A little about us

I’m a third generation breeder and I love animals in general. Besides my beautiful golden I rescue many animals and love to spend time with all of them together.

Why we got involved in breeding

I got involved in breeding because my mum was a breeder and I loved growing up with Puppys and helping my mum with all the hard work. It really interests me and I just love working with animals.

Our special touch

My special touch is helping make family’s have a memorable opportunity to add a companion to their homes.
