Based in Brisbane, our Golden Retriever Stud operates with a clear mandate: to breed superior Field Golden Retrievers, a line with distinguished UK origins. These Field Golden Retrievers not only align with the historical breed standards set by Lord Tweedmouth in the 1800s but surpass them in aesthetics, intelligence, and temperament.
Our commitment is unwavering—we produce puppies that excel in health, temperament, and possess distinct physical traits, such as a smaller build and darker, almost red, golden coats. Our breeding program is rigorous, underscored by extensive health screening and strategic selection of sire and dam, ensuring the puppies we offer are of the highest caliber, ready to become loyal, affectionate companions and integral to their families.
The UK Field Golden Retrievers we specialize in are of a moderate size, weighing between 20-30kg, with shorter, richly colored coats.
Our breeding strategy, refined since 2015, focuses on enhancing their innate intelligence, trainability, and loyalty, making them exemplary dogs across various roles.
Our stud is home to two males registered as therapy dogs, reflecting the breed's intrinsic affectionate and loving nature—a characteristic evident in their offspring, many of whom are also registered therapy dogs.
At Activ Goldens, our breeding practices are stringent, with a clear focus on utilizing only the finest UK-imported lines.
This approach is non-negotiable, ensuring the perpetuation and enhancement of the breed's noble characteristics.
