Our History

From our first "pet" Labrador in 1978 (Deshler's Buster One CD [Buzz]), to our first "show" dog in 1987 (Am/Can CH Beavercreek's Blackswamp Joe CD [Joe]), to our foundation bitch in 1992 (Ambersand's Midnite Escapade CD, WCX [Cassie]), to our first litter in 1995, to our first owner-handled champion in 1997 (Can CH, UKC-CH Red Birch's Alpine Lace WC) [Heidi, a Cassie daughter] - the FIRST Labrador in UKC conformation history to win Best in Multi-Breed Show), to her son, U-GRCH Red Birch's My Father's Eyes WC (Conner - the second Labrador in UKC conformation history to achieve the Grand Champion title and the first UKC Labrador to win a Top Ten Award of Excellence), to our first triple-conformation-titled dog in 2003 (Am/Can CH, UKC-GRCH Nyroca's New Beat at Red Birch [Cady] - the first UKC Labrador to win three consecutive Top Ten AOE awards), to our newest young hopefuls who are just getting going, Red Birch Labs has quietly evolved from a one-pet home to a serious, though small, hobby kennel.

Our Labradors have daily access to 6 fenced acres in which they can run, dig holes, chase field mice, slop through cattails and mud, and PLAY!  When they're not in our house, they're kenneled in a heated building with raised wood floors and easy-listening radio music!
