I have been breeding dogs for 17 years now. I started breeding pedigree Golden Retrievers, Flat Coated Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. About 10 years ago resulted in my first litter of Goldador’s (Labrador x Golden Retriever) although devastated at the time being a bit of a pedigree snob I soon realised that this mistake was good news for my customers, many of whom have children/teenagers with additional needs, as my crossed dogs tend to be calmer than their pedigree counterparts making great companion dogs. Unlike many breeders I keep all my dogs once they retire at around 5-6 years old, as all my girls have been bred here so have a life forever with their family and friends. I buy my stud dogs in to ensure new blood and health test them as I have no family history for them so it’s important. I feel it’s very important to offer ongoing support for everyone who gets a Brucklay puppy so each litter has its own WhatApp group as well as direct support from myself on an individual basis.
