Nadina Goldens

| Nadina Goldens is located in beautiful British Columbia, in the Okanagan Valley, on the outskirts of Kelowna. What got us started on our journey with this beautiful breed? Well back in the early 1990's we used to look after a Beckwith Golden for our family doctor. "Punch" was a beautiful dog with an exceptionally mellow temperament. All four kids would enjoy his stays and he, being a true Golden, would quite happily join a family with four small children while his owner was on vacation. In 1994 we decided it was time to add a dog to the family and since we loved having "Punch" around, a Golden Retriever was the obvious choice. After much research and heading to a dog show to meet some breeders we brought home a puppy, "Shayna" Hollykins Living On The Edge. 1999 brought with it our first litter, of which we kept a puppy, "Maxx" CH. Nadina's Living Life To The Maxx. Through him we were introduced to dog shows. His show career started out with a huge bang, Best Puppy In Show at his first show, and we were hooked. Since those first two Goldens, we have learned much and continue to strive to learn all we can to preserve this wonderful breed. We always desire to produce puppies that are sound in mind and body, and remain as close to the breed standard as possible. As such, we breed only occasionally, and after much planning and preparation. On any give day you can find us and the Golden crew in and around the house, or enjoying the outdoors. And on the occasional weekend at a dog show. |
