FTW & HRCH Tildaross “Arden”
Arden is a big, loving British Labrador with lots of size as well as pace. He has a massive amount of drive, but he’s very calm around the house and kennel. He was bred, trained, and handled by our friend Lee Hayman of Tildaross Labradors. His sire, FTW Copperbirch Ross “Paddy”, has a very similar pedigree to some of our original SOK imports. He is also a large dog with great bone structure, and he is fantastic to watch in the field. Arden’s dam, Leadburn Matilda, is a litter sister to Billy Steel Jnr’s FTCh Leadburn Mist who formerly stood stud at Southern Oak Kennels. The bottom half of Arden’s pedigree is extremely similar to our first lineage of dogs produced at SOK, which is one reason we were so excited to bring him here to the states. We expect his puppies to have big drive and speed, large bone structure, excellent health and fantastic temperaments.
