We have three wonderful, loving goldens (Katie on left and Sophie on the right, and Shelby below) that have given us so much joy over the past couple of years.  Sure, one has been more of a challenge than the other, but we won't mention any names!! 

Katie retired Spring 2007, after producing 2 beautiful litters of puppies.

Shelby received all of her genetic clearances this Spring and will now be a part of our breeding program.

Believe it or not, these crazy girls like swimming in the freezing cold ponds even in the winter. 

You would think they would stay out of the water when it is close to having ice on it, but no, they love it that much!  The picture to the right is of the girls swimming in one of the ponds in mid April and Sophie had 3 week old puppies at the time!  Crazy girls!!!!

Max (Kantung Nugget of Gold) is the stud dog that we have used with Sophie and is owned by Doris Milligan (pictured with Max on the left).    He has also proven himself time and time again with other breeders that I know.  Max is a wonderful big boy that has a temperament only a golden could have and is quite a looker to boot!  He is a lovely medium golden colour and has a beautiful big head!  If you are interested in using Max for stud, please contact Doris.  Max's Pedigree

Next, we have Katie.  Katie will be having her first litter of puppies in June,  and I'm sure she will continue with her swimming routine.   

Katie is a little more energetic than Sophie and spends most of her day playing, swimming and lap training with the trout.  She has the funniest personallity and wins hearts wherever she goes!  Katie loves the ponds and fishing so much that one day while relaxing by the pool with some guests, Katie brought us a lovely trout!!  I think she was just so proud of herself that  she actually caught one, she had to come and show it off.  Luckily the fish was still alive and we were able to get it back in the pond quickly.  So much for relaxing!! 

Poor Katie, in the photo at the top of this paragraph (one with both girls in it), Katie has been shaven to keep her cool in our hot summers.  Believe me, she has a beautiful flowing coat the rest of the year, although she is a little lighter in colour than Sophie.  Hard to believe they are out of the same litter, they are different in so many ways!!

Meet Sunkozi Vincera MacDuff (MacDuff),  our newest addition to the family.   MacDuff came to us from Carol and Randy Ethridge of Masonridge Retrievers near Brockville, Ontario. 

                                                                He is a great big gentle giant who wouldn't hurt a flea.  MacDuff is very people oriented and wants nothing more than to lay at your feet.   We have found that MacDuff just loves puppies and kids.  Oh yes,  there is also the issue with his "PINK" bunny.  Don't let that fool you,  this big boy is going to make a great addition to our breeding program,    and we just can't wait to see what his kids look like!  Check back for our Spring 2006 litters.  

MacDuff has been shown in conformation and has accumulated 7 points towards his Canadian Championship.  His first weekend out he took Reserve Winners Male.  MacDuff's Pedigree.
