Hello, my name is Penny Stephens and I am the very proud owner of 14 beautiful Golden Retrievers. These dogs are the most wonderful of all creatures, offering kindness, love, loyalty and companionship unconditionally, as only they can. Their sensitivity to their owners' feelings is positively amazing, as my dogs have proved on many occasions. I quite simply couldn't live without them in my life - and most people once bitten by the 'Goldie' bug feel the same way. Because of their wonderful dispositions, Goldens are ideally suited to families with children, and the disabled, and make wonderful therapy dogs in Nursing and Residential homes. I am very excited about having this opportunity to show my most wonderful of friends off to the world. I currently have nine dogs who are involved in my breeding programme, four who are rescues, and one who was born with a cleft pallette - more about Bili later. To date, I have delivered approximately 145 puppies - mostly my own, but several for Goldie owners who have been rather nervous of the impending event, and have asked me to step into the role of midwife for them! This I have done with great enthusiasm, as I hope always to do whatever is necessary to help the breed in any way I can. I'm very proud to say my dogs are blood donors for Albert Cottage Veterinary Practice here in Saltash, and have already helped in saving the lives of many other much loved dogs.

 *If you have lost your very special Golden, and need to talk to someone who understands how painful your loss is, please feel free to contact me for a chat, I will do all I can to help you through this very difficult time.*

I always breed for health and temperament as a priority. The welfare of my dogs and this breed, is of the utmost importance to me. and is always my priority.

 The dog makes no distinction between the great and the humble, between the rich and the powerful, and those who have nothing to offer him but their company.
