Breeder of:
- Golden Retriever
We have been showing and breeding goldens for over 20 years and have enjoyed considerable success in the show ring across UK and Europe.
I have been judging since 2015 with previous appointments in the UK, Estonia, Netherlands and Spain, and have been invited to judge my first Championship shows in 2025.
Our litters are carefully planned with health and temperament always a priority. All our dogs are fully health tested.
Currently we have two goldens living with us in our home in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Although successful at shows, our goldens are first and foremost our beloved pets and family members. They accompany us everywhere, from the pub to a day at the beach.
We do not believe goldens should be kept in kennels.

Lotte absolutely loves the show ring. This photo is her after she took Best In Show at The Golden Retriever Club open show in Nov 2023 under judge Di Cruttwell (Ashbyglen). She then went on to take the CC at their Championship Show in July 2024 under Peter Drury (Bencoe). Proud as ever!

Pippin was our Once In A Lifetime dog and is behind most of our breeding.
He had the most typical, happy and goofy temperament, an absolute delight to live with. We miss him dearly.
Pippin enjoyed great success in the show ring across UK and Europe, and was a true showman in every sense.
He won 13 CCs, 7 RCCs and 2 championship show groups in the UK, 2 International Champion titles (CIB & CIE), Vice World Winner title at the World Dog Show in Helsinki 2014 and Best in Show at The Golden Retriever Club championship show 2021, amongst many other successes.
We now enjoy following his offspring across the world, including across Europe, Australia and South Africa.
