As a family we had our first Golden Retriever in 1988, her name was CASSIE. As our pet we could not have wanted anything more from her, the greatest temperament, loving nature and a best friend to all. It was with Cassie that my love affair for Golden Retrievers began.

I also had a German Shepherd X called ‘Onion’ and a Westie called ‘Kara’. But it was with Goldens that my heart belonged.. I got involved more with dogs doing obedience and agility and then I started showing.

Having moved to Ireland in 2009, our Golden family grew, as too did our family of Dachshunds.

Living near the countryside, the mountains and especially the Beaches  our dogs enjoy many varied walks, swims and making new friends...

Our dogs are first and foremost family pets. Katie & I show the dogs which is proving a great hobby for us and very successful for the dogs.

In November '05 I decided to get my own affix, so started the thoughts on what it would be called…….As my second love is Scuba Diving, with the underwater world been so surreal and breath taking, I wanted my affix to relate to the water as well as my dogs.
