STRONG STAEL LILLU FOR MILLA "Barca"

There she is—my very first girl, Barca.
She embodied the true spirit and temperament of a classic Labrador Retriever—intelligent, driven, and endlessly loyal. Whether in the field or in the show ring, she was a natural winner, and being by her side through those accomplishments was an absolute joy.

Barca gave me more than ribbons and titles—she gave me unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the Labrador breed. I'm incredibly grateful for the journey we shared and the lessons she taught me along the way.

She also blessed me with a beautiful litter by Tango, and we had the privilege of following those pups throughout their lives. Each one carried a piece of her spirit, and watching them grow only deepened my love for what she gave us.

So many memories, so much heart. Barca will always hold a special place in my story.
