Description

Bridge Score Pad – Black Labrador

The Simon Lucas Bridge Score Pad – Black Labrador – is a very smart score pad. Containing 50 double-sided score cards choose between rubber, chicago, or plain paper for scoring whist, doppelkopf or even scabble. Firstly, we print our score cards on quality card. Then we make them into a pad with a back board to lean on and cover to keep them clean. A pad keeps the score cards neat and tidy. Furthermore, the score sheets don’t get tatty as they aren’t loose.

A top British Ceramics Artist painted the wonderful watercolour of a black labrador exclusively for us. In addition, we have printed the beautiful cover with gold ink making it exceptionally special. Along with the rest of our Countryside range, these pads are highly desirable and collectible. They look good in any combination on your bridge table!

The score cards are made from quality card so you can either give each player their own pad or a single score card. Alternatively you can put the score cards into our score card holders. Moreover, each bridge score pad – Black Labrador – contains 50 double-sided score cards, which is 100 games per pad.

The score cards measure approximately W8.2 x L19.4cm.

In Celebration of the Black Labrador

Hunters use Labrador’s as a ‘flushing’ dog that will retrieve the game once down.  Both upland game birds and waterfowl and generally hunted using Labradors. Labradors have come to be one of the favorite family house pets in Britain today due to its wonderful personality, gentle disposition and loyalty.

The Kennel Club recognised Labrador Retrievers as a breed in 1903. Labradors were originally called a St. John’s Dog or lesser Newfoundland dog. The breed was in Newfoundland in the 1700’s and imported to England beginning the early 1800’s.  The Labrador’s exact origin unknown but some speculate the Greater Newfoundland dog or the French St. Hubert’s dog is part of the cross that made the St. John’s dog.

In 1887 the Earl of Malmesbury first coined the name Labrador in a letter he wrote referring the them as his Labrador Dogs.  The Territory of Labrador is just Northwest of Newfoundland geographically.   Richard Wolters in his book the “Labrador Retriever” writes that the 19th century Brits lumped that area together as the same land mass, so it could have referred to dogs from that area.

Today the Black Labrador is a much loved dog, being the UK’s number one favourite.
