Hunting
All of our Goldens hunt wild birds around 30 days each fall season. They love hunting! They are highly AKC titled: when not hunting they compete in top level performance dog sports and field events and obtain conformation designations. Their success and versatility is a result of sound breeding and proven training methods.
Color
Why are they so light colored? This is the most common question we get. The British Kennel Club standard allows for the colors gold to cream. Cream colored Goldens are accepted and common in the U.K. and other European countries. Coat color is not an indicator of health, temperament, or working ability.
Pedigrees
The Goldens we own are imports from the UK, Sweden and other developed countries and are only from the best lines. They have top pedigrees from some of the oldest and most established kennels in England, Scotland and Sweden. Their pedigrees are full of proven champions for 5 or more generations. Excellent breeding ensures health, temperament, longevity, working ability, and conformational correctness.
The Name Lochinvar
Sir Walter Scott's 1808 poem "Lochinvar" inspired our naming. The following is a short excerpt from the original poem:
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war,
There never was knight like young Lochinvar.
