Intheblind Field Golden Retrievers

Owner of  pure field goldens since 2008.

Intheblind Golden Retrievers has pure, dark, USA imported field bred golden retrievers from some of the most proven field trial lines.

Field golden retrievers are highly intelligent golden retrievers that make the most wonderful family pets and companions.  They are loyal and affectionate with people, along with being easy to train.  They make wonderful house pets and family companions.  Field goldens are trustworthy dogs with kids and other pets.

I am a current member of Dogs Victoria and adhere to their Code of Ethics.  All of my brood stock are ANKC registered, hip and elbow scored, along with eye, heart and DNA tested.

I purchased my first field golden in 2008 from a well respected breeder in Iowa USA.  My imported dog Blondie lived to 15.5 and was a direct daughter of AFC Emberain Rugby, one of the most prepotent stud dogs in the USA of the last few decades.  I am honoured to have had such a sound, strong and spirited dog to form the basis of my dogs today.

Field golden retrievers are utilised internationally in functional roles, including as service and assistance dogs, border patrol dogs for militaries, along with search and rescue and detector dogs roles for government agencies.  Even with the intelligence to perform such functional roles, field goldens make beautiful family companions and house dogs.  My goldens are more than happy spending time inside, sleeping on a couch or dog bed.

The golden retriever was developed in Scotland in the 1860s by Lord Tweedmouth as a gundog.  The pre-requisites for a good gun dog including stability under pressure, namely gunfire, a gentle mouth, in order not to damage game, along with a will to please and ability to swim in freezing waters.  These attributes are tested internationally including in retrieving trials in Australia, along with field trials in the UK, Scotland and Europe.  Dogs that achieve championship certification in such trials have shown ability reflective of a quality gundog.

My current dogs are entirely descendants of field goldens from Canada and North America.  I have imported semen from several high quality dogs that have been used extensively for sporting activities and hunting.  I always strive to breed sound goldens, with good hips, elbows, eyes, heart and DNA clearances.
