Hello! And a very warm welcome Flomiss Goldens... home of the most beautiful Golden Retrievers and the most adorable puppies, bred purely for their gentle, friendly nature..
We are a very small family run breeder based in a small village near Kettering, Northamptonshire.
We have kept and bred Goldens for over 27 years, and have developed a great reputation for supplying happy, healthy, quality puppies, as well as providing a great support service for the life of the puppy.
We are 5* Licenced with the local council Number 18/03169/AWDB and are fully inspected regularly.
Our KC Affix came about from an amalgamation of the pet names of our very first Goldie we ever owned, MISSIE, and the Matriarch of our line, FLOSS.
Both girls are dearly missed to this day hence
FLO-MISS
Our girls always have all their BVA health checks done..... Clear Eye Certs ,Low Hip and Elbow Scores, and their hips are normally below 12. We have a maximum of three breeding bitches at any time.
Our normal breeding pattern is generally two litters overall every 18-24 months between all our girls.
Our girls when bred from have over 18 months minimum between each litter and 3 litters in their lifetime unless there is a highly compelling reason to allow a 4th and final to be bred.
The remainder of our bitches are neutered and retired. Sadly most of these have long since gone over the Rainbow Bridge
My 2 old ladies who are still with us now live with my family members out of our home but still close by and are seen twice weekly.
Our dogs are our family pets and always live indoors in our home
No kennelling or outbuildings are ever used to house our dogs.
Our puppies are reared indoors and are never outside other than to play, and they are never left unsupervised.
Socialization-wise...We have many other pets at home, so the puppies are used to cats, chickens etc.
My elderly mum is often here and is disabled, therefore the puppies become accustomed to wheelchairs and canes, so remain calm and un-fazed by most things they see around them.
Our puppies are introduced to the youngest family members as they are born and are handled by them from a few hours after birth which aids in ensuring they are never aggressive toward children.
The mothers are very calm and balanced and never raise so much as an eyebrow when they find a small human in the whelping box with their puppies, which, in a family home, does happen from time to time.
We are on our 9th generation now, and are so very proud of each and every dog we have raised, breeding for good looks and a great temperament.

My dogs are never taken to the Show ring, although they have a fantastic Show line behind them, but they (and I) are generally covered in mud (or worse) and that's just how we like it. The constant grooming and bathing for showing would not do for any of us as we like the great outdoors too much.
The puppies, however, would be as suited to being shown and the choice regarding whether or not to show will be up to the new owners.
BEFORE ENQUIRING .....PLEASE DON'T ASK YOURSELF IF A GOLDEN RETRIEVER IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOUR HOME AND FAMILY,
BUT IS YOURS THE RIGHT HOME FOR A
GOLDEN RETRIEVER??
