Ethical Golden Retriever Breeders in Aberdeenshire

For over 15 years, we have owned, bred, and worked with Golden Retrievers — and we truly can’t imagine a better family companion.
Our journey with this wonderful breed began with Hopecove Summer Daisy and continues today through her granddaughter, Canndebra Von Louisa (Rosie).

Our Breeding Philosophy

As ethical and selective Golden Retriever breeders in Aberdeenshire, our absolute focus is on the health, temperament, and happiness of every litter.
We plan each breeding carefully, ensuring that every puppy is given the best possible start — physically, emotionally, and socially.

Our goal is to match each puppy with the right family, creating lifelong partnerships where both dog and owner can truly thrive. Because of this, our approach may differ slightly from other breeders — but always in ways that prioritise the wellbeing of our dogs and their future families.

How We Raise Our Puppies

All of our puppies are hand-raised in our home, surrounded by the warmth and routine of family life. The wellbeing of our mothers and puppies is always our highest priority.

Our girls are fully health tested, and every litter follows a structured enrichment and socialisation programme designed to nurture confidence, resilience, and curiosity.

Our programme includes:

• Early Scent Introduction (ESI)

• Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)

• A comprehensive Puppy Socialisation Curriculum

We also introduce crate training, potty training, and early manners — helping our puppies grow into happy, well-adjusted companions ready for their new homes.

Health and Nutrition

We believe that good health starts with good nutrition. Our dogs are raised on a complete raw diet, providing the nutrients they need to thrive.

All puppies are worm-counted and treated as needed, and before going to their new families, they are:

• Vet-checked

• Eye-screened

• Microchipped

• Vaccinated

These steps ensure that every puppy leaves us healthy, confident, and ready to begin life with their new family.

Lifetime Support for Our Puppies and Families

We are committed to our puppies for life. Every puppy we breed comes with a lifetime of support and open communication.
Whether it’s training advice, nutritional guidance, or simply a friendly check-in, we’re always here to help.

If ever circumstances change, we will always offer a home back here — no matter the age or situation.

Meet Our Family

We’re Louise and Matt, and we live with our teenagers and adult children on a beautiful estate in Aberdeenshire, surrounded by woodlands, wildlife, and the river.
Our dogs and puppies live right here with us in our home — they are part of our family in every sense.
