IRONBARK

Ironbark Golden Retrievers first came into being in 2006 and since then I have only bred sparingly. The main criteria for my breeding program is to breed pups sound in both mind and body. I expect that my pups are confident and outgoing in all scenarios , for example when exposed to clanging pots, my husband doing a bit of DIY and receiving visitors as I fully believe in early socialisation to help achieve my goal. My breeding contains both Australian and English working lines which, I feel, gives them the 'want to please' attitude which is so important for their future. My puppies are reared in a home environment with the emphasis on giving them small challenges so that they learn how to learn. I am currently competing in both Tracking and Scent Work trials with my young boy, Lewis, aka Ironbark Wind In the Willows who, at the tender age of 16 months has three scent work passes and his TD1 in tracking.
