well-mannered Golden Retrievers
Since 1986
We are Lesley, Teresa and Michael Layland and together with our dogs we are Applecote Golden Retrievers a small and select show kennel based in Leicestershire, the heart of rural England.
Our dogs are first and foremost much loved and valued members of the family, who live in our home and share the comfort of our sofa.
Our dogs regularly compete at shows up and down the country throughout the year but, when not at shows they are just like any other dog; enjoying walks and time off lead, getting mucky and definitely getting up to monkey business!
We are proud to have breed; a UK Show Champion, South African Champion, Russian Champion, Junior Warrant winner, and dogs who have gained entry into the Kennel Club stud book; qualifying them for Crufts for life. Our dogs also regularly win at Championship shows and Open show too. However and more importantly they are beautiful and confident family pets.
As we are a select kennel we have litters available very occasionally. We health test our dogs for the hereditary conditions; hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and eye disease as well as run DNA tests for GR_pra1 & 2 and ICT-A. We only want to breed from the very best so when selecting a sire not only do we look for an outstanding temperament and excellent health results but also one that excells in breed type and characteristics too.
