EDITORS COMMENTS
This black Labrador Retriever, named Champion Orchardton-du-O Banchory, poses proudly for the camera in this stunning photograph from the 1940s. Owned by the esteemed Lorna, Countess Howe, this champion Labrador retriever was a true embodiment of the breed's grace, power, and intelligence. The image captures the essence of the autumn season with the rich, golden leaves scattered on the ground, creating a beautiful contrast against the black coat of the Labrador. The dog stands confidently, with its ears perked up and eyes fixed on the horizon, exuding an air of alertness and readiness. Labrador Retrievers were originally bred in Newfoundland as hunting companions, and their exceptional abilities in retrieving game made them a popular choice among sportsmen and women. In the 1940s, the breed had already gained significant popularity in the United Kingdom, and champions like Orchardton-du-O Banchory were a source of pride for their owners. Lorna, Countess Howe, was a prominent figure in British society during the 1940s, known for her love of animals and her involvement in various charitable causes. The photograph of her beloved Champion Orchardton-du-O Banchory is a testament to the deep bond between the Countess and her cherished companion, as well as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the Labrador Retriever breed during this era.
