Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
Golden retrievers are well loved for their placid and gentle nature so thats exactly the type of environment they experience from birth. Pups are breed in a loving and nurturing family environment with constant human interactions and cuddles. Ensuring our pups are shown nothing but warmth and affection from children…
Health
All Pups arrive to their new homes vet checked, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and flea and tick treated. Both parents have had hip and elbow tests and heart checks. Pups are weighed daily in the initial few weeks to ensure adequate growth and weight gain. Pups and mother receive high quality nutrient dense diets…
Home environment
When pups are near, our mother dog has her own private space to nest in a lounge room environment, with us by her side throughout the whole process. Pups are then born with our constant supervision to support mum if needed and ensure pups are safe, comfortable, warm, and to ensure all pups are equally sharing mum…

Genetic Test
Congenital eye malformations in Golden Retrievers result from a mutation of the SIX6 gene. These malformations can present as a range of different eye conditions, ranging from poor vision to blindness in one or both eyes. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying the affected gene.
Genetic Test
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a congenital skin disease that causes fragile skin, blisters, ulceration, and skin scarring. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Genetic Test
This is a serious genetic skin disease that causes flaky dry skin and footpad problems. It can occur in many breeds but is fairly common in Golden Retrievers. There is a DNA test to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this disease and could pass it on to their puppies.
Genetic Test
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) in dogs is a type of genetic eye disease causing deterioration of the retina and eventually, blindness. There are a variety of sub-types of PRA, which can occur in various breeds. There are various DNA tests available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Skeletal Dysplasia is an inherited form of dwarfism which causes the leg bones to grow much shorter than is proportional for the body. Affected legs will be short and slightly bowed outwards. Often the forelimbs are more affected than the hindlimbs, which can make the condition more difficult to spot in subtle cases. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.

About the Breeder
A little about us
We had our first breeding experience many years ago with red and blue heelers. We loved them for their intelligence and loyalty however after having children we realised that we wanted a breed where temperament was more predictable. Being a versatile family friendly dog was most important to us at that stage in life.…
Why we got involved in breeding
We believe Goldens are the most versatile companion for anyone looking for a best friend. Be the athletic energy or be the gentle and the calm. Whether it be sitting next to you watching the kids at local sports on weekends or trips to the beach or river then home again to curled up in front of the fire kind of dog.…
