Breeder of:
- Golden Retriever
Owner of:
- Large Munsterlander
We have been showing and breeding Golden Retrievers for over 30 years.
Our dogs have had considerable success at all levels in the show ring, including winning at Crufts and we have owned a Dog World/Pedigree Top Golden Retriever.
We are proud that several of them have also proved their working ability by gaining their Show Gundog working Certificates. We have owned 11 dogs who have won their stud book numbers and 7 with Junior Warrants.
We both judge at Championship Show level & Julie has also awarded CAC/CACIB at Championship level internationally.
We strive to produce healthy, happy dogs with the true Golden Retriever temperament. All our dogs are health screened under the KC/BVA schemes.
All our dogs live indoors as part of our family. We do not consider Golden Retrievers are a kennel dog as they are very sociable dogs & enjoy human company too much.

Typical Messano Golden Puppies

Our aim is to breed puppies that are balanced, both physically and mentally and conform with the required Golden Retriever breed standard.
These puppies are shown in our puppy room at around 6-weeks of age.
They have accommodation inside our home, but also have access to the outside run.
