Welcome to our web site
We are a small kennel situated in Leicestershire and our home overlooks the beautiful English countryside
Our love affair with Golden Retrievers started 19 years ago when we wanted two bitch puppies to join our family, thus making it complete, 18 months later two bundles of joy came to live with us, changing our lives completely. We were introduced to showing and we were hooked. We bought our first show puppy from Lynne and George Hennessy followed by another this time a bitch puppy in the name of Ritzilyn Chickadee for Straland (Lilly) at that time we were living in Guernsey and in the summer of 2001 we decided to move back to Leicestershire. In May 2003 our beautiful Lilly became a Show Champion, we co-owned her with Lynne and George and she was expertly and patiently handled by George.

From those humble beginnings back to the present day we currently own eight Goldens and one German Shepherd.
All our dogs live with us in our home as much loved members of the family.
Thank you for visiting the Straland Web Site and we hope you enjoy looking at all our dogs.
