In memory · The cornerstone of our line
England’s top sire of all time, and the dog around whom the entire Goldtreve bloodline is built.
Our ideal Golden was Eng Ch Camrose Cabus Christopher. In 1976, Joan Tudor of the celebrated Camrose kennel was kind enough to send his semen to Australia, and Goldtreve has been line-bred to ‘Christopher’ ever since — the only kennel in the world with a direct, ongoing link to this great dog.
Christopher was the top sire in the United Kingdom, with 26 title holders and 50 worldwide. He won 41 Challenge Certificates — a record surpassed only by his double grandson, with 42 — along with 2 Best in Show awards, 4 Reserve Best in Show awards and 8 Group awards, all at championship shows. He was runner-up to Top Dog 1974 and crowned these achievements by winning the Contest of Champions. He also showed his prowess as a working dog.

Enquiries
Goldtreve is a small, select kennel in the Hills District of Sydney. Our Golden Retrievers and Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen are reared with love in our home and go to carefully chosen families. Litters are planned occasionally, so we welcome early enquiries from those who would like to be considered.
Parents are fully health-tested and every puppy leaves us registered, vaccinated, vet-checked and microchipped.
