We purchased our first Golden Retriever as a pet in 1983. Our interest in showing began in a similar way to many peoples, we attended obedience classes with 'Amber of Saint Margarets' and became interested in the ringcraft training that was running in conjunction with the obedience classes. Although 'Amber' was successful in a modest way, we very soon realised that she was no showgirl. We decided to add another Golden to our family and in 1985, 'Barklands X-Planation of Messano' joined us. We bred our first litter in 1988, and 'Bracken' is in the pedigree of all our dogs that we have bred. Our second litter, born in 1990, contained our 'Blue Babies', 'Messano Blueprint' 'Jamie' and 'Messano Blue Savannah', 'Briar'. These two were responsible for our early success, especially 'Jamie'. His show career included a Res. CC, 5 x BIS and 5 x RBIS. He also won dozens of BOB's and the ECGRC points trophy on two occasions. He had brains as well as beauty and was the holder of a SGWC. He also sired many beautiful puppies and was a 'Local Legend' for the superb temperament that was passed to his offspring.

In 1996 we had the honour of owning the winner of the Dog World / Pedigree Chum Top Golden Retriever with 'Ch Ritzilyn Barrow Boy for Messano' 'Boysie' made many of our dreams a reality, and he sired many puppies that inherited his happy, extrovert nature and good looks. Boysie is either the Father, Grand-Father or Great Grandfather of all the bitches currently living at Messano, we owe him and Bracken, who is also in all the bitches pedigrees, a debt of gratitude for providing us with such sound genes to breed from.
