Description

We are a small family based breeder located on beautiful Maple Bay in the heart of Muskoka**, Ontario, Canada. Goldens are our passion!! Traditionally goldens have been bred for both their gentle beauty and their obedient ability in the field - We strive to maintain the dual purpose identity of these elegant dogs. During my early childhood years my parents bred labrador retrievers - so my love for dogs, puppies, breeding, and all animals came about quite naturally. As a child our yard was always filled with chickens, rabbits, ducks, a dog or two and whatever else found its way into our home. I had always loved the golden retriever breed and had admired its beauty and charming personality - so when I grew older I seized the first opportunity that came about to welcome the breed into our home. It has been many years now since our first golden, a big, beautiful, dark-coloured American golden named Samson, came into our lives. Sam was a loyal friend and faithful companion, a wonderful, handsome, biddable lad who sparked in us a love and devotion for the breed that has only deepened over the years. Sam was the kind of golden that instantly warmed his way into your heart and stayed there forever: always happy, friendly, well-mannered and obedient. Unfortunately, Sam suffered with arthritis and hip dysplasia for most of his life and was taken from us at a young seven years of age after a brave fight with cancer. After the initial shock and the sadness of Sam's passing began to dissipate we became increasingly aware of the pressing need to protect and improve this marvellous breed, not only in Canada but around the world. With Sam's passing - we began to take a closer look at the golden retriever breed in North America and we did not like what we saw. It is unfortunate that with the popularity of the breed - many breeders have made poor decisions and money-based decisions for years now - which has only served to harm the breed and the integrity of the golden retriever. As we began to recognize the dire situatation of go dens in this country (mainly the American lines) our focus turned to the European lines, the history and lineages of their golden retrievers, pedigrees, ethical breeding practices, genetics, and canine disease. The more I learned - the more I knew I wanted to make a difference in the future of the breed here in North America. It has not been an easy journey - and I expect that there will continue to be difficult decisions to be made - but I am comitted to seeing the breed preserved and quality returned to this exquisite breed.Our name "Dreamkeeper" was created to reflect the foundation and the integral contributions made to our kennel through the gracious assistance of Jennie Andersson at KENNEL DREAM MAX in Sweden. Dream Max has been leading the way as a breeder of golden retrievers in Europe for over 30 years through their quality bloodlines, pursuit of excellence, and tremendous history of Champions. Two of their beautiful boys - Simson and Sky - are the cornerstone of our golden family. Although we are the "keepers" of these exceptional Dream Max lads - it is our hope to pass along their wonderful attributes to generations of goldens to come. All of our dogs live kennel-free . They are raised as cherished, valued members of our family and live in our home with us. In my opinion there is absolutely no other way to raise a golden. All of our goldies are free to roam on 20 acres of beautiful woodlands and trails where our home is situated as well as do what goldens love to do most - swim and retrieve!! We are fortunate to have a beautiful, pristine lake 50 feet from our front door - it is a little piece of heaven for our goldens. They spend their down-time laying somewhere under my feet in the kitchen or sneaking onto the bed of one of their favorite kids. We gladly adhere to, and aim to surpass, the Canadian Kennel Club Code of Ethics. We simply have two goals at Dreamkeeper. The first is to never stop learning about this exceptional breed and the second is to do everything in our power to improve upon it. We refuse to breed for convenience or recreation. We aim to produce goldens that are true to the original standard - specifically in character, appearance and health. For this reason we have sought out 100% English-style goldens from Champion sires and multi-champion lines originating in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Hungary, Germany and beyond. We have built the foundation of our breeding program on only those golden retrievers with outstanding temperment, great health and sound structure. All goldens involved in our breeding program must have, at the very minimum, complete health clearances and must meet the breed standard.
