WHY THIS PAIRING?

Two profiles, read together.

In Daphne we value a kind, intelligent and people-focused Golden. Her health record and the named lines behind her give us the foundation for a family companion with a clear sense of breed type.

Bonzo contributes strength, character and a broad international pedigree. His health results add a second record to examine, rather than treating one dog's qualities as enough on their own.

The combination is intended to balance warmth and confidence, substance and balance, with health, temperament and the practical realities of family life considered together. The puppies will be individuals; this page explains the qualities we hope to support, not promises about any one puppy.

HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS

Both dogs have recorded hip, elbow and DNA results shown below. Daphne's BVA/KC/ISDS eye examination is recorded as unaffected on 23 February 2025; Bonzo's eye result is awaiting confirmed certificate details.

PAIRING AT A GLANCE

The useful numbers, without losing the dogs.

COI is one part of the pedigree conversation. It sits beside the health record, temperament and the strengths each parent contributes.
