ADDERSLOT Labrador Retrievers, established in 1995 by Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Julie Cramond, is a premier breeding program located in Alexandra, Murrindindi VIC. Specializing in the breeding of high-quality working Labrador Retrievers, ADDERSLOT is dedicated to producing dogs with exceptional working ability and traits. The breeding program is informed by extensive research and international experience, having traveled to New Zealand, the UK, and the USA to observe and source field-bred Labrador genetics. The Cramonds are committed to health and performance, employing rigorous testing protocols, including DNA research and evaluations for hip and elbow dysplasia.
ADDERSLOT takes pride in its impressive lineage, having bred numerous police, drug, and explosive detection Labradors, as well as multiple Australian National Retrieving Trial Champions. The breeding philosophy emphasizes the importance of performance over appearance, ensuring that each dog is not only conformationally sound but also possesses the innate abilities required for specialized tasks. The program utilizes frozen semen from top American field trial studs, focusing on working lines rather than show lines, to maintain the highest standards in breeding.
As active members of various canine clubs, including the Labrador Retriever Club of Victoria and the Victorian Gundog Club, ADDERSLOT is deeply integrated into the dog breeding community. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in their achievements and the quality of dogs produced, which are bred for specific jobs and roles in society. ADDERSLOT Labrador Retrievers are not just pets; they are highly trained working companions that excel in various fields, including search and rescue, agility, and obedience.
