12th APRIL 2022 SPECIAL NOTICE: I'm sorry I haven't update the website for over a year, (more details in the diary)

Welcome to our website which explains all about our Golden Retrievers. All our dogs, Rowan, Amber, Kingston, young Willow and young Maple live in the home as family pets, and some are trained as working gundogs. They are all from working lines and have several field trial champions in their pedigree. Willow RIP 18/08/16 (right) and Holly RIP 19/11/18 (left) were intelligent, alert, very loving and eager to please. Rowan (middle) was trained as a working gundog and he came all the way from Stranraer to join us as a puppy. Pippin was born on the 9/9/10 and was sadly killed in a road traffic accident on 28/02/14. Maple, one of Willow and Lancer's pups was born on the 2/5/11. Very distressingly, Maple died on 3/7/14 in her final stages of labour with her first litter. Bramble joined us as a 2 and a half year old in November 2014 from Yorkshire and Lancer is her father, Bramble very sadly passed away in Feb 2017. Amber and Hazel were born on 17/7/14, their father being Murray, Lancers half - brother. Sadly We lost Hazel after a short illness in June 2020. Kingston is Rowan's son, with his mother being another working goldie called Tess who lives in North Devon. Kingston joined us in January 2018 at the age of 9 weeks. Young Willow (named after her Grandmother) was born in January 2020. Our latest is young Maple (named after her Auntie) and she was born in April 2021

About us:

We are a small kennel with 4 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.
