Kate Stead

North Yorkshire
England

Breeder of:

  • Golden Retriever
  • Cocker Spaniel
  • Curly Coated Retriever

Our dogs are our pets first and foremost. As well as fabulous working dogs.
We are home to:

4 x Golden Retrievers
1 x Curly Coated Retriever
3 x Cocker Spaniels

Our dogs live a varied and fun life joining in with us and our day to day life. We have a young son which they all spend time with. We live on a mixed beef, sheep and arable farm. Our dogs are all heavily exposed to other animals, including going out riding with our young son on his pony. Through the winter months the girls work as a picking up team with handler/owner Kate on local shoots

Our farm is located on the edge of the river swale, through the summer months our girls head to the river swale most days and are all competent swimmers.

Kate also owns and runs her own Luxury dog boarding facility, the Holmecliffe girls are always around and involved with this. They spend lots of time around dogs of all shapes sizes and breeds.

Kate runs a active account for the Holmecliffe girls. If you wanted to see anymore pictures, videos or updates please feel free to give her a follow @holmecliffeworkingdogs


Due to Kates lifestyle now she is at home full time with her dogs and any perspective puppies. This really is a labour of love and a massive passion in Kates life.
