Welcome to Cedar Key Labradors, with locations in Virginia and Florida. I’m Kara Hite and I’ve been involved with Labradors since 1980 when my parents were raising and breeding Labs with pedigrees going back to Sandylands Kennel in the UK. Throughout my life I’ve always had a Labrador at my side.
In 2005, I bought my first show prospect, Kimberwick Back in Black “Diesel”, sired by MBISS AM Can CH Beechcroft Study in Black. While Diesel won a few classes, he decided that practicing agility was much more fun, so we bowed out of the show ring early and spent more time practicing agility.
In 2015, I ventured into a co-ownership on another show prospect from Tealwood Labradors with the acquisiton of Tealwood Who Needs to Study aka “Bronson.” He enjoyed showing and I was thrilled to be at the end of his lead when we picked up his first major.
I’ve been actively involved in local clubs as well as breed-specific clubs and am a member of the Labrador Retriever Club (LRC) and Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac (LRCP). I currently serve as Treasurer of LRCP as well as being assistant to the co-Chair of the largest regional breed specialty with the April Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac Specialty.
