts on Thursday.
Our Brodie Boy is in the Veteran Labrador class, it will most likely be his last show.
Regardless of what happens we feel we will be taking the best dog and bringing the best dog home 🙂
The two second rule !!🙂
For anybody who doesn't know this rule, here it is.
The first photo is our labs sitting nicely.
The second photo is two seconds later 🙄
We haven’t tweeted for some time and apologise as we have been very busy but we would like to introduce our new additions, born 07/02/2021.
Mum and dad, Breagha and Brodie are both fine and are delighted as are we.
Please, say hello to our puppies.
Happy 3rd birthday to our little girl Cassie 🎂🎂
For the last three years you have brought nothing but chaos and mayhem into the house and we have loved every moment of it 😊
Happy birthday sweetheart 🐾🥳
Our big bear Harvey left us two weeks ago and as we come to terms with it, we looked through our photos.
This is the last picture of him, in the sunshine and happy.
This is how we now remember him, in the sunshine and happy.
Have a pleasant and peaceful weekend.
We have a cuddle corner, where I get on the floor of the kitchen to cuddle our labs. Our girls, Cassie and Breagha always come into the corner for cuddles.
Tonight and for the first time in ten years Brodie joined us and came for a cuddle.
Just saying 🙂
Human dad here. I am just about to start a very long journey home (some 6000 miles) to be home for Christmas. I hope to be home,with my family, on the 23rd.
Looking forward the welcome home.🏡🏡
In the meatime, wishing everybody a great Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
She is three !!!, our baby girl, Breagha, is three years old ❤️
Where did it all go ?
Happy birthday Sweetheart, everyday with you brings nothing but smiles and happiness. xx
Trying to get four labs to look nice, cool and relaxed for a nice family photo can be quite a challenge.
We haven't quite mastered it yet but we live in hope !! 😀😍
Thank you everybody for your support and kind words for our pups, Brodie and Cassie at Crufts this year.🙂
It wasn't to be and they have left the arena.
Regardless of the results, the best dogs are coming home, with their loving family❤️
Thank you 🙂

Her brothers and sister are now with their new families and we love them all and wish them all well with many big adventures to come.
Please meet our girl, Cassie, who we are absolutely delighted with and love to bits ❤️
We all have that one friend 🙄😊
Although I have posted this photo before, it never fails to make us happy, which is something we all need just now. 🙂
Have a great Wednesday 🙂
#Wednesdayvibe
Thank you everybody, the vet has called and we are away to pick him up and bring him home. No blockage and nothing else of concern on the X-ray. A very nasty tummy bug is the cause. Plenty of rest and TLC coming his way. Thankfully, nothing serious x
So, our mum tripped over our young girl, Cassie, this morning and broke her arm and now our dad has been told to self isolate because he has been in contact with somebody who as Covid. 😐
Looks like 2022 is picking up where 2021 left off !!!🙄
Our boy, our wonderful Brodie Boy, is seven today.
Happy birthday fella and thank you, just thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness into our lives. ❤️😍
Our big bear, Harvey, would like to say Hi to everybody.
He also wants it to be known he loves cuddles, snuggles and sausages.
Harvey says have a great Sunday ❤️
Not all photos turn out the way you imagine.
We imagined an image of our sweet, gentle girl, Breagha, running gracefully towards us 🙄😉
Have a great Tuesday 🙂
#tongueouttuesday
All ready to travel to the UKs biggest dog show.
Father and daughter team, Brodie and Cassie will be competing on Friday. 🙂
Regardless of the results we believe we take the best dogs and bring home the best dogs.🐶
Good luck to all competitors 🙂

All our labs live together as a family but they are all individual.
Please meet our family.
Brodie.
Harvey.
Breagha.
Cassie.
All unique, all wonderful. Our family ❤️
It's Friday and mum and dad are having steaks for dinner. So here is the issue we counted six steaks, four people and four of us.
We guess we get a whole steak each and they get a half each, right ? Sounds about right to us 🙄😍
Our Brodie boy aged 5 in 2018 and now aged 10 😊
They may age but they do so with grace and still keep shining 😊
Have a great Thursday a

This picture was taken seven years ago, today, in 2017.
Keep chasing the bunnies and running free, Harvey, we haven't forgotten you, we never will 🌈x
Our Big Bear ♥️
This year we will make a real effort to get a happy, merry, Chirtsmas photo of our labs, full of life and happiness.
Our last effort wasn't too successful🙄😊
Hoo, hoo 😅
So our silly wee girl, Breagha, is now on enforced crate rest after jumping off a bridge while out on a walk. Sometimes the most direct route, when retrieving something, is not the best route.
She is fine, been to the vet, nothing broken but badly bruised. 😒
Our boy, our wonderful Brodie Boy, is 8 today.
Happy birthday, we cannot put into words how much joy you have brought into our life and how much you mean to us.
Our friend, our champion, our wonderful, gentle, mature, wise, old boy.
Happy birthday fella ❤️
A day at Whitehaven Show today with our Brodie Boy.
Brodie was in the vintage class ( any dog 10+) and won.
Well done Brodie Boy, you maybe vintage and have a few grey hairs but you've still got it sweetheart x ♥️
Six years ago, today, we brought home a little puppy and named her Breagha.
She charges around, diving into rivers, eats and rolls in the most unimaginable smelly things and lives her best life. 🙂
Happy gotcha day, sweetheart, please never change x ❤️🐾🐾
This is the face's of the father and daughter team who managed to get into the food recycle bin this afternoon. They are now feeling very sorry for themselves because they have swollen tummies from all the waste fruit and veg they scoffed.
No dinner for you guys tonight 🙄
