Joyso Golden Retrievers

About Us

Hello and welcome to Joyso Golden Retrievers, fondly referred to as Camp Joyso by our friends. We are located, on a little piece of rural heaven in south - western Ontario, just a short 15 minutes outside London Ontario. This puts us 2 hours from both Windsor and Toronto. Golden Retrievers entered my life in 1986 with the purchase of my first Golden Retriever companion, Sammy. When I acquired my second Golden Retriever in the early 1990's, Joy, that led me to become an avid student of this beautiful breed. The more I learned about Golden Retrievers, the greater my love and respect, for all that is wonderful about them deepened. With this love and respect, the desire to contribute what I could to keeping these wonderful golden characteristics present in this breed and the guidance of some knowledgeable "old timers" (a term I use with great admiration) as a strong base, I started to breed Golden Retrievers. It is a path that has had many hills and of course valleys along the way but I would not want to have missed either. Both have made me a better breeder, as we should learn just as much from both the good and the unfortunate things that happen. I have been a voting, member in good standing, of the Golden Retriever Club of Canada since 1990. As such I abide by the GRCC Breeder's Code of Ethics and you will find Joyso Golden Retrievers on the GRCC Breeders List. I presently hold the position of Trophy Curator of the GRCC. (for more informatin about the GRCC please go to the "links" page) All Joyso Golden Retriever litters are the result of careful pedigree research and include only Golden Retrievers who have the required health clearances and that true Golden Retriever temperament which is the hallmark of the Golden Retriever breed. That makes a Joyso Golden Retriever a golden companion that will add immeasurably to your life. All Joyso Golden Retrievers are sold on CKC non-breeding agreements to help preserve and protect its future and all the qualities that first attracted people to this personable breed. Now that I have introduced myself to you it's time for you to meet those Golden Retrievers who have enriched my life in the past and those who do so today.
