Thanks to everyone who attended this morning’s info session. We hope you got something out of the day.

Shout out to the good folk at Bellevue Cottage, who not only put up with all the dogs in their workshop room but happily cleaned up all the golden fibres of love they left behind and then gave all six goldens who had worked the crowd for the best part of the morning complimentary puppachinos!!

They lapped it up after a morning of schmoozing.

Coming to the GRCWA Puppy Info Session?

Bring your questions. We would love to help.
You might like to ask about:
🐾 How do I find a responsible breeder?
🐾 What health testing should I see?
🐾 How long should I expect to wait?
🐾 What should puppies experience before going home?
🐾 What is normal Golden Retriever behaviour?
🐾 How do I avoid puppy scams or poor breeding practices?

There are no silly questions. Choosing a puppy is a big decision, and good information makes the journey much easier.

And yes, the lint roller suggestion still stands.

It’s June! Winter is here and our new photo challenge theme has ticked over.

This month’s theme is:
‘ENTRANCE’

You can interpret this any way you like. Use props if you want and get imaginative, just remember to keep it dog friendly and safe.

Here’s our June entry- Reggie likes to make an entrance.

He greets us at the door with a stick or a toy in his mouth, he brings in little leaves and rocks from the yard and carefully places them on the couch. And he often collects sticks on his walks that he then insists on bringing inside.

Your turn
Entrance- noun or
Entrance- verb

GO!

A cute puppy photo is not enough.

When you are looking for a Golden Retriever puppy, it is important to know what sits behind the fluff.

A responsible breeder should be able to talk openly about:

🐾 Health testing
🐾 Temperament
🐾 Pedigree and planning
🐾 Puppy raising and socialisation
🐾 Ongoing support
🐾 The needs of the breed

The GRCWA Puppy Info Session is for people who want to make informed, thoughtful decisions before bringing a Golden Retriever into their family.

This session will help you understand what to ask, what to look for and why waiting for the right puppy is often the best decision.

Our May edition of The Golden Pawprint is finally on its way!

I'll admit, an overseas holiday got in the way and the timing was most inconsiderate on my part, but as they say, better late than never!

And this edition is full of training tips, grooming tricks, retrieving news and informative articles, as well as suggested spots to visit with your four legged friends and a fabulous birthday cake recipe for a special celebration treat.

To our new members- we hope you enjoy the read and if you have any suggestions for future articles, drop us a line!
