Blackthorn's That Girl's New in Town CGC (Marlo)

Two years ago I was looking for a foundation bitch. I contacted probably twenty breeders all over the country. I was not able to find anyone that had any puppies available (at least for me). However, I did have a wonderful conversation with Barbara Gilchrist of Blackthorn Labradors, who gave me the opportunity to explain what my goals were in the breeding arena. After all, I am a non entity in the breeding world, a total unknown. She listened and gave me an opportunity to own a Blackthorn dog. After many phone calls and emails, Barb called with an offer of a puppy. I obviously accepted! Barb and I collaborated on a name and we came up with Blackthorn’s That Girl’ New In Town. Some of you will remember Marlo Thomas, staring in the television series, in the sixties, called “That Girl.” Hence the name Marlo! I remembered that Marlo Thomas was a beautiful black haired woman, petite and sweet. Marlo has all those characteristics and more. She has a beautiful head, with great expression, with a lovely disposition.

I met Barb for the first time at this years Labrador retriever show of the Potomac in Fredrick, Maryland. I was thrilled to finally meet this woman who really took a chance with a no name person in the Labrador breeding world. I really am indebted to Barb. Since that time we have had many conversations and emails about all sorts of breeding concerns. She has graciously shared her wisdom and experience with me. I can honestly say that when Barb speaks, I listen. Her suggestions and experience are invaluable to me. I am extremely fortunate to be mentored by such a respected person and breeder. Thank you Barb!

At seven months of age, Marlo passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test with flying colors. She shows very well and really enjoys the ring. She will be making more show appearances this coming year. I hope to send her to Canada this summer with a local handler, who has had great success in Canada for many years. As Marlo progresses in the ring and developmentally, I will place updates on the site. You may inquire at any time by emailing me.
