Stuff about us.....

My partner Marlow & I share our home with five dogs (4 goldies & 1 pekingese) & thirteen fish.  Although we are still in the honeymoon period of this crazy world of dog sport we have caught the bug & have found something we enjoy doing together as a couple.  Marlow is the chaffeur & navigator while I do all the bits & pieces involved in getting the dogs ready for the show & taking care of the all the mundane stuff like feeding & cleaning etc you know the "unglamourous side" of it all.  As newcomers we have had some success and some wonderful highlights.

Since leaving home (22yrs ago) I have had all sorts of breeds both pedigree & the good ole mongrel cross - there are too many to mention -  the important thing is I have never lived without a dog & I don't think I ever could.  I have also bred & shown Cockatiels. Marlow also hails from family whom has a genuine love of dogs & birds.

Why Goldies -  I wanted a bred from my Grandmothers homeland - Scotland. 

Why showing - because it was something I always wanted to do as a child but never got around to & a near death experience made me create a "bucket list" & at the tender age of 39 I deciced to pursue dog sport. 

We have been lucky enough to have owned several Goldies.  However, we now only have the four that we show on a regular basis. As they say Goldies are like chocolates you can't stop at just one. Whist Finlay, Candy, Bear & Panda are with us permanently Laddy, Zealand & Star are with us in spirit!!!!

We have recently ventured into the Pekingese world  & have become completely captivated by this breed from China. We have managed to achieve alot with our boy Khan in a short period of time and we are confident his future is extremely bright.

We are extremely discriminative when it comes to the breeding of our dogs; as we should be.  We did not enter the world of dog sport to "turn a buck" !!!!! Hence, rest assured everything we contimplate has had a lot of thought & discussion & ultimately evolves from a place of genuinely wanting to improve the respective breed & naturally ourselves.

We hope you enjoy our dogs.
