Alnclair Golden Retrievers

Australian Champion Alnclair Rickys Revenge

Ricky is our resident "goof ball" - he adores attention and is keen to please all the time, another boy who is SOOO easy to live with.  Ricky has had some great wins at Golden Retriever championship shows where many visiting UK judges have awarded him highly and he has also produced some lovely progeny, being behind our current young girls. 

Ricky is proudly owned, bred and deeply loved by us both - REST IN PEACE now sweet boy.
