Ian Mckenna 5 Star licence breeder

Based in Settle in the Yorkshire Dales, this Golden Retriever breeding establishment cares for 16 dogs in a rural setting of hills and green meadows. The dogs are not kept in kennels: they share a home environment and have open space in which to move about and explore. Daily routines combine activity with rest. The retrievers can run in fields, play, investigate their surroundings and enjoy the grass and nearby streams. Quieter dogs may settle close to the household, while livelier ones are especially keen to play. Soft beds indoors, a place near the fireplace and sunny lawn areas offer places to relax. At the end of the day, the dogs rest together in the home environment after time outdoors. The establishment describes them as part of family life, pairing close companionship with the open landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. It is licensed by Craven District Council.
