Simon Malseed is the son of Linda and Greg Malseed of Rodorbal Labradors which are based in Macarthur (Southwest Coast of Victoria). Rodorbal Labradors have been established for 30 years.

Simon has been with Labradors for all his life, his first Labrador was Molly “Rodorbal Errant Melody” ( black lab - pictured above) who used to go everywhere with Simon and was his first gun dog. Molly was eventually mated to "Poolstead Pleasant Thought (Imp UK)"  and then there was Cookie “Rodorbal Quite Contrary" (chocolate lab - also pictured above).  Cookie was a mad puppy, search and destroy was her hobby. Cookie was named after the  Cookie Monster!

Simon and Bec moved to Ardlethan (a very small country town near Wagga Wagga) where Simon was an Assistant Manager on a Farm and Rebecca was a Legal Secretary in Griffith . During our time there, a very sad event occurred, Molly passed away peacefully just before Christmas. She was buried on our good friend’s (McKinnons) farm and to this day we still say hello to her when we are visiting the McKinnons.

Well poor Cookie was a bit lost, so as a Christmas present to Bec, Simon had organised a little yellow puppy girl, Paris “Rodorbal on the Catwalk”, who was brought up to Ardlethan by Linda and Greg who helped us move to Leeton. Linda had already organised to come up to NSW from VIC and compete in the 3 day Temora Dog Show, from which Linda mentioned to Bec that she could ‘show’ Paris at these three days. Well this is where it all began!!! Paris (handled by Bec) beat Linda’s girl each day for bitch challenge and attained 21 points for the whole weekend.

Bec was hooked, and since then we have been showing Labradors since 2004. Cookie is still with us and comes on a few trips to the dog show. Some people will remember seeing the chocolate girl with the really grey beard

In April 2008, We moved from Leeton, NSW to Hamilton VIC for new job oportunities and to be closer to family, since then, we have welcomed our first child, Riley Malseed born 18th December 2008 and now our second child Jake Malseed born 27th April 2011.
