Keweras Oldies and Rescued Goldies - Molly

Molly is 7. She came to us at 10 months from a family in Plymouth where things weren't working out for her. She was very nervous at first, wetting the floor and fearful of eating her food, but all that is way behind her now, and she is the happiest most loving dog imaginable. She chills out every day to some calming music with her feet up in the air...very comical. She is the world's greatest swimmer, and is extremely reluctant to get out of the water once in! We just love her to bits.

Keweras Oldies and Rescued Goldies - Gemma

Gemma is 7. She had several homes before eventually ending up at Barnsgold with us. She was grossly overweight at 42 kilos when she arrived, but I have got her down to approximately 32 kilos, and she is so much happier for it. She is such a sweetheart...having little conversations with me when she thinks it's time for a snack. She slotted in with my other dogs as if she had lived here forever. We love having her in our home. She will live her days out here, and never know anywhere else as home again.

Keweras Oldies and Rescued Goldies - Ria

Ria is 9. She was one of the dogs included in my former partnership, who has stayed on with me. She is very special to me, as I experienced my first puppy delivery with her. I was in complete awe of her as she had pup after pup, and just got on with it...no fuss, just sheer devotion to the survival of her young. Ria is an extremely pretty girl, and loves nothing more than having her tummy tickled every day. She loves it here at Barnsgold, and we love having her as part of our beautiful family.

New Additions - Tegan

Tegan is my new addition to the Keweras family. She is now 6 months old, and is already a typically cuddly Keweras family member. She is a lovely dark girl with a beautiful light flash on her head. Her Mum, Tillie did a wonderful job of raising her, and her 11 litter mates. I look forward to watching Tegan develop into a fully grown member of our incredible family. She is very much loved already. She is her father's daughter, being almost the mirror image of Tamar in her ways and behaviour. Two Tamars...............not too sure about that!!

Typical Keweras Puppies

Here are some Typical pups from the Keweras Household:

Gone but never forgotten - Honey

Honey was my first ever Golden Retriever. She was the most amazingly devoted dog you could ever wish to meet. She used to help carry the shopping in from the car, running in and out of the house excitedly for the next bag. When she went for her walk, she would wait until she reached a certain point and then insist on carrying her pooper scooper home! She once ran right across the cricket pitch from the pavillion with a large bottle in her mouth to give my husband a drink...then ran all the way back to me with it. Honey became unwell at a very young age, and was finally diagnosed with lymphoma when she was 2 years and 5 months old. She was so ill that I did the only thing I could for her, and had her put to sleep. I have never stopped missing her, and doubt I ever will, but I am able to smile about the very special times we shared, which are firmly fixed in my heart and mind., and always will be.

Gone but never forgotten - Pebbles

Pebbles came to me aged 8 years. She was in a mess, and very overweight at 46.4 kilos. From the minute she set eyes on me we bonded in the most incredible way. She never left my side, not even when out on free runs in the field with our other 3 Goldies. I got her weight down to 32 kilos which gave her a whole new lease of life. Wherever I was, she was and vice-versa. She became ill at Christmas in 2004. At that time Bili (my 'cleft pallette' pup) had just been born. I chose to call him Bili because it means 'Pebble' in Cornish. Pebbles lost her sight at the end of her life aged just 10, but still ran across the field to me - such was her trust of me. I discovered that she had a tumour of the spleen, which was leaking blood into her abdomen...hence the fact that she had 'blown up' inside. She was too ill to go on, and I had to do what was right for her, and end her suffering. Pebbles was exceptional, and will, as with Honey, never leave my heart or mind.
