Glib Hub ( Guild of Labrador Improvement Breeders )
The Guild of Labrador Improvement Breeders (GLIB) is a collaborative group of Labrador breeders committed to the long-term health, function, and genetic integrity of the breed. GLIB exists to promote responsible breeding practices grounded in data, transparency, and performance. Our focus is not on aesthetics or controversy, but on measurable outcomes such as structural soundness, temperament, working ability, and verified health testing. Members of the Guild emphasize open health reporting, thoughtful genetic diversity management, and continual education. By encouraging evidence-based decision making and ethical stewardship, GLIB seeks to strengthen the Labrador Retriever for future generations while supporting breeders who prioritize improvement over tradition alone.
The Lab Pod
The Lab Pod is an educational video podcast created to inform, challenge, and occasionally provoke thoughtful discussion within the Labrador community. Using short form video, visual storytelling, and humor, The Lab Pod breaks down complex topics such as genetics, health testing, breed history, and registry policy in ways that are accessible and engaging. Humor is used intentionally not to dismiss serious issues, but to cut through noise, misinformation, and emotionally driven arguments. The Lab Pod also addresses common myths surrounding dilute Labradors, including what we refer to as Dilute Derangement Syndrome (DDS). By highlighting data, context, and responsible breeding practices, the goal is to encourage critical thinking while promoting health tested, ethically bred Labradors across all recognized colors. At its core, The Lab Pod exists to educate, entertain, and advocate for a healthier, better informed future for the Labrador Retriever.
TheLabrador.Site
TheLabrador.Site is an educational platform dedicated to examining the Labrador Retriever through data, genetics, and real world evidence rather than speculation or tradition alone. The site explores controversial topics such as dilute Labradors by grounding discussion in DNA, health testing, historical records, and population level data. It also compares differing breeding philosophies with the goal of helping breeders and owners think critically about how decisions impact the long term health of the breed. By separating fact from emotion and research from rhetoric, TheLabrador.Site exists to inform, challenge assumptions, and promote responsible, evidence based Labrador breeding.
