Awrey Gold began in 1999 committed to breeding proven hunting Golden Retrievers with sound health and temperament. (Awrey is Kent's family last name which was lost a few generations ago.) 

 

     We are committed and dedicated to the integrity of the foundations of the Golden Retriever.  Our Golden Retrievers exemplify the qualities and standards as described by AKC and the GRCA. 

 

      We achieve this through training, participating in hunt/field programs and ethical breeding practices. Our dogs have all OFA clearances (hips, hearts, elbows and thyroid), CERF clearance in addition to PRA/PRCD cleared(normal). 

     We are responsible breeders and owners of Golden Retrievers. We love our dogs and devote ourselves to assure their health and quality of life. We are active in both the AKC Hunt test programs,GRCA Field events and NAHRA Field Test programs. Kent has hunted with both Brandi and Duke. 

     Since 1999 we have worked to encourage other Golden Retriever owners to explore the Hunt/Field programs in helping to maintain the natural abilities that are the essential foundations to the Golden Retriever.  (One doesn't have to be a hunter to enjoy the 'game' of the Hunt/Field programs -- as Debbie can testify.) 

 

      We have participated and assisted many clubs with hunt/field events. These events include training days, private training sessions, AKC Hunt Tests, NAHRA Field Tests and GRCA WC/WCX tests.

 

     Kent has been an inspiration to many in his committment in the Hunt/Field programs. What began as a simple interest in seeing what a retriever can do has developed into a vision and committment to the betterment of the future of the Golden Retriever. Kent not only trains and hunts with our dogs,  he is a judge for both  AKC and NAHRA hunt test programs.

 

     Debbie became active in training in 2005 with  Annie.  Currently Debbie is training Cori with goal of AKC Master Hunter with guidance from Tom & Katie Quarles.
    

     Together we work to raise sound litters with countless hours of socialization and monitoring. We are excited for the future and future Golden Retriever owners who, like us, want a sound quality Golden that can be found faithful in the field and home.
