A little about us
My name is Caitlin and I own small kennel based in Berwick, VIC. I have been passionate about animals since I was little. I got my first job at a pet store when I was 16 years old and have stayed in the industry ever since. This is also how I met my husband Jonathan, we are now married with two beautiful children.…
Why we got involved in breeding
I have been involved in both the pet and show world for a long time and fell in love with Golden Retrievers. I want to breed to not only better the breed for the show ring, but to give people family pets which are healthy, happy, confident and are easy to live with.
Our special touch
I am a qualified dog trainer with over 10 years experience in teaching dogs and running puppy school. I also enjoy being part of the Golden Retriever Club of Victoria’s Committee, helping run events and updating the club website.
