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.

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.…
