Shining Dawn is a small kennel which has recently relocated to the Penrith area from a property between Mudgee and Wellington in NSW, Australia. Our girls have taken to the change from quiet country living to city dwellers with close neighbours extremely well. They are loving their outings and coffee shop trips and all of the new people that they are meeting.

Our puppies are very well socialised, spending time with people, in cars, and around other domestic animals. They are raised in the home and have a dedicated play space outside during the day when they are old enough. We use various practices to ensure our pups are well adjusted, including Puppy Culture, ENS and Early Scent Introduction.

All of our dogs are hip and elbow scored and have clear heart and eye certificates. They are DNA tested for all known diseases with current testing available. All tests must come back clear and the animal must have a great temperament before we will use them in our breeding program. We take health and temperament seriously at Shining Dawn.

Our dogs eat only quality foods and they have plenty of room for exercise and play. We are firm believers in letting our dogs be dogs, but also in making sure that they know their manners. Rest assured that you are picking the best when you choose us as the breeder of your new puppy.


We are members of the Golden Retriever Club of NSW and hold Dogs NSW Membership.
