Andy and I bred breeding beautiful performance golden retrievers for 45 years but it’s time to retire. Although we are no longer producing litters, we dedicate this site to our amazing breed, owners and dogs. Please peruse it to learn more about them.
We were honored by the AKC as Sport Breeders of the Year for three years: Rally in 2016, agility in 2017, and tracking in 2018. We were also honored as a Platinum-level Breeder of Merit, an AKC award that recognizes quality breeders. To be selected for these honors among all breeds was a tremendous honor and a tribute to all the amazing Gaylan’s owners.
Today, as owners and former breeders, we remain committed to the multi-purpose golden retriever, a dog who conforms to the Golden Retriever Standard and retains the breed’s original abilities as a hunting companion. Our dogs serve as competition, Search and Rescue, hunting, and therapy dogs.
Gaylan’s dogs have earned over 150 American and Canadian championships in conformation, obedience, agility, tracking, rally, barn hunt, as well as Master Hunder titles, Elite Nose Work, and Qualified All-Age Status.
