The beginnings of golden retriever breeding

WHO ARE WE?

Become part of our family

Sunny side of Alps

My name is Irena

I am not young anymore, but I am not old either. In fact, in my heart, I will never be old.
I have worked in many different fields in my life: from nurse, journalist at a regional radio, amateur actress, cleaner, Member of the National Assembly, spokesperson, … Today I am a breeder of golden retrievers, a Pilates and aerobics trainer, we have a kennel Sunny side of Alps, a cardio Pilates studio Fit vision and a dog hotel Fitlux dog hotel.

Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember

In my childhood there was a Rolfi at the house, a big mix, I think a mix of a Carpathian Shepherd and a Shar-Plane. Then, in the fifth or sixth grade, I bought my first, very pedigreed German Boxer, Don, from my savings, and I switched to the golden retriever Oda, after him, and stayed loyal to the breed.

HAPPY DOGS, HAPPY LIFE

It seemed to me that Oda could have puppies. And she had them. Just like that, no papers, no pedigree. I had no idea what it takes to breed, I just wanted to. But after the first litter I started to realise my responsibility. Then everything went on as it should. The number of dogs in our family was growing, the joy was increasing, and the care and the puppies were growing too. I chose this. And I love it. I am sure that they are happy dogs, and I am a happy owner, breeder and caretaker.

WHY CHOOSE US?

I am sure our dogs are happy dogs and our puppies are happy puppies.
We spend most of the day with our dogs. They are with us in our living spaces, with us in the garden, on trips. They have a wonderful dog life. We allow them to be let loose on walks in the woods and meadows. We allow them to take mud baths, roll in the leaves and grass, swim in the stream, the lake, the river. Let them go crazy, play, chase… We allow them to be dogs and to enjoy their canine life.
They are brushed regularly, visit the grooming salon when necessary, and have regular veterinary check-ups. We make sure they eat a healthy diet and have treats suitable for dogs. We believe in nature and common sense. Our dogs are with us from puppyhood to death. We never give up dogs that no longer have puppies. Our senior girls have given the best to us and their new owners, they deserve the best life. When we are looking for a male for our female dog, we choose a male that is primarily healthy, has perfect health and genetic tests, is visually beautiful and has a good temperament. And with owners who like us. This is very important to me.
Equally important is who the new owner of our puppy will be. We have to like it first. He must have that energy…I can’t even tell you, but the one for goldies… And then the talks start. Every puppy is imprinted in my heart, every puppy is special and when it goes to a new home, a piece of my heart goes with it.
