The puppies from Violet's first litter have now all left for their lovely new homes. They were a joy to raise, and Violet was a most attentive mother!

For her first litter, we chose John & Brenda Taylor’s handsome dog, Eccles (Alibren Eccles at Tannadice JW), a lovely boy with an excellent temperament who has sired some beautiful litters over the past few years. He also gave Violet’s aunt Iris her final litter in 2021, and their daughter Ríona stayed within the family.

Violet has a hip score of 4:5, and elbow grade of 0:0 and a clear eye certificate under the KC/BVA scheme (date of last examination July 2023, with a 0 grade for gonioscopy) – see results of health tests above. She is also "clear by inheritance" for the eye conditions GR_PRA 1 & 2. Eccles has a hip score of 5:6 and an elbow grade of 0:0. His last eye examination was in October 2023, with a 0 for gonioscopy in October 2022 (currently gonioscopy is only examined for every 3 years). He is also "clear by inheritance" for GR_PRA 1 & 2 which means so are his and Violet’s puppies.

As always, the puppies were raised indoors with controlled access to an area of our garden when they were old enough (weather permitting), and in addition to their mother Violet, the puppies could be seen with their Great-granny Chummy, Granny Winnie and cousin Hebe (Hebe is the daughter of Winnie's older full sister) – all of whom live indoors as family. Their older relatives also helped with the socialisation - we're very fortunate in that they all love puppies and indeed, other dogs!

Further information about Violet could be found on her own page, and about Kindrogan Golden Retrievers on our main page, including the fact that our puppies always have their KC registrations endorsed "progeny not eligible for registration" and "not eligible for the issue of an export pedigree" – we never send puppies to homes overseas even if we already know the enquirers.

Wherever possible, we look for homes with previous experience of dogs, ideally Golden Retrievers, and we were fortunate in the lovely homes which enquired about the litter, providing information from which we were able to make our initial shortlist. For us, it never has been, and never will be a case of "first come, first served" when finding the right permanent, loving homes for our precious puppies.

Thank you to everyone who showed an interest in Violet's litter.
