Duckmoors Golden retrievers

18/11/2024

Just a few weeks ago, I stood by Finn’s side and promised him, “If you win this fight, you can retrieve as much as you want and do whatever makes you happy.” And here we are. Against all odds, Finn’s spirit never wavered, and now he’s back out in the field, loving every moment of what he does best. 💪🐾

The recent fight for his life may have added a few more white hairs to his face, but honestly, who cares? That determined sparkle in his eyes is all that matters. ✨

Finn’s journey to full recovery continues - his weight is slowly coming back, and his energy levels are on the rise. The past few sunny days were a joy to watch him back in action, doing what he was born to do. Every day with him out there feels like a little victory. 🌞

double trouble - Jazzie ❤️‍🔥 & Neema ❤️‍🔥
decided to be in season at the same time, poor boys 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sometimes, we just need to take a break, go for a walk with friends, and enjoy the moment. This time, I happened to bring the camera along! 🌲
A walk with seven goldies - 3 boys and 4 girls - through the our sandy woods and a refreshing dip in the lake (even though it's already a bit chilly) was the perfect recipe for fun and, of course, a few wet socks! 😆🐾

🐾 Planned litter at Duckmoors! 🐾
We are happy to announce our upcoming litter from two exceptional goldies! Jazzie is now in season, with mating planned in the middle of November. Hopefully the puppies will arrive mid-January 2025 with both parents possessing open-minded character, the drive, calmness, and steady temperament essential for active working homes.

The pedigree of this litter combines proven, talented lines, full of golden retrievers with a natural will to work and a balanced temperament. These puppies will hopefully inherit the best from both parents. Ideal for working homes, these puppies will be more than companions – they’re bred to excel in the field while being wonderful family members.

Excited to share some great moments from our October duck hunts! 🦆 We had a full pack this year, and I’m especially happy that Finn could join us for at least the first ones. 💪
The Duckmoors team in action included Finn, Toffee, Jazzie, Tommy, and our youngest star, Neema, who had her first duck retrieves. Very pleased with this little girl – she surprised me with her calm head and focus during the picking-up days. 😊

Check out the album for some highlights of this season so far! 😉

It seems that winter break wasn’t in the cards for Cita and her owner, Waltraud, after all! 🙂 Despite plans to take a break, they decided to participate in the ÖRC SLP (Search Performance Test) in Styria, Austria. And the results are in:

We are happy to share some great news about the Duckmoors family! Yesterday, five of our pack members underwent their annual eye exams and we are happy to report that everyone's eyes are unaffected including gonio (PLA) - even our senior stars!

Kaliture Finn "Finn" - 11,5 years old
I’m super happy for my old boy, Finn. Passing his eye test is quite important for him, so he can still fully work on shoots and mark all the game. I don’t take this for granted, as my previous seniors suffered from cataracts in old age, which affected their ability to work even though their legs were still fit.

Kaliture Toffee Crisp "Toffee" – 8,5 years old
After retiring from breeding, Toffee can now fully enjoy her retirement and continue working as much as possible. She’s still going strong!

Duckmoors All That Jazz "Jazzie" – 5,5 years old
Jazzie has been fully tested recently - full blood check, thyroid check, and eye exam - with excellent results. We’ve decided to breed her now and have chosen a UK stud. We’ll be traveling as soon as she’s in season (October-November)

Duckmoors Call Me Neema "Neema" – 1,5 years old
This was Neema's first eye test, and we’re hopeful she’ll continue with good results in the coming years!

Duckmoors Dreamcatcher "Toby" – 1 year old
This was also Toby’s first eye test, and we are happy with the results, even more that he had his X-rays done too, and the results are super:
* Hips: B
* Elbows: 0/0
* OCD shoulders: unaffected
* Spine: all clear (No vertebral anomalies, Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra, or Spondylosis)

Toby is now ready to fully start his training, and we’re hopeful he’ll join us on some picking-up days soon. He’s already showing excellent skills in his work and looks to be a very promising boy with lovely character!

We couldn’t be prouder of our gang, and we look forward to keeping them happy, healthy, and doing what they love!

🐾 The last puppy from our E litter you know already - Wookie! 🐾
And last but certainly not least, let me introduce you to the puppy who captured everyone's hearts and ended up staying with us - Wookie! From the beginning, I said she wouldn’t stay, but everyone around us loved her and insisted she should be part of our family. So, we did!
Wookie has her pros and cons, like every dog does, I’m not wearing pink glasses when judging my dogs. Only time will show us what we can achieve together. Today, she turns 7 months old, just like the rest of the litter.
Wookie has already joined us on a few short holidays, proving to be an amazing travel buddy. She absolutely loves the car and exploring new places. All the dogs here love her to bits, and she’s easily recognizable as our puppy with the white star on top of her head.
Life has been busy lately, and with the scorching summer in our area, we’ve been spending as much time as possible by the lake or river. Wookie is an absolute water freak, just like all her siblings.

🐾 Introducing our red girl from the E Litter 🐾
Now it's time to introduce a girl who stayed with us the longest and brought up so many questions in my mind. Even now, I still feel like a part of me went with her, and writing about her brings tears to my eyes. But this is the life of a breeder - we can’t keep them all, and we have to make tough decisions. Whether we made the right one or not, only time will tell.
Meet Duckmoors Enchanted Ava, now called Smila. She has moved far from us, but she’s in good company, living in the same town as the Culham gang in Germany, so she’ll still get to meet her family there.
Marion & Jürgen, thank you for taking care of her. Wishing you a beautiful life together with Smila! 🐶💕

🐾 Introducing our purple girl from the E Litter! 🐾
Say hello to Duckmoors Everyday Moonlight, affectionately known as Ayla! This lovely girl is living her 5-star life in a beautiful part of Czechia with her owner, Tereza.
I’m sure Ayla has many exciting adventures ahead, and she’s already proving to be the best travel buddy—these two have already spent some time in Spain together!
Girls, I wish you lots of fun, success in training, and many beautiful adventures ahead! 🐶💜

🐾 Introducing our pink girl from the E Litter! 🐾
Meet Duckmoors Everlasting Meadows, lovingly called Nala. This sweet girl has found her forever home in Hungary, where she’s not the only dog in the house! Nala is already showing her golden retriever friend who's the new boss around here. 😊
Nala is being trained as a gundog, and I’m excited to see her in action at future working tests. A big thank you to Ildikó for providing such a loving home for Nala. Wishing you lots of success and happiness with her! 🐶💗
