An eye certificate means the breeder has had their breeding dogs examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist, to confirm they are not affected by any eye conditions which may be passed down genetically to their puppies. If relevant for the breed, it also includes running DNA tests to confirm the dog is not a genetic carrier of hereditary eye diseases, such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). It includes breeders who have participated in the Australian Canine Eye Scheme (ACES).

A heart certificate indicates that a breeding dog has been screened for heart disease such as DCM or MMVD. Auscultation alone is only accepted as a screening method if performed by a veterinary cardiologist or a GP vet certifying an OFA Basic Cardiac Screen. Echocardiography is an accepted screening method via GP or cardiologist.

Why we got involved in breeding

I am fifth generation of being on the land, blessed with a lifetime of being surrounded by animals and plenty of space. We have always had Border Collies for working the cattle and whilst the children were little and I wasn't involved with working on the cattle property as much, I thought breeding some beautiful…

Our special touch

My special touch I suppose is the fact that I absolutely adore my Goldies, I consider them my fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth children!! Nothing is too much trouble when it comes to looking after my dogs.
