Kidston Golden Retrievers live here.

Kidston Cottage is situated next to Norrington Common in the rural Wiltshire countryside. It is ten miles from Bath and eleven miles from the M4, junction 17. We settled here in 1982 to have more room for our growing number of goldens. Although they all live in the house, they have a third of an acre to play in. The dogs,Connor 12 Brie 8 Darcey 5 Cassie 1 and Evie the new baby in the family live with our three cats.

Cassie,our beautiful show bitch is just the type of golden that we love. She has the look of the eight generations of her ancestors that we bred here at Kidston.

Connor is without a doubt one of our kennels favourites,he has a fantastic outlook on life and enjoys all aspects of being a dog ,which when all is said and done is what pets are for.

We are kennel club accredited breeders. Our love of and addiction to Golden Retrievers started with the arrival of Amber Chapman, Pennard Golden Easter of Kidston.This was in 1979 and 30 years later there is still no sign of a cure.It is our belief that Amber should have carried a warning that Golden Retrievers can seriously damage your wealth. Our kennels foundation stock were Tiffany, Braydan Lisa Lehtonen of Kidston and Harvey, Pinecrest Pioneer of Kidston. Subsequently we have owned numerous dogs and bitches who have given us many happy and sad memories. It would be unfair to highlight individuals as all played a major role in establishing our kennel.
The aim of our breeding programme has always been to produce sound stock complying to the breed standard using dogs and bitches within the recommended criteria for eye testing and hip scores.The main requirement has always been and will continue to be good temperament.We are members of The Golden Retriever Club and abide by their code of ethics in all matters concerning our dogs.Reference to our dogs pedigrees shown, will indicate how our current stock relate back to our originals.
We have enjoyed reasonable success in the show ring with most dogs shown achieving best of breed awards and two bred here getting their Junior Warrant.
We welcome enquiries regarding puppies with help and advice readily available.
