Our first golden, Bella, we brought home 2003 - so we have had golden retrievers at least 20 years. Before that Leena's mother was a breeder of collies, Triin remembers specially of them - it was Nacky (Edelgar Nacky). 
We had a lot of luck (as we were not the very knowable) with our first golden (Fairytale's Arabella), because she was in every way an excellent example of the breed. She needed time to fill her frame and had nice show career being older (she became Estonian Champion and Estonian & Latvian Veteran Champion). Leena had a lot of fun showing her - most of the time free handed as she was very showy. Temperamentwise was Bella very bold, and friendly. Little bit stubborn, but despite of that managed to get her Field Duck result. In year 2006 we had our first litter (male was Hollygold Aprilstorm). We kept from that litter our Betty (Fairy Sunrise Bethina) - unlike her mother, Betty had the strive and persistance to work, but she was stubborn in the ring (it was a pity, because she was a real beauty) - she did not enjoy it and moved in slow motion.  Outside the ring (especially in the forest) she had a totally different attitude. Bella's second litter was born in 2009 with Dream Max Gunde Svan. Betty had 2 litters - 2010 with Sandusky Alain Prost and 2014  with Golden Tunes Rocket Man. From the 2010 litter we kept Simba (Fairy Sunrise Dear Teddy).  Simba was the most kindest dog we ever had.  Sadly he had an accident with his knees and after that we could not show him in the ring. Work was also not for him (he had an attitude), but despite that he was a fun companion and a easy dog to live with.

In 2019 came Teddy (Lady Wantonness My Boy to FS) to our house and in 2023 Pico (thank you for your trust, Tiiu and Kristina). They are our current team.
