Bruce's involvement with dogs has spanned more than thirty years. He and his wife have been active members of the Grey Bruce Kennel and Obedience Club, Golden Retriever Club of Canada, Golden Retriever Club of Greater Toronto, and Bruce is now a lifetime member of the Canadian Kennel Club.

In his words: "We beam with pride whether our dogs have just won a major show event, an obedience trial, or provided their owners with reasons to smile."

Please visit our Breeder List if you are looking for a well-bred golden puppy from a reputable breeder.

Please Note:  Regardless of the terminology used today (English / British / European) and the transformations that have occurred in the breed over generations, and throughout geographical locations since its origins in the Scottish Highlands, we are promoting only pure-bred golden retrievers that are of a particular type or style. They are not rare and they are not white. Thank you.
