At CHANPEMA KENNELS we specialise in the Chocolate coloured Labrador Retriever. We also breed the other two colours black and yellow, although the yellows were only introduced to our kennel recently. We were established in 1995 with our first Labrador CH ELORAC BORIS BROWN (Boris) from ELORAC Kennels. He became the first chocolate Labrador to gain his show title here in South Australia. Since then we have breed our own Labradors under the CHANPEMA prefix, as well as bringing in other dogs from several kennels to establish our lines. Our kennel name was formed from the first two letters from the family’s name, Peter, Anne, Chevaun and Mathew Smith. We have been able to title several Chanpema Kennel breed dogs, including the first Chocolate Labrador Bitch to gain her show title in S.A. As of 2007 we have titled 12 Labradors, 3 Border Terriers and 1 GWP. Of the 12 Labradors 8 we have bred and 4 of them have been the rarer chocolate colour.

In 2004 Border terriers were introduced to our Kennel. Our first Border Terrier Ralph was bred by Apamura Kennels although he is all Stormvale lines, and since we have purchased two dogs from Stormvale kennels. In early 2006 we titled our first Border Terrier Ch Stormvale Borda Bardot. 

In 2006 we were asked by Sue Wright if we would like to campaign a GWP (German Wirehaired Pointer). After doing a little bit of research we agreed to take a dog. We have never looked back and we are now in love with this checky and fun loving Breed that is always trying to please anyone, and it is hard to resistace a fuzz face like Benny. We have had quite a bit of success with Moruada GWP and are glad we have these cute fuzz face dogs in our keenel.

CHANPEMA KENNELS ARE PEDIGREE PREFERED BREDER. At chanpema Kennels all our dogs are fed on the Advance range.
