Abel is a handsome, dark and smaller built (around 26kg) athletic male working line golden with an excellent top line and balanced conformation.
He is an absolute gentleman of a dog with a heart of gold. The type of dog that makes you want to melt, so loving and always wanting to be by your side.

He is the kindest soul, not a bad bone in his body. He loves a hug, has an exceptional bombproof temperament and huge will to please.

Abel has excellent health scoring, with an updated 2025 clear eye certificate. He is DNA clear on six of the main DNA tests for golden retrievers which means any offspring he produces cannot ever be affected by these conditions, regardless of the status of the dam.

Abel has been DNA tested for shedding and carries a copy of the non shedding gene which means this will be much lower compared to golden retrievers who carry two copies of the shedding gene. Shedding is prevalent in the breed, so this result means a lower incidence and more manageable.

Abel is a fast dog and excellent marker. He has lovely hunt action and has been very easy to train, bright and enthusiastic yet also a lovely balance of quiet and sensible at home. Abel is outstanding with children and a perfect adult role model for young dogs, he charms anyone who meets him and often there is a queue at the local pub for an Abel hug where he is very loved!

Abel is trained as a gundog and shows all the attributes and strengths one likes to see in the breed, quiet and patient. Abel learnt to walk to heel off lead in less than two days with a clicker, he is just the type of dog that wants to do anything for you and picks up things so quickly. Fast out and back, clean pick up and superb hunting ability, he never gives up until he finds.

His extremely biddable nature, keenness and excellent off switch make the perfect combination in a working golden retriever. He is so easy to live with and loves everyone.

Abel is an experienced stud dog who really knows his job and is very reliable. He is producing stunning puppies with beautiful temperaments, proving very bright and trainable.

Frozen and chilled semen can also available on request. Abel has had his semen evaluated with excellent results. Comprehensive semen report available on request.
