Meet the Founder
Mary Coles
Founder of Kiteroa Golden Retrievers
I have been breeding dogs for 50 years, with some showing early on. I started with Cocker and Springer spaniels but switched to Golden Retrievers when my children came along, as I wanted the safest family dog to raise them with. Now I concentrate on breeding the best family pets and some obedience training. All my dogs have been tested for every possible health test for Golden Retrievers. We only breed healthy dogs with good hip and elbow scores, clear heart and eye tests, and a Full breed DNA profile at Orivet.
I have adopted the “Puppy Culture” practice of Early Neurological Stimulation and enrichment exercises. This program produces amazingly resilient, confident, enrichment-seeking puppies that develop into well-rounded, outgoing, operant adults who are happy, socially successful, and trainable.
Our home is on a lovely 16-acre farm in Central West NSW, near Orange, where my dogs can play and swim.
