Premium IKC Registered(pending) male Golden Retriever puppy in Clare

An adorable, energetic and much loved Golden Retriever puppy awaits one lucky family.

Born on 28th March 2025 in our family home, Goldilocks (later Goldie when we realised he was actually a boy!) was the only puppy in his litter and has relished the full attention of his wonderful mother Bonnie, his big brother Rex and four lively children. He has been raised inside in our family home and has only known company, love, fun and freedom and we hope to find him a similar forever home.

Both parents are IKC registered and come from a long line of show champions (pedigree available to view).

His father is Lolmar Aharon (Malcolm) of the Lolmar Golden Retrievers stud in Galway, and both Malcom and our family pet Bonnie have been fully health checked with excellent hip and elbow scores (BVA) and clear eye certs. Bonnie's paperwork is available for inspection.

Goldie has been microchipped, wormed and has received his first set of vaccinations. IKC registration is pending, this usually takes a few weeks (and cannot be done before puppies are old enough to be microchipped) and certificate will be sent on to new owner.

Goldie is a beautiful example of a purebred Golden Retriever, displaying a lively, playful and affectionate nature, a good appetite and is starting to house train.
