Applecote Golden Retrievers Applecote Golden Retrievers is a small show kennel owned by Lesley, Teresa and Michael Layland, situ Biddable, Kind, Intelligent and Friendly.

Applecote Golden Retrievers is small show kennel owned by Lesley, Teresa and Michael Layland and situated in Leicestershire in the heart of rural England. Our dogs are first and foremost much loved and valued members of the family living within our home. We live in a peaceful village surrounded by plenty of fields which enables all our dogs to have lots of exercise. Here at Applecote we aim to pro

duce good quality golden retrievers which are 'Fit for Function'. That are able to do a good days work in the field, of a high standard to enter the show ring to be sound in body and mind and most importantly to have that typical lovely Golden Retriever temprement. We only breed from our girls very occasionally usually when we would like a puppy ourselves so, if you are interested in puchasing a puppy from us please be patient as you may have to wait a while. All prospective buyers will be vetted as we aim to give all of our puppies loving, permanent homes from the start. Our girls undertake the recommended KC/BVA health checks prior to breeding allowing us to only breed with the healthiest of dogs, with the puppies being raised in the home in a family environment. For over twenty five years we have owned this wonderful breed. Why want for more when you have everything you could ask for in a golden retriever.

Thank you to everyone who sent messages of sympathy following Bernie's passing last week. You're all a lovely bunch and it is much appreciated. Bernie arrived home on Tuesday and is now at rest next to his brother Justin ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’” The house is quiet without him but I'm thankful that I have his grandson Christopher and grand-daughters Mia, Gina and Clara so a little bit of him still lives on โค๏ธ

Super information, please read.
Remember to follow the simple rule with puppies and exercise.....
5 minutes of exercise twice daily per month a live.

Lorsque vous accueillez enfin vos chiots de 10 semaines, veuillez garder cette image ร  l'esprit. Leurs os ne se touchent mรชme pas encore. Ils marchent si joliment avec de grosses pattes souples et des mouvements bancals parce que leurs articulations sont entiรจrement constituรฉes de cartilages, de muscles, de tendons et de ligaments recouverts de peau. Rien n'est encore bien ajustรฉ ou n'a encore de vรฉritable prise.

Lorsque vous les faites courir de maniรจre excessive ou que vous ne limitez pas leur exercice pour les empรชcher d'en faire trop pendant cette pรฉriode, vous ne leur donnez pas la chance de grandir correctement. Chaque grand saut ou course bondissante et excitรฉe provoque des impacts entre les os.
En quantitรฉs raisonnables, ce n'est pas problรฉmatique et c'est une usure normale qui sโ€™opรจrera.

Mais lorsque vous laissez le chiot sauter du canapรฉ ou du lit, lโ€™emmenez faire de longues promenades, vous endommagez cette articulation en formation. Lorsque vous laissez le chiot se dรฉplacer sur des carreaux glissants , vous endommagez l'articulation.

Vous n'avez la chance de les faire grandir qu'une seule fois. Un corps bien construit est quelque chose qui vient d'un excellent รฉlevage et d'une bonne รฉducation. LES DEUX, pas seulement un.

Une fois adulte, vous aurez le reste de votre vie ร  passer ร  jouer et ร  vous engager dans des exercices ร  fort impact. Alors gardez le au calme tant quโ€™il est encore petit et offrez lui le cadeau qui ne peut รชtre offert qu'une seule fois.

Over the past week three of our puppies from the Christmas litter have now moved on to new adventures with their forever families. The past 8 weeks seem to have flown by and although it's sad to see them go we know that they all have bright and exciting futures ahead of them.
Little Noel is now called Charlie and already becoming accustomed to mud ๐Ÿคฃ
JoJo is now called Jake and likes watching the TV and our very special Belle is now Honey. She is one very lucky pup because she has gone to live with her big sister Molly โค๏ธ
