Oakshire Kennel
We specialize in champion bloodline Golden Retrievers, ranging from cream (also incorrectly known in America as "white")
to light golden in color.  Here in the US, they are often referred to as English type Golden Retrievers, since the type
of Golden you see in the AKC standard, differs from that of the region of origin.  Our love and upbringing with many
breeds, led us to the best decision we ever made, getting our first Golden Retriever.   After such a great experience, an
unfeigned desire grew to become more involved, and help to establish quality English type Goldens in the U.S.  

We are members of the Golden Retriever Club of America, and believe in, and follow their code  of ethics.    Our dogs
are selectively paired to bring out the best in the standard of the breed in conformation and temperament.  Our  interest
is continuing, and bettering the breed by producing sound, typical dogs following both Kennel Club and AKC breed
standards.  

We compete in conformation shows, handling our dogs for UCI International titles with the International All Breed
Canine Association, and compete in AKC shows as well.  We also work with two handlers in Canada to gain Canadian
show titles.  Although the AKC does not as often recognize the paler shade Goldens, with perseverance, quality dogs,
and mentors who have been extremely influential in the breed, we hope to begin to change things here...  

Our dogs have the luxury of roaming free on our 4 ½ acres, and enjoy spending their days swimming in our pond,  going
on bike rides,  and daily show training.  We feel that the English type Golden Retriever has the optimal temperament for
responsible people wanting to own a dog, whether for companionship, conformation showing, obedience, hunting,
agility, and just to be a member of the family.   


"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human.  The point of it is to open oneself
to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."        -Edward Haagland
