History of Tarakota Golden Retrievers
|
In December 1997 we obtained our first Golden Retriever
(Nikita) from Crowlee Kennels and my wife and I have never looked back. We
joined the local dog obedience club and then over the next two years trained
Nikita right from puppy school through to obtaining her Advanced Certificate
in Obedience. We obtained Kotie our second Golden Retriever in February 2000
from Dorehytes Golden Retrievers. Kotie has also received his Advanced
Certificate in Obedience and has a huge love for Agility. Tara our third
Golden Retriever arrived in August 2000 and has been an absolute joy to my
parents. We obtained her from Waltaview Golden Retrievers, and she is
progressing daily in the area of obedience. Ebby is the latest addition to
our golden family. She was bred by us and she has obtained her Level 1
and 2 certificates in obedience at Croydon Dog Club. |

Nikita, Kotie, Tara and Ebby have been fantastic dogs for
all of our family. Kalani our daughter arrived in January 1999. Jayden our
oldest son arrived in January 2001 and Kelby our youngest son arrived in
February 2004. Our Golden Retrievers have been outstanding with our children
and their only crime has been to inflict tears because of a misplaced
wagging tail. Because of our positive experiences we have two main reasons
for breeding at Tarakota Golden Retrievers. The first is that we genuinely
want to promote the Golden Retriever as a fantastic family pet and
companion. Our second reason is that we want to improve the breed standard.
This means our dogs can only be used for breeding if they have clear eye
certificates, very good hip scores, a sound temperament and a proven
heritage in obedience or conformation. |
 
| Our pups are raised in the family home. We have a large
laundry that contains a huge whelping box and the ducted heating unit keeps
the room warm. Our main entrance area is transformed into a secure play area
where the pups have plenty of room to play and socialise. The pups are
weaned from their mother at around 3 – 4 weeks of age and they are exposed
to other adults, our children and household noises right from the time they
are born. Our pups are available to go to a quality home when they are eight
weeks old. |
 
| It is our goal to provide pups that come from a quality
heritage to prospective buyers who in our opinion will provide very good
homes for each of our pups. Tara (Waltaview Stormy Weather) last had a
litter of nine pups on August 1 2005. The sire was Lister (Crowlee Flying
Scottsman) from Crowlee Kennels. We have just had a
litter of ten pups with Ebby (Tarakota Tidal Ebb) and the sire was Kotie (Dorehytes
Rag Time). |

| Kotie our male is available for stud dog use. He has a hip
score of 10 (5/5) and a clear eye certificate. He is a proven sire and a
fantastic companion dog. |
