Gemini Goldens (the Original and Authentic) was founded in 2000, by Candi and Dick, in order to develop a unique line of versatile (well-rounded, multi-talented) show dogs. At the same time, we felt that those dogs not exactly suited to the extreme demands of the show ring would make excellent and beautiful pets. We began by arranging the breeding of two Champion Show Dog Hall of Fame Dogs, Kirby and Kahlua, to give us our first Champion show dog, Houston (who eventually earned the exclusive, Versatility Dog Excellent title). We then bred Houston to our Brittany, in the year 2000, and got our first female Champion, Dallas. We gave Dallas to Candi's twin sister, Cindi, and at that time decided to name our kennel "Gemini Goldens" (the Twins). Cindi has since bred Dallas (with our approval as co-owners) and wound up with several successful show dogs including Dylan and True.
Candi and Dick are continuing at Barkingham in the best reputation of Gemini, by breeding only the finest lines and fully guaranteeing the health of all of our puppies. We will not breed a dog that has any trace of a problem in its lines, from cataracts to hip dysplasia. We bring your family a best-quality, pet golden retriever from the finest lines available in the country .
All our puppies have five-generation pedigrees in which each dog has all of its health clearances (hips, heart and eyes). In addition, both parents of all our litters have their elbows cleared as well. Gemini Goldens are certified healthy, and are cared for like our own until they become your own.
