Much of the popularity of the Labrador today is due to Lady Howe’s love and devotion. To this day her written words can be taken as an inspiration to those endeavouring to produce the genuine dual purpose dog. In the Club Year Book of 1932 she wrote ... ... ‘Happily the majority of the dogs that have won CC’s have qualified in the field, either by being awarded a Working Certificate or by winning at trials ... ... It is sincerely to be hoped that such a state will long continue and that Labradors may, for many years to come, have representatives of the breed that compete successfully not only in their own classes but in classes open to all varieties, and show that working gundogs should be so high in quality and symmetrical in shaped that they can hold their own amongst the best show dogs of the day.’
