Welcome to our Website
I live in the North of Glasgow near the Campsie Hills with my Husband and our three daughters.
We are a small show/breeding kennel which was established in 1985 when we purchased our first Golden "Sheera".
Our breeding programme began with the purchase of our first show golden, "Kim" Barncluith Dorian, from Mrs Gwen Leggate of the Barncluith Kennel. All my dogs are line bred back to our foundation Bitch Kim. Thanks must go to Gwen for the early knowledge she imparted of breeding and breed lines. This knowledge has been the foundation on which we have continued to build.
At Rigerin we strive to breed Golden Retrievers that are 'Fit for Function' and as close to the Breed Standard as possible. The emphasis is to produce dogs of good construction and with the excellent temperament, and the kind, biddable nature which is the typical characteristic of the breed.
All our dogs are hip scored and hold current clear eye certificates.
They are first and foremost much loved pets and are shown as a hobby. I have established many long standing friendships during our years of showing.
