We visited puppys out of Keylam & Pepsi at Kennel "Born to be free"

Such a lovely pack   

Memoriable days at SRA in Velden/Franken:

Keylam got  "Bester Rüde" and one time Best of Breed (BOB) und next time Best Opposite Sex (BOS). 

Little Bree can call herself now  "Best Youngster in Show".

An Nia managed to win her class one time and one time j´she took the second place.

Of course we are proud of our Showteam!

The Golden Retriever Club of Scotland hosts a special 5-day event every 5 years at the birthplace of the breed - the ruins of Guisachan House, Tomich, Glen Affric, Scotland. Each time, the number of participants increases. They really come from all over the world, from all continents. And all of them are enthusiastic lovers of the breed.

5 years ago we were without our dogs on a flying visit for 2 days. We came home with the firm wish that we want to be there next time with our dogs. And from 10 to 14 July this year, on the occasion of the 155th birthday of the Golden Retriever, it was time again - the Guisachen Gathering 2023!  

Our little Bree and her mom Joyce were lovingly cared for by the Little Violet's over the duration of the trip and together with Kate, Keylam, Kayla and Nia we fulfilled our wish. Around the Gathering week, we put on a Scotland holiday that got us excited about this wonderful and incomparable country.

The Gathering with an informal welcome evening full of fun games with a dog, the afternoon tea and the Scottish evening were wonderful opportunities to get to know each other and exchange ideas with the participants. The night walk to the ruins of Guisachan House accompanied by bagpipe sounds and the lighting of the ruins in different colors, in conjunction with the toast to Lord Tweedmouth, the founding father of our breed, was a moment with goosebumps. And also the many great dogs at the final champion show were breathtaking.

Our highlight was the afternoon picnic at the ruins and the "big picture". All dogs present should be united for a photo in front of the ruins. It was indescribable! 466 Golden Retrievers in one picture! And the four of us were there :)

In addition to Guisachen House, we visited the statue in honor of our breed in Tomich and of course the memorial stone at the ruins. It was a terrific 5 days - "just the place to be" for all those who love the Golden Retriever.

On 21.05., our Nia successfully completed the FdW and the Formwert of the GRC. We have already checked her health and now there are only a few small steps left until she is approved as a breeding.

We are infinitely happy and are already working on Nia's own page on our homepage ;)

At the end of April we spent a few days with the camper in Croatia.

In Dubrovnik & Zadar we visited several CACIB exhibitions and took Keylam back as a Croatian GRAN CHAMPION.

It was a wonderful time!

Our little pack got bigger.

Joyce has brought home her daughter Bree - Little Violet's to Innaffaire ́s - from her last litter at the Little Violet's.

Bree ist aus der Verpaarung mit Elkarima´s Golden Perro Milagroso - Duke

We have decided! Olaf- Daily Rays Trust in You - becomes the father of our B-litter.

Olaf is a young, very relaxed and self-contained male, who convinced us with his cheerfulness and his pedigree.

We were able to get to know him as a puppy and have always followed his development closely.

Details about this planned litter can be found in our breeding section

After a 2-year break, we spent the turn of the year 2022/2023 in Denmark again.

A real "Innaffaire's holiday" that we enjoyed very much!
