Thornton Park is a small, family-oriented kennel located in the picturesque Lockyer Valley, approximately one and a half hours west of Brisbane. Specializing in breeding beautiful Chocolate Labrador Retrievers, our dogs are not just pets; they are integral members of our family and cattle stud. With 160 acres of land, our dogs enjoy an active lifestyle, engaging in farm activities such as mustering cattle and moving sheep, which ensures they are genetically sound and exceptionally fit. We pride ourselves on providing detailed information and ongoing support to new puppy owners, ensuring a smooth transition for both the puppy and their new family.
Our esteemed sire, ‘Sibelius,’ is a remarkable dog, having been bred from exclusive semen imported from Finland. He boasts a lineage that includes the Show Labrador of 2013 and 2014, along with numerous European Championships. Sibelius is available for stud services and consistently produces stunning puppies, which can be viewed on our social media platforms. All our dogs undergo comprehensive DNA testing for genetic conditions, including PRA and EIC, and are hip and elbow scored to ensure the highest quality of health and temperament in our puppies.
At Thornton Park, we believe that a nurturing environment is essential for raising well-adjusted dogs. Our Labradors are surrounded by children and grandchildren, receiving ample love, attention, and human interaction. This family-oriented approach is vital in producing puppies that are not only healthy but also well-suited for family life. We may not participate in dog shows, as our focus is on cattle, but we are dedicated to breeding genetically sound and quality dogs that will bring joy to their new families.
