Cailloch Golden Retrievers was established in 1999, when 'Reme' (Amilone Remembrance) joined our family, simply as a pet. We were infected by the Golden Retriever Virus, and that means you can't just stop at one! Reme was joined after a year by her half sister 'Callie' (Amilone Caledonia For Cailloch). In 2002 Reme had a litter of puppies, and 'Meggie' (Cailloch Meg O'The Mill) stayed with us. In March 2003, we chose Kim Ellis' 'Rowan' (Tenfield Border Patrol JW) as a mate for Callie, and bred our first show litter, from which we kept 'Corran' (Cailloch Flamboyant). Kim asked us for 'Chase' (Cailloch Racer To Tenfield JW), Corran's litter sister, and both these girls have done us proud in the show ring. Callie gave us a beautiful second litter to Kim Ellis' 'Tor' (Tenfield Border Rambler JW) from which 'Chloe' (Cailloch Prima-Donna) went to live with Angus & Sylvia Perry as their show girl. Sadly Callie was taken from us after a short and brutal battle in June 2006, and we miss her very much.
Corran was exhibited at Crufts in 2005, where she was shortlisted to the last 8 in a class of 27 bitches, & also in 2006. She has taken us all over the country winning many red rosettes at open & championship shows. She presented us with a beautiful litter of puppies to 'Hugo' (Ir Ch/ShCh Willowlawn Faberge JW) in September 2006. We have kept 'Teal' (Cailloch Spinnaker) from that litter. Due to holidays, family committments and moving home in 2007, Teal has only attended two shows as a puppy.
