Our love affair with Golden Retrievers started in 1986, like many of us with a backyard bred dog. We purchased our third golden puppy , who became CH Toasty's Perfect Pitch RE CD CGC aka AJ, from Pamela & Jerome Oxenberg founders of the Toasty Golden Retriever kennel. Pam & Jerry are extremely successful in the Dog Show World of Conformation. They have bred the number one (2009) Sporting dog Ch Toasty's Treasure Island , Best of Breed Winners at Westminister Dog Show, many Best In Show winners and Outstanding Sires and Dams.
We are extremely fortunate to have Pam & Jerry as very good friends and the best mentors we could have. We are thrilled to be able to carry the Toasty Golden Retriever Kennel heritage into the future.
We are members of the Golden Retriever Club of America, Everglades Golden Retriever Club ( past President and lifetime members), Mid Florida Golden Retriever Club, Sandlapper Golden Retriever Club and Oak Ridge Kennel Club.
Our breeding program adheres to the Golden Retriever breed standard with health and temperment being the ultimate importance. All our adults are health screened (hips, elbows, heart and eyes following the GRCA code of ethics) as well as a variety of other inherited diseases.
We compete with our dogs in various sports, such as Conformation, Obedience and Rally. First and formost, our dogs are family members first who sleep on our bed, and we enjoy just spending time with all of them.
