We are happy to share some great news about the Duckmoors family! Yesterday, five of our pack members underwent their annual eye exams and we are happy to report that everyone's eyes are unaffected including gonio (PLA) - even our senior stars!

FTAW Kaliture Finn "Finn" -  11,5 years old
I’m super happy for my old boy, Finn. Passing his eye test is quite important for him, so he can still fully work on shoots and mark all the game. I don’t take this for granted, as my previous seniors suffered from cataracts in old age, which affected their ability to work even though their legs were still fit.

Kaliture Toffee Crisp "Toffee" – 8,5 years old
After retiring from breeding, Toffee can now fully enjoy her retirement and continue working as much as possible. She’s still going strong!

Duckmoors All That Jazz "Jazzie" – 5,5 years old
Jazzie has been fully tested recently - full blood check, thyroid check, and eye exam - with excellent results. We’ve decided to breed her now and have chosen a UK stud. We’ll be traveling as soon as she’s in season (October-November)

Duckmoors Call Me Neema "Neema" – 1,5 years old
This was Neema's first eye test, and we’re hopeful she’ll continue with good results in the coming years!

Duckmoors Dreamcatcher "Toby" – 1 year old
This was also Toby’s first eye test, and we are happy with the results, even more that he had his X-rays done too, and the results are super:
    * Hips: B
    * Elbows: 0/0
    * OCD shoulders: unaffected
    * Spine: all clear (No vertebral anomalies, Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra, or Spondylosis)

Toby is now ready to fully start his training, and we’re hopeful he’ll join us on some picking-up days soon. He’s already showing excellent skills in his work and looks to be a very promising boy with lovely character!

We couldn’t be prouder of our gang, and we look forward to keeping them happy, healthy, and doing what they love!

I’m thrilled to share some wonderful news about Cooper - Duckmoors Brave Skaterboy.  Today was an exciting and nerve-wracking day for Angie as she bravely scheduled an appointment with the highly recommended veterinarian Dr. Wallner in St. Pölten. This appointment was no ordinary vet visit—it was a thorough examination involving X-rays for HD (hip dysplasia), ED (elbow dysplasia), and OCD (osteochondritis dissecans).
Despite initial anxieties, Angie and her boyfriend made the long journey to St. Pölten with Cooper, and their efforts were rewarded with nothing but good news. Dr. Wagner, known for his detailed and patient approach, explained every step of the process, ensuring Angie was present and informed throughout the examination.
The results are in, and they couldn’t be better:

• HD: A/A
• ED: 0/0
• OCD shoulders: unaffected

These results confirm that Cooper is in excellent health, with perfect joints and overall great muscle development. Dr. Wallner was particularly impressed with Cooper’s condition, noting that it’s rare to see a dog at three years old with such impeccable health. He even took the time to ask about Duckmoors, expressing admiration for our breeding program and acknowledging the high standards that have produced such a fantastic Golden Retriever.

Thank you, Angie, for your trust and commitment to Cooper’s health and happiness. Your journey together continues to inspire, and I’m thrilled to see Cooper thriving in every aspect of his life.
My heartfelt congratulations!
