Detailed Information

THORNTONPARK is a dedicated breeder of Labrador Retrievers, located in the picturesque Lockyer Valley, approximately one and a half hours west of Brisbane, Queensland. Operated by Margo Hayes, this small, family-oriented kennel prides itself on raising genetically sound dogs in a nurturing home environment. The dogs are not only cherished family members but also integral to the daily operations of a cattle stud, where they engage in various farm activities such as mustering cattle and moving sheep. This active lifestyle ensures that the dogs are fit, healthy, and well-adjusted, making them ideal companions for families.

At THORNTONPARK, the breeding program focuses on producing beautiful chocolate Labradors, with a commitment to genetic health and quality. All dogs undergo comprehensive health testing, including hip and elbow scoring, as well as tests for Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) and Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC). The main sire, “Thornton Park Sibelius,” is a distinguished lineage imported from Finland, known for producing exceptional puppies. Each puppy is provided with a detailed information package, vaccinations, registration, and a Royal Canin take-home pack, ensuring that new owners have all the necessary resources for a smooth transition.

THORNTONPARK believes in the importance of socialization and human interaction, as the dogs are raised in a loving environment surrounded by children and grandchildren. This approach fosters well-adjusted puppies that are ready to become beloved family members. With a focus on quality over quantity, THORNTONPARK is committed to responsible breeding practices and ongoing support for puppy owners.
