Hi everyone,
I’ve been given the opportunity to import frozen semen from several Canadian Champion Labradors, which would be professionally stored.

Before I go ahead, I’d love to get some feedback from UK breeders:
???? Would there be interest in access to these rare bloodlines?

This is not an advert, just me gauging whether there’s genuine interest before committing to the process. Any thoughts or advice much appreciated!”

With such a large genepool in the UK, what are you looking to improve by bringing this in?

Are they show champions or working champions?

With respect, I think you should do this if YOU want the bloodlines not on the basis of what others might, or might not, be interested in using.  You may find there is interest in what this might produce, or not.   When I imported a dog (different breed) from the UK to Canada, his breeder here (UK) 'assumed' I'd recoup his cost from breeders out there who'd come to him for studs.  Hah.   If only that were the case.  He did make his title out there but literally nobody was interested in using him.  This was when we lived out there and wanted a new dog to compliment our bloodlines (English, Canadian and American).  Which he did.

If you like the lines and want to use them then great, you should go ahead. I hope you're not being swayed by the Champion titles though, as that means different things in different countries. In US and Canada it's really easy to make champions up, as the competition is constantly being eliminated, whereas that's far from true here.
