AMIRENE

By Ch Eyevalley Cannyman out of Amirene Virtuous, "Sean" is a joy to own. He is loving, intelligent and full of character. He is an excellent stud dog and passes on his conformation, intelligence, bone and substance.
His hip score is 4:6, well below breed average and he has clear eyes and elbows. He is siring large litters of lovely puppies and so far his progeny also are scoring low on hips.

He has had a fantastic 2007 in the show ring and has won his way out of Post Graduate at Championship show level. He is at stud to approved bitches. Please contact for further advice and information.

By Sh Ch Kimwhany O' Roarke at Ritzilyn out of Sh Ch. Rosaceae Ivory Lace at Amirene, "Louie" is everyone's favourite. He is big, blond and beautifull . He loves everybody and everything , his eyes never stop smiling and his tail never stops wagging. His puppies are winning well at home and abroad (see web site www.amirene.com)
His hip score is 2:3 and he has clear eyes and elbows. He has gone to Norway for 6 months and will return in July 2007.

"Breeze" is a daughter of Amirene Kindred Spirit, the Reserve Best Golden Retriever Dog at Crufts 2006. (See Ron & Heather Crawford - Strormford)
Her hip score is 6:4 and she has clear eyes and elbows. She had a lovely litter to Amirene Some Kind of loving in January 2007. She has now changed coat, and after qualifying for Crufts 2008 by winning Post Graduate at Northern Golden Retriever Championship Show in October, she will concentrate on her show career.
Her dad, Amirene Kindred Spirit now has a further 2 CC's and Breeze and all at Amirene are holding our breath for his 3rd and his title for 2008.

"Lace" has now retired from the show ring having won 6 CC's.

My devotion to the breed began 33 years ago, in 1974 when I bought my first Golden Retriever, Sam (" Stalyhills Figaro ") from Mrs Freda Broadbent of the Stalyhills kennel in Stalybridge. He was a handsome chap with an excellent pedigree, and although first and foremost my pet, we joined a ring craft training class and did a bit of showing in the North East of England. We did rather well, winning many first prizes and Best of Breeds. I was bitten by the showing bug!

In 1977 I bought my first Golden Retriever bitch, Purdy ( "Stalyhills Miss Avenger" ) from the same breeder. Purdy was pick of bitches from a litter of 10. I chose her for her character, excellent neck and shoulder conformation and movement. (The qualities so necessary for showing and breeding) She was to be my foundation bitch and all present day AMIRENES can be traced back to her. I bred my first litter in 1779 and and the Kennal Club affix of "AMIRENE" began.

Throughout the years I have been devoted to the breed, involved in showing, working, breeding and judging. I endeavour to breed the true gentle, loving, biddable temperament so typical of the Golden Retriever. I strive to retain the intelligence and true working ability so vital for a gundog. My dogs are my family and I only breed a few litters a year.

I have bred many Champions both in UK and abroad. Sh Ch Amirene King Eider of Davern & Sh Ch Amirene Pacifique being particularly influencial in the UK.

An Amirene King Eider son, Dual Champion Amirene Intrepid became a show Champion in Switzerland and went on to prove his true dual purpose by winning the Open Stake field trial in France, thus making him up to a full DUAL CHAMPION. He has successful progeny throughout Europe. Several of my Goldens have gone to Scandinavia where they have proved themselves both at showing and working.

All my Goldens are hip & elbow scored and their eyes are checked annually. I have supported the KC/BVA scemes since their inception. My present day stud dogs have low hip scores and clear elbows. The girls are all below breed average.

I have been judging for over 20 years and travel the world judging Goldens. My future highlights in the judging sphere is 2008 when I have been invited to judge at the World Show in Stockholm and 2010 when I have been given the honour to judge Golden Retrievers at CRUFTS.

My goldens are my life. I usually have a waiting list for puppies and vet my prospective puppy buyers carefully. I give advice and support throughout the pups life and my AMIRENE family grows with every pup sold. Be prepared to sign a contract. I do everything in my power to sell only healthy, sound puppies but they do not come with a written guarantee! In return I expect my puppy buyers to love and care for the puppy, and keep in touch with me regularly.
