Flat Coated Retriever Breeders, VIC

I have owned Flat Coated Retrievers for 20 years and previously worked as a Veterinary Nurse. Our dogs compete acorss conformation, rally, obedience and more recently retrieving. They have passed hip, elbow and eye screening with results lower than breed average. They love to work and play and are wonderful companions for our children. Bloom (Peppatreeohtheplacesyoullgo) received 3 passes to earn her Rally Novice title in 2024. She won bitch challenge and runner up best of breed at The Melbourne Royal 2024 as well as reserve bitch challenge as a puppy at the Flat Coated Retriever Club of Victoria Championship Show in 2022. Next litter planned January 2025. Please enquire via email [email protected]

I'm a small kennel situated in beautiful Bellbrae on Surfcoast of Victoria. My kennel name is KOACÚ pronounced (koa-coo). Koa is Maori for happy, joyful. And CÚ is old Gaelic for dog. HAPPY JOYFUL DOG is exactly how I would describe the Flat Coated Retriever. I've had a life long love for Flat Coated Retrievers as my parents have owned them for 40+ years. I was so grateful to add, CH. ARANGOLD LABOUR OF LOVE (IMP NZL) aka Moo to our family in March 2021. Thanks to Margaret Hean of Arangold Retrievers NZ. I have taken courses in Dog Behavioural Training, and Pup and Young Dog development. I'm passionate about the health and genetics of dogs. I have a knowledge and understanding of the responsibilities, and the work required raising a litter of pups throughout those crucial early developmental weeks. I plan to use my training to produce the healthiest, happiest, most confident and well-tempered puppies I can. Moo has passed all her health checks, with a great hip/elbow score, clear eye certificate including Gonioscopy, and a clear EMBARK genetic health check, testing for over 250 genetic markers.

My first Flat Coat arrived in 1984 and although Tara was not a show dog, she taught me how wonderful the temperament of this breed is. 1993 saw the arrival of Inji into my life and the introduction to the conformation and breeding world. Her first litter produced Tali, my first male. Inji and Tali (hence the kennel name) were a delight to live with and were my first two show champions. 1998 Elly (Ch Kellick Carn Of Cailiche CCD) arrived and was my foundation bitch. Her first litter produced Jy (Ch Injitali In The Black CD). In 2004 Elly's second litter saw the arrival of Baloo (Gr Ch Injitali Intrigue CCD RN). Baloo's first litter produced Booker who is Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Injitali Sir Bouncealot. Extremely naughty and highly intelligent. Best dog ever when I need a cuddle. 2011 saw the arrival of Baloo's second litter and I kept two pups. Seeker is now Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Injitali Intriguing Secret. Tiger is Dual Gr Ch (TS) Dual Ch (T) Intriguing Tale. 2017 Seeker produced Lani (Ch Injitali Treasure Seeker). I call Lani "The Apprentice" as she delights in copying and watching Uncle Booker's clever and naughty antics. 3 Dual Grand Champions was not something I thought I would ever do when I first started with Flat Coats. So proud of them all.

Kellick is the oldest Flat Coated Retriever breeding kennel in Australia & New Zealand; we have owned Flat Coated Retrievers since 1975 owning 2 of the foundation stock one from England & the other from New Zealand. Kellick has had a number of imported dogs over the life of the kennel from New Zealand, England, Scotland and, 3 males from Sweden. Further more recently imported frozen semen from working lines in Finland. Importation is required to refresh the kennels gene pool and keep it healthy. All breeding stock is health checked suitable for breeding. Puppies available occasionally. Our dogs are active in the hobby of Retrieving Trialing. As the breed is a Gun dog and was originally bred for retrieving game when man lived off the land. Here at Kellick we continue to stimulate this instinct in our dogs by competing in Retrieving trials of which is an assimilation of duck shoot using dead pigeons as the game. Our dogs enjoy this hobby as it is in their blueprint to retrieve.

We have been exhibiting, working and breeding Labrador Retrievers for nearly 20 years, and more recently we have added our Flat Coated Retrievers. Home to champions in both Retrieving and Conformation, we breed for temperament, soundness and conformation. All our puppies are raised in the family home, come with a lifetime of support and meet all health testing requirements.
