AKC GCH CH EverOak’s Belle of The Ball

“Diva”

BbEeDD – Black Carrying Yellow & Chocolate | Dilute Free

Diva is a lovely representation of the classic English Labrador type we are dedicated to preserving at EverOak Labradors & Sussex Spaniels. Feminine without being slight, substantial without losing elegance, she embodies balance, correct structure, and the joyful, steady temperament that defines the breed.

She completed her AKC Championship before two years of age — an achievement made even more meaningful after nearly a year away from the ring during COVID-19 interruptions. Diva went on to earn her AKC Grand Championship in March 2022, demonstrating not only quality but consistency in type and movement.

Beyond her titles, Diva represents what matters most to us: thoughtful pedigree planning, sound construction, correct breed character, and the kind, confident nature that makes the Labrador Retriever both a working partner and devoted companion.

At EverOak, a championship is never just a ribbon or prefix — it is confirmation that our breeding decisions align with the written standard and long-term preservation goals. Health, temperament, structure, and integrity always come first.

Dilute Gene Testing & Coat Color Integrity

The EverOak Commitment

In light of ongoing discussion surrounding silver and other diluted coat colors, we remain committed to complete transparency and responsible genetic stewardship.

Every Labrador in the EverOak breeding program is DNA tested not only for coat color but specifically for the “D” locus (dilution gene). We are proud to confirm that all of our Labradors are 100% dilute free (DD).

As preservation breeders, safeguarding pigment integrity, overall health, and adherence to the official Labrador Retriever standard is fundamental to our program. Careful genetic screening protects not only today’s litters, but the future of the breed.

We do not simply speak about preservation — we document it and stand behind it.
