A kennel of tradition · Est. 1963
Goldtreve is a small, select kennel on five acres in the beautiful Hills District of Sydney. For more than sixty years we have bred healthy, sound and beautiful Golden Retrievers — and, since 2010, the charming Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen.
Welcome to Goldtreve
We are a small select kennel on five acres located in the beautiful Hills District of Sydney. Everything here is done for the love of the breed — the dogs live as part of the family, and every litter is planned with the next generation of the line in mind.
Our aim has never changed: to breed Golden Retrievers of correct type and gentle temperament, dogs that are equally at home on the show bench, in the obedience ring, in the field, and by the fire.
Our breeding aims
To produce healthy puppies free from the hereditary defects associated with the breed — hip and elbow dysplasia, heart disorders and eye problems. All of our Golden Retrievers are tested for these conditions before they are bred.
To produce temperamentally sound puppies that are a joy to live with as a family companion, with correct conformation for the show ring and the ability to work in obedience, agility and in the field.

Where we have judgedA second love
In 2010 we introduced a second breed to our kennel — the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen, a merry, rough-coated French hound we had admired for some time. Rokeena Versailles arrived and in no time made a name for himself in the show ring, winning Best Puppy in Show at the prestigious Sydney Royal, becoming a multiple Best in Show winner and gaining his Supreme Championship by just over two years of age.
In 2012 Rokeena Nutz About Snickerz arrived and gained her Championship in no time with many good wins, adding her Grand Championship in January 2015. In 2013 Jasper and Phoebe produced a litter of gorgeous puppies, and we retained Reymundo, who followed in his father’s footsteps — a multiple Best in Show winner and the No. 1 National Rising Star for 2014 (DOLPS), gaining his Supreme Championship in December 2014 at just seventeen months of age. Phoebe, meanwhile, has made a name for herself as a child handler’s dog; she adores the children and loves her work.
