Welcome to our website which explains all about our Golden Retrievers. Both our girls (Holly, left & Willow, right), Rowan (middle), Pippin and our little pup Maple  live in the home as family pets, along with our cat Angie, and two children. They are all from working lines and have some field trial champions in their pedigree. Willow (right) and Holly (left) are intelligent, alert, very loving and eager to please. Rowan is being trained as a gundog and we will hopefully be entering him for some trials / tests in due course. Pippin is one of Holly and Jambo's pups born on the 9/9/10, and Maple is our latest (and last) addition being one of Willow and Lancer's pups born on the 2/5/11.

For news on Holly's pups and all of our dog please look at the photo gallery / diary page.

About us:

We are a small kennel with 5 dogs, and we enjoy all aspects of owning dogs, from training them as pups, through to training them for competition. All of our dogs live in the house and are family pets. We do have kennels which are used "part-time" usually in the mornings after the morning walk. We breed either one or two litters a year, primarily for the enjoyment and to try and offer an alternative to what we call the "show" type retriever. Our pups are actually golden in colour (not white or cream) and are generally smaller and less "hairy". Being from working lines, they are easily trainable as pets and can be trained towards competition standard with a little more work.We aim to breed Golden Retriever puppies with lovely temperaments, free from heriditary problems. We breed the occasional litter using KC registered studs, who have good hip scores and current clear eye certificates. All of our dogs are KC registered and we are KC assured breeders who uphold the aims of the scheme, namely to breed puppies from parents who have been tested for the heriditary problems in the breed, and to give our new puppy owners all the support and advice they need. Willow, Holly and Pippin have good hip scores, clear BVA/KC eye certificates, are micro-chipped and DNA profiled. Rowan is microchipped and DNA profiled, a clear BVA/KC eye certificate and also has good hip scores. Rowan is available to be used as a stud dog, and more details will be available by contacting us using the email address on the contact us page. We will be using Rowan as our own stud dog at the end of 2011.
