Our Aim as breeders

Our aim as breeders, is to breed healthy Golden Retrievers that are both beautiful to look at and a joy to live with.

Temperament has always been our number one priority.

We want our puppies to be a loved and loving member of a family, and to be utterly reliable and trustworthy.

We also believe passionately in the dual purpose Golden Retriever. 

We want brains, as well as beauty.

So we have tried, over the years, to select stud dogs for our girls that have been successful in the Show ring and been worked by their owners in the field, thereby preserving intelligence, natural working aptitude and a will to please – biddability- in their puppies.

   

As well as the dogs mentioned above, bred for conformation and the ability to work, we also have a line of working-strain puppies of pure Field Trial breeding. 

Today, to compete successfully at the highest level in Field Trials, running against Labradors, a dog of slimmer build, and racier lines is needed. So we have established two different breeding lines within our ‘kennel’. 

For these we have bred exclusively from dogs which have shown exceptional ability both in the shooting field and in Field Trials. – our pedigrees include many Field Trial Champions and Field Trial winners. The considerations here in breeding are slightly different where more emphasis is placed on intelligence, speed, style and good nose-work. However, some of our Field Trial dogs have even won well in the show ring too! 

We do not often have field-strain puppies for sale and require that the homes they do go to are very active and the owners prepared to engage in some discipline where the puppies are mentally stretched.  They are specifically bred to be super intelligent and physically very active, and they need more than a sedentary life style


Either way we aim to breed strong healthy puppies free from inherited problems.

We have screened our dogs using the Kennel Club / British Veterinary Association schemes for eyes and hips and elbows since their inception.
