Bralmico Golden Retrievers is only a small Kennel situated approximately 1 hour South of Brisbane Central.  The dogs are as much apart of our family as our children.  Hence choosing our Kennel name 'Bralmico' after the four of them, Brennan, Aleisha, Michael and Connor.

Our aim is to breed soundly structured dogs with exceptional temperaments suitable for loving, forever homes. We don't breed often however when we do it's usually to keep something for ourselves. 
All our dogs are tested for Hip/Elbow displaysia, Eyes & Heart. Original Certificates are available to be viewed upon request.

Cooper has enjoyed working part time at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Ward as a Delta Pet Therapy Dog.  He has made some wonderful friends during this time and although we're taking a break at the moment, we look forward to returning at some time in the near future.

The Show Ring is most favorable in filling our time at the moment, however we do like to do the occasional Obedience Trial or Endurance Test. 

I hope you enjoy browsing our Web Site and if there's anything further you'd like to know please don't hesitate to contact us.

Where Do Puppies Come From

A puppy mill or puppy farm is a large dog breeding facility created to mass produce puppies for profit.

Likened to battery hens, the breeding dogs are kept in cages or pens for their entire life with the sole purpose of producing puppies for the pet shop, internet and overseas markets.

Pet shops require a constant supply of cute, young puppies and individual shops can take more than 20 a week. Multiply that by the number of pet shops found in shopping centres throughout Australia and you have the perfect distribution network for an industry producing hundreds of puppies with little concern paid to quality, health or temperament.

Factory farmed dogs get no veterinary intervention when they need respite from their pain and suffering. They live in filth, sometimes without adequate food or water. Their coats are often matted with faeces and stained with urine. Ear infections and ear mite infestations are common as is painful dental and gum disease.

Many dogs slowly go insane. They spin in circles or pace back and forth in their cells, some never see daylight, and the outside world is a foreign place to them. Should any dogs be lucky enough to be rescued once outside in the open they still circle and pace as if they are still incarcerated.

They shy away from human hands as they have never known kindness. The dogs are deprived of even their basic needs as the current law is only concerned with food shelter and water. The dog's psychological and social needs are ignored on factory farms.
