'Lughaidh' (pronounced Lou-ee) has gone to live with Fíona, Jonathan and Séadhna in Galway.  They have befriended the next door neighbour's golden over the years and after lots of research and thought on the breed, they are now ready to make the commitment to their own first family dog and Golden Retriever.  They are looking forward to Lughaidh becoming a part of their family and enjoying their outdoor's life style with them.

STAYING TRUE TO THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER - Why we decided to do this mating.

THE BREED STANDARD
The aim at Tamniarn is to try to breed a dog as close to the Golden Retriever Breed Standard as possible while also retaining the Golden Retriever's natural working ability.  We strongly believe that this is the key to keeping that true Golden temperament which Golden Retrievers are so famous for which encompasses a kindly, friendly, confident and intelligent dog with a real willingness to please.  This combination is what makes these dogs excellent companions, family pets and working dogs.

HEALTH
The dogs in Bella's and Rodney's pedigrees have been health screened for generations.  Both Bella and Rodney have scored well below the breed average in their BVA hips scores and both have current clear BVA Eye Certificates (see pedigrees for details).

TEMPERAMENT
Rodney (Sire) - lives in Durham (England) with the Endean Family and the rest of the Chlodyl Golden Retriever Team.  The dogs are family pets and are loved very much by the Endean family.  They have also had much success in the show ring, particularly with Rodney who was recently made up to a Show Champion at the tender age of 2 years old.

Rodney is a big softie with a typical Golden Retriever temperament and he is very calm and easy going around the house.  Rodney has the classical Golden Retriever looks with melting big brown eyes and a shiny wavy golden coat.

Bella (Dam) - also has a very soft and sweet nature and is happiest when she's lying with her head on your knee and getting a pat, running about in the fields retrieving balls or swimming in the river.

Bella is a very intelligent dog who has proved very easy to train and is a pleasure to walk, as is Rodney and both have very typical loving Golden Retriever temperaments. From this mating we hope to see equally biddable and loveable Golden Retriever pups who will make excellent family pets, some of which hopefully will go on to make picking up or assistance dogs and/or venture into the show ring.

PUPPIES GOING TO NEW HOMES
Puppies will only be placed in permanent homes where they will be properly cared for and provided with adequate mental and physical stimulation.  Please be prepared to answer some questions on your daily home life  and activities, no offence is intended but we need to make sure that we are matching the right puppy with the right family and vice versa.  Equally, please feel free to ask us questions. For further information on looking for the right golden puppy and caring for it, please click on the following links to the GRC and AIGRC Websites.  GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB & ALL IRELAND GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB

We encourage the puppy's new family to keep in touch with us throughout their dog's life and we will also be happy to offer training advice and/or other support that the new family may need.

Our puppies will leave for their new homes at around 7 or 8 weeks with Puppy Packs and 6 Weeks Free Insurance and they will be KC Registered and Micro Chipped.

Please do your research before buying a puppy.  There are many Back Street Breeders and Puppy Farmers out there who have no consideration or proper knowledge of the temperament or the health of the dogs they breed from, which in many cases causes unnecessary suffering to the animal and consequently to the owner who has to suffer the avoidable poor health and/or the early loss of a much loved family pet.
