Global Recognition Awards

Nook on Lyne Labradors Receives 2024 Global Recognition Award

Nook on Lyne Labradors, founded by dedicated and ethical breeders, Vicky & Mike Rutherford, has been recognized with a 2024 Global Recognition Award for its outstanding commitment to responsible breeding practices, in the breeding of Labrador Retrievers. Established in 2021 and based in North Cumbria, UK, this fully licensed, 5-star Kennel Club breeder has quickly distinguished itself within the industry by adhering to the highest animal care and breeding excellence standards. Nook on Lyne Labradors’ recognition as the “Best Pure Bred Labrador Breeder 2024 UK” by LUXlife further highlights the couples exceptional reputation. Their rigorous health testing, ensuring all dogs are free from 250 genetic health conditions, positions it as a leader in the field.

One of the key reasons behind this recognition is the couple’s dedication to responsible breeding. Unlike commercial breeders, Nook on Lyne Labradors limits itself to just two litters per year, allowing the couple to devote their full attention and resources to each litter. This approach reflects their passion for breeding, which they view not as a business but as a personal commitment to the welfare of their dogs. Their puppies are raised in a home environment, treated as part of the family, and undergo extensive puppy profiling from three days old until they are ready to be matched with their new owners. This careful attention to the needs of puppies and future owners ensures each dog is placed in a home where it will thrive.

Commitment to Ethical Breeding

Nook on Lyne Labradors has garnered significant recognition due to its strong commitment to ethical breeding practices. As the first UK-approved breeder of VidiVet, they have demonstrated a solid focus on improving pet health and welfare. This distinction, combined with their 5-star licensed breeder status, reflects the couple’s adherence to the highest ethical standards in the breeding industry. The endorsement by VidiVet underscores their dedication to animal health and its efforts to promote best practices within the field.

The couple’s meticulous health testing protocols are another critical factor in its success. By utilizing advanced genetic testing from Embark in the United States, Nook on Lyne Labradors ensures that all their breeding dogs are free from the tested genetic health conditions. This thorough approach to health screening for all their dogs is uncommon in the UK and highlights their commitment to producing healthy, well-adjusted puppies. Additionally, their involvement in educational initiatives, such as podcasts to discuss responsible litter raising, further solidifies its role as a leader in ethical breeding.

Exceptional Client Engagement and Support

Beyond their breeding practices, Nook on Lyne Labradors is recognized for its outstanding client engagement and post-purchase support. Vicky & Mike’s approach to matching puppies with the right owners is thorough and thoughtful. Extensive puppy profiling and continuous communication with potential owners allow the couple to match puppies based on family dynamics, including considerations for disabilities, first-time dog ownership, and specific family needs. This process ensures the puppies’ well-being and contributes to their placement’s long-term success. At Nook on Lyne Labradors nobody gets the last puppy instead everyone gets the right puppy.

Nook on Lyne Labradors’ commitment to their clients extends well beyond the initial purchase. The couple offer a comprehensive support package, including a funded 12-month subscription to veterinary expertise and online puppy training, with access to three trainers. This level of post-purchase care demonstrates Vicky & Mike’s dedication to ensuring that the puppies and their new owners are well-supported. The couple’s five-star reviews and high client satisfaction reflect the effectiveness of this approach, solidifying its reputation as a trusted breeder. In fact it was this reputation that prompted two separate unassociated family’s from Bermuda to travel over 12000km to Vicky & Mike specifically for a Nook on Lyne Labrador puppy.

Final Words

The recognition of Nook on Lyne Labradors with a 2024 Global Recognition Award is a testament to Vicky & Mike’s unwavering dedication to ethical breeding, comprehensive health testing, and exceptional client support.
