PALTON GOLDEN RETRIEVERS

Palton Golden Retrievers live with James and I in Trimpley, Worcestershire. We had our first Golden Retriever back in 1973, sadly Bridie was an unregistered bitch and therefore was unable to be shown or bred, but she was a wonderful friend and companion. In 1980 we bought another bitch Contessa of Palton (Tranquillity Token of Regina ex Mornmist Quelle Belle) who we had great success with in the ring and obedience and later went on to be the foundation bitch of Palton Goldens.

Our dogs are pets and much loved, but also are working dogs, capable of a days picking up in the shooting season which they love to do. They are the true dual-purpose golden. Able to be a wonderful house dog, companion, show and working dog with the true golden temperament.

In 2005 we qualified Palton’s Summer Romance and Palton’s Moment in Time, for Crufts 2006. This season we have a newcomer to the ring Thyme’s baby sister Tia, Palton’s Playtime Again (Gracewood Castaway to Putjade ex Palton’s Vanity Fair) who we have high hopes to follow in her sister’s footsteps.

Also living with Palton Goldens are our Bernese Mountain Dogs, Pepper, Perfect Girl for Palton and her daughter Meg, Palton’s Picture Perfect, and Archie, Arinley Made to Measure for Palton. Pepper qualified for Crufts 2005 and was also placed 4th in a class of 18 in Post Graduate. Pepper and Archie both qualified for Crufts 2006. They also have a wonderful temperament, and excellent hip and elbow scores. Archie and Pepper had a litter in November 2005 and we have retained a bitch so hopefully she will be in the ring later this year.

All our dogs hold current eye certificates and hip scored and of course have wonderful temperaments. Puppies are sometimes available.
