A little about us
Marsagan Labradors is a family business that started out in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2003. We emigrated to Australia in 2015 and are now based in Summerholm, Queensland. Sam, Donna and Xena (Milie's daughter) made the trip across the waters to join us.
Why we got involved in breeding
We have always had dogs, in particular Labradors and started out breeding in Scotland back in 2003 to breed amazing examples of the Labrador.
Our special touch
Marsagan Labradors lean towards the breeding of working line labradors as opposed to Show line labradors from champion pedigrees that are health tested and suit being a traditional gun dog as well as a trusty family pet.
