Hi Nick and Elaine,

A short note to update you on Finlays progress - he’s the most amazing boy.

Bailey (who we got from you 2.5 years back) and Fin are inseparable!

At 9 weeks Fin learned to run up and surf down the stairs (!), had learned to alert us to need to potty, and by only 12 weeks he no longer needed a crate to sleep and by 4 months he was off lead at the park and copying Bailey with commands - amazing. It’s like he came ready-programmed! 

Both boys enjoy a complete raw diet and their favorite treats are hairy rabbit ears & raw beef trachea.

At 5 months old, Fin is eating for Britain and almost as big as Bailey already! He’s also 99% muscle from tormenting poor Bailey 23 out of every 24hrs (payback, Bailey!

As you’ll see, he’s beautiful and he has the most gentle nature to match

Now we just need to get past the travel sickness stage !!

We are stunned by our amazing puppy Bjorn from Bonsaviour. He settled in to our home so quickly & these first four weeks have been a wonderful experience. He was already trained to mess on paper, he sat the first time I said ‘sit’ (I couldn’t believe my eyes!) he slept all night every night, got on with our cat from their first meeting, I could go on! I highly recommend to anyone to choose your puppy from Bonsaviour, you will have a healthy, happy, confident & intelligent loving family dog.
Thanks so much Nick.Laney & Dave

Hi Nick, Just a note to say thank you for all your advice about our "Freddie", he is settling in very well and you have clearly done an amazing job with his house training (of course he's an A student too), he knew exactly where to go after the first visit and looks so pleased with himself when he pulls off the trick time and again. Looking forwards to getting to know our new puppy and it's very reassuring to know we have your support if and when we need it. He's so confident and outgoing I think he's clearly had a great start in life. I'll keep you updated on his progress, but in the meantime thanks again!

Hi “Marley “ We have one of your son's, he is now 14 mths old. His mum is “Honey” from Crewe, he is stunning to look and very friendly with people. We called him “Marley” after his dad because we loved the name. He is the most beautiful dog we have ever owned. I will try and send you a PIC if you like and in 2 years time I would love to own another of your pups but at the moment we are going to enjoy our beautiful handsome cuddly boy.

Hi Nick,Just to let you know puppy Archie is doing really well. He is a very intelligent (very quick to learn things) and confident young lad. A real pleasure to have and a credit to your knowledge and understanding as a breeder.As you can see he has become very close to big brother! Couldn't be happier with him

Janet Chetter

Thank you both (and Amber's mum and dad!) for such a lovely puppy. She is full of fun and wonderful with the grandchildren. I can't believe how fast she is growing and can't wait to take her for walks
Regards Janet

Hi Nick, Just an update on Kyla, what an amazing dog she is! Absolutely loves all her dog friends and is a star at puppy class. She finds fish just so irresistible which is great for training. She loves to be outside exploring and is a keen digger...the beach is a great place to dig holes! When washing goes missing or slippers we know who has them!
We were at a pet show in Staffordshire last weekend and the lady told us to enter the puppy section of the dog show...of course Kyla came out with a first! She then went on to win overall reserve best in show!

Pam

How you are keeping well. Thought you would like an update on Holly. She is such a lovely dog. Loves fuss (just like her doggy Mom). Still a puppy at heart. Not done too bad with the chewing stage, did attack the skirting and a bit of the wall but easily sorted. She passed her Kennel Club good citizen puppy and her bronze award. very proud. She stops on our bed when we are out (we put a throw over it) and not even move when we come home. Lol

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas..

I bought my puppy Lilly from Nick at Bonsaviour, I was amazed of the quality and the health of his puppies, Nick believes it is the natural diet that he feeds his dogs and puppies, everything he feeds is 100% natural, i will always continue with the diet for the health of my Lilly, the service and after care is excellent, I would recommend anyone to buy a puppy from him.

Lisa

I used Marley as a stud dog for my Kadi and from the minute I met Nick I felt at ease, Kadi loved Marley and she went on to have 9 beautiful pups, 6 girls 3 boys all thriving and are now 3wks old :)X
So a huge thanks to you Nick and hopefully see you again soon.

Charlotte Budd

Hi Nick, Just wanted to say thank you so much for our wonderful puppy, Bodie. He settled in from day 1 and is such a happy, confident little pup (who is growing fast now!). Everyone who meets him falls in love, and he certainly knows how to work us. We would recommend your puppies to anyone and I have a feeling we will be back again when it's time to give Bodie a playmate!

If you are looking for a golden retriever puppy then look no further than Bonsaviour. Nick is an experienced breeder & his dogs have the most amazing temperaments. As far as the puppies are concerned nothing is too much trouble for Nick and he raises them in a loving home environment alongside his own dogs. As a result the puppies are secure confident & affectionate & waste no time setting into their new family homes. This is my first dog & Nick has been a wealth of information & kept me updated with regular photos & videos of my puppy so I could follow her progress. I would highly recommend bonsaviour puppies - you won't be disappointed!!

Emily

Hi Nick, I hope this finds you well, I just wanted to send you a couple of snaps of Clover recently. She is absolutely wonderful and I can't imagine my life without her now. Everywhere we go people complement on how gentle she is. Her and my son are inseparable and spend all their time together. She is defiantly a water baby, see picture covered in mud from the pond. She even tries to get In the bath with my son when it's bath time. I've never seen another dog like her, her breed is just amazing. Your dog's really are a credit to you.Thanks again!

Tracey

Dear Nick It's now been a week since we collected Georgie Girl. What a difference a puppy makes to your life! She is adorable. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly she got use to her crate. She does well to sleep through the night till 6:30. The tripe and bran is consumed very quickly as is her breakfast of Rivita and goats milk. I've tried her on her lead around the garden but she's not too happy with being led. Second injections tomorrow and another week of being in the garden then out for walks.I would like to thank you for giving us a beautiful pet who has already become part of our family.

Marius

Many years of experience, very good communication from the very beginning, regular updates about the mum and the puppies, with lots of pictures and useful information and tips; that's what I expect from the professional breeder and that's why I definitely recommend Nick from Bonsaviour Retrievers. Pixie has been with us a week and we already love her very much! Fabulous and very intelligent dog with excellent temperament. Thanks very much Nick!

Vicky

We've just had our puppy from Nick and can't recommend him highly enough. We had regular updates on how the puppies were doing right from the start. Nick's dedication was obvious from how healthy and happy the pups were. Mum and dad (Sadie and Marley) were well cared for with beautiful temperaments. Our puppy, Nala has settled really well. She is fab with our 3 children and our older dog because she's been well socialised. Thank you Nick for all your hard work!

From the first request to go on a waiting list, through to anxiously waiting for our puppy to be born, to the puppy day when we first met her and up to the day we brought her home, Nick has been so helpful and the communication and photos he's sent, have been great. I cannot get over what a calm, placid and beautiful temper our puppy has, thanks to the good breeding of such wonderful dogs. I will be returning to buy another dog from Nick at some point, as I know I will get a fantastic dog from an excellent, professional and friendly breeder.

We are over the moon with our little Holly. She is really coming into her own now and showing her personality. When we picked up Holly from Nick on 7th January, he was very helpful with advice and tips. All his dogs have a lovely temperament and was coming to us for fuss. I was worried that she would not use her crate but she went straight into it. She was a little timid to start out with but became more adventurous each day and now she is into everything, like a puppy should be. All the people at work (I work in a vets) said what a beautiful dog she is and in beautiful body condition. She has had her 2nd vaccination so will be able to go out on Saturday. Can't wait to show her off. Thank you Nick

Holly & Cameron

Choosing our puppy was made easy by Nick who start to finish kept us updated with pictures and videos and helpful tips on how to ease our puppy into family life. From the first visit the adult dogs there so you could see how fantastic the adult dogs temperaments were and how well they behaved around children. Bringing our puppy home was made easier by Nick easing them inside the home so our puppy was already used to all the sounds of a home and has settled in perfectly! I would highly recommend Bonsaviour puppies!

Emily

From start to finish- choosing our puppy to bringing her home, Nick made the whole experience amazing. I had done a lot of research before we decided to get a puppy and find the right one and had been in touch with Nick even before the puppies had been born. It is clear both mum and the pups have a fantastic temperament, and the care they receive is outstanding. Nick kept me updated constantly and sent photos of the puppies growing weekly and made sure I had all the information to aid the best upbringing for our puppy.I highly recommend Bonsaviour retrievers!!Thank you once again Nick, I couldn't be happier.

We have recently bought our little puppy from bonsaviour and couldn't fault them at all. We would definitely recommend them to anyone. Nick raised the puppies up with his own dogs- in a very loving home. For this reason, our puppy is a very confident and happy pup and this is down to Nick.
He has been fantastic with giving us any information if we were unsure on anything which fills us with confidence.
Also it was so lovely being sent photos and videos from when the mother was pregnant to when our baby was 8 weeks old, it was so nice to see him grow into the little boy he is now.
We couldn't thank Nick enough for everything he did. Nothing we asked was ever too much for him and we really appreciate it.
We would 100% recommend bonsaviour. If you want a golden retriever puppy come here!!

Nigel Parry

Highly recommends Bonsaviour.

Nick helped us with the first mating for our lovely girl with his super stud dog Marley. 8 weeks later a litter of 7 wonderful pups were born with great temperaments and character emerging more every day. We kept one ourselves and the other 6 were sold within minutes due to the great pedigree lines. Thanks Nick for the help you gave us !
As for the negative reviews, I can vouch that these guys can be hard to reach but when you visit you can see how incredibly busy but caring they are it makes sense - often the best things are the hardest to get.
