ANKC Registered Breeder · North Brisbane, QLD

Raised with a huge heart, one litter at a time.

We're a small, newly formed breeder with a deep love of this beautiful breed — raising health-tested Golden Retrievers from UK & European bloodlines, in our home, as part of our family. We are eternally grateful to have the backing, support and ongoing mentorship of some of the most experienced and dedicated breeders in Queensland — the likes of Askaval, Alubyc & Ayaimah.

Our story

It all began with one perfectly joyous girl.

After a wonderful experience getting our beautiful girl, Madi, from a fellow ANKC registered breeder, we decided to follow our hearts and do the same. We welcomed our first litter of puppies on the 2nd of April 2024, and our second litter on the 22nd February 2025. We are so enjoying being an integral part of the Golden Retriever community in Queensland now.

We breed only with UK & European bloodlines, guided closely by our breeder mentors to ensure that we contribute positively to the gene pool.

Whilst the puppies are growing with us in their first 8 weeks, future "pawrents" enjoy continuous updates via a private Facebook group — watching their puppy grow and learn in an enriching environment until 8 weeks old, when they head off to their forever homes.

We cannot wait to share the joy with you!

Bred Responsibly

Tested first. Bred second. Always.
Health, temperament, and a soft place to land.

As an ANKC registered breeder, Dogs Queensland member, and an active Golden Retriever Club Queensland member, our dogs adhere to all ANKC guidelines and have passed all mandatory medical tests required.

Hips & elbows

Outstanding hip and elbow scores run in the family. Madi and Amber both score excellently — a direct reflection of the quality genetics we seek out in every breeding decision.

Eyes & heart

Each of our breeding girls is assessed and cleared by a veterinary ophthalmologist and cardiologist, giving us confidence in the health of every litter we bring into the world.

DNA tested

All our breeding girls are DNA tested for their ICT-A status (Ichthyosis) and PRA 1 & 2 status (Progressive Retinal Atrophy).

"Watching puppies grow and learn — then seeing them live their best lives with their families — that is our greatest joy."
