Gallantry News Update!
To GOD be all the Glory!
From our darkest day to our biggest dream come true. Super proud of our dogs in the recently concluded Philippine Golden Retriever National Breed Specialty 2026! After everything we've been through lately, seeing them out there shining in the ring has left me completely speechless and in tears of pure joy.
It's a beautiful reminder that there is always hope after the storm. Thank you to everyone who held our hands, believed in us, and cheered for our fur babies. They truly are our lifesavers! We love you all!
In 2017, our first home-bred Grand Champion was born; 8 years later, she made us proud after being out of the show for 6 years.
