Hawkwood Golden Retrievers

This kennel was established in 1971 when I got my first English Setter. These I enjoyed showing and occasionally breeding, until moving into Golden Retrievers with the purchase of my first bitch Phoebe (Charterhall Paper Moon) in 1994. Things really got underway with the purchase of Lydia from the late Margaret Evans’ Vanrose kennels. Vanrose April Gold was from the Stanroph and Sansue lines in the UK becoming the basis of my future breeding. Scotty (NZ Ch Stanroph Super Scott) came in from Anne Woodcock’s Stanroph kennels in the UK. And that, as they say was that….the Goldens took over and we now have eight.

We live on a small lifestyle block outside Rolleston, Canterbury, New Zealand. We breed about one carefully considered litter a year from quality bitches. All stock have current health certificates. To us, our dogs are all individuals and each special.
