OLDCASTLE is a dedicated small kennel located in the Central West of New South Wales, specializing in the breeding and showing of Labrador Retrievers since 2014. Founded by Darelle Irvin, the kennel has grown from its humble beginnings with the acquisition of their first Labrador, Rosedelight Sienas Noble Glory, to a thriving establishment with a lineage of champion dogs. OLDCASTLE is committed to excellence in breeding, focusing on health, temperament, and conformation, ensuring that each dog meets the highest standards of the breed.
At OLDCASTLE, all breeding dogs undergo rigorous health testing, including DNA health tests for known diseases and traits specific to Labradors, as well as hip and elbow scoring. The kennel prides itself on maintaining current vaccinations, worming, and heartworm treatments for all its dogs. With a strong emphasis on learning and community engagement, OLDCASTLE actively participates in conformation shows, gaining valuable insights and accolades from experienced breeders within the Labrador community. The kennel is currently accepting applications for future litters, with a focus on producing black, chocolate, and yellow puppies.
In addition to breeding, OLDCASTLE also offers older dogs for rehoming and provides a unique benefit for new puppy owners: every puppy purchased through Dogz Online comes with one month of free pet insurance. This initiative reflects the kennel’s commitment to the well-being of their dogs and the satisfaction of their clients. For inquiries or to apply for a puppy, potential owners are encouraged to reach out via email. OLDCASTLE is not just a kennel; it is a community of Labrador enthusiasts dedicated to the love and care of this beloved breed.
