Puppies are exposed to many different textures, sounds and experiences as well as interaction with stable adult dogs.

Health

Both parent dogs are hip and elbow x-rayed, heart tested and eyes tested- all performed by specialist vets. I also DNA test for the full range of diseases the breed can be tested for. Puppies are wormed regularly, raised on high quality food, and vet checked at 6 weeks of age.

Home environment

I do not have kennels- my dogs live with us in our home. Puppies are whelped in the home and stay there until about 6 or 7 weeks old, then move to a larger puppy area with access to a larger outdoor run. We live on acreage so our puppies and dogs have plenty of room to roam. I take care to keep the puppy area…

A little about us

I am a dog trainer, groomer and breeder, so I'm all about dogs! I adore Golden Retrievers and have had them for over 25 years. I chose to go through the more difficult process of becoming an ANKC/Dogs Australia breeder (rather than the easy to join, more recently developed associations) because I'm dedicated to not…

Why we got involved in breeding

It has been a long held dream of mine to breed Goldens and many years in the making to get to this point. I aim to preserve and improve this wonderful breed for future generations.

Our special touch

I am passionate about breeding Golden Retrievers that are healthy, sound and fit the breed standard, but most of all have excellent temperaments. I aim to breed and raise trainable, social and confident puppies. Our dogs live with us in the home and our puppies are raised in the home, with lots of interaction and…
