Prefix : TREVALLEY (Flat Coated Retriever)
We were joined by our first Flatcoat in 1988, since then we have never been without a Flatcoated Retriever. Originally from the UK, after 16 years in the South Island we now live in the Waikato. We registered our Trevalley Kennel name in 2004.
Our dogs are integral to our family life, they all live in our home, Flatcoats need to be a part of your life, they love company, they don't enjoy being kennelled or left alone for long periods. They are a very “helpful” breed.
We work and show our dogs, a true dual-purpose breed, our dogs are "fit for life, fit for purpose”. Claire is a conformation judge and is New Zealand’s only Flatcoated Retriever Specialist confirmation judge, she can also award challenges in Toys, Terriers, Gundogs. Hounds and Working. Amyas enjoys taking part in field trials and training the dogs, our grownup children both have a Flatcoat and share a passion for the breed.
Our dogs are from well-respected UK kennels, who produce beautiful, classical lines, we are very proud of the pedigrees behind our dogs and grateful to have some very knowledgeable mentors who have become very close friends.
We breed infrequently, only when we want a puppy ourselves. We put a great deal of time, thought and love into our litters.
Our dogs are proudly fed on Black Hawk and puppies come with a complimentary bag of food & puppy pack
Our dogs are Hip / Elbow / Eye and DNA tested.
