Bramvista Golden Retrievers is located about an hour and a half northeast of Toronto where we have about 10 acres of land with a small pond that the dogs enjoy immensely.

My background with purebred dogs spans several decades, beginning with a poodle I fell in love with and purchased while taking dog grooming courses in 1968. Within a year I purchased a Great Dane and began showing her in conformation. I was hooked!!

Golden Retrievers were not well known at the time. The first time I saw a Golden was at a dog show. After doing some research into the breed it wasn't long before I purchased my first Golden puppy. It took a few years before I was lucky enough to purchase two great dogs that had the soundness, style, intelligence and temperament that I considered necessary to become the foundation of my breeding program.

Over the years I have held executive positions with All Breed and Golden Retriever clubs, co-chaired National Specialty shows, Sanctioned Conformation Matches, Health Clinics, and have Chaired Committees. I have also judged at Sanction Matches and Specialty Shows.
