Hello, I'm Rachel D.
We’re a small, family-based breeder nestled in the heart of outback Queensland, about 40km from Roma. Life out here moves a little slower, and that’s exactly how we like it—because raising puppies the right way takes time, love, and patience. Our Golden Retrievers aren’t just dogs—they’re family. We breed for temperament, health, and versatility, always putting the wellbeing of our dogs first. Because we’re not a large-scale operation, we don’t have puppies available year-round. Every litter is carefully planned, raised, and nurtured as part of our family life. Our dogs grow up on wide open acreage, surrounded by the happy chaos of kids, cats, cows, chickens, ducks, geese, and other dogs. They are amongst nature and fresh air. They live both inside and outside, come along on family holidays, and are loved from the moment they open their eyes. We’re a young, active family with four kids aged 18, 16, 14, and 9—all of whom play a hands-on role in raising our puppies. From day one, our pups are handled with care, exposed to a variety of animals, sounds, and experiences that help them become well-rounded and confident companions. Health is non-negotiable for us. All of our dogs are extensively tested—hips and elbows scored, DNA profiled for known breed conditions, hearts monitored yearly, and eyes checked and cleared. We are committed to improving the breed and carefully select each pairing to strengthen our bloodlines and breed out hereditary issues. Our focus is on creating healthy, happy, well-adjusted dogs who thrive in loving homes. Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. If you think one of our puppies might be a fit for your family, we’d love to hear from you. Please apply via our website for a faster response. Thanks, Oakover
