Palton Golden Retrievers live with James and I in Trimpley, Worcestershire. I had our first Golden Retriever back in 1973. Unfortunately an unregistered bitch and therefore was unable to be shown or bred from, but she was a wonderful friend and companion. In 1980 I bought another bitch Contessa of Palton (Tranquillity Token of Regina ex Mornmist Quelle Belle) whoI 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 family pet, companion, show and working dog with the true golden temperament.

I have also owned and bred Bernese Mountain Dogs in the past as my second breed, but sadly my last Bern died in 2017.

I have always admired the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and in March 2007 we bought Meka. She qualified for Crufts in 2008/2009/2010. Although a favourite breed of mine and a dog I had a lot of fun with I ceased breeding them in 2017 when found out that SRMA was in the lines I had bred from. Therefore I no longer breed NSDTs.

We do consistently show our Golden Retrievers. Currently we are showing Springstein Star at Night Over Palton who won her first Res CC last year at Paignton and many 1sts at champ shows. Also our Swedish Import Grain of Gold's Summer Feeling at Palton who gained his Junior Warrant 2014 aged 15 months. We are now also campaigning our Rusian Import Hipnotic Energy is Soliny Dolnca at Palton who has had a very good start to her show career.
We are now Licensed Breeders with our Local Council and comply to all relevant rules and regulations. Our dogs are all health tested to comply with Kennel Club advice.
