UPDATED NEWS:  GLENAYDEN HAVE RELOCATED BACK HOME TO NSW AS OF 17/12/07.

Both Dennis and myself would like to say thank you to all the lovely people within the Gundog group and other groups that have made us so welcome.  You have a lovely state and the show facilities are fantastic and we think the best in this country, will be hard to return to dog shows in the rain!!!!  Our dogs have made their presence felt in the show ring being the most consistent winning cockers over the past five years, which has not made some fellow exhibitors all that happy but that is what strong competition is all about.  Ken Morden of Kenby Cockers, who sadly passed away not long after we arrived, made an interesting and true statement when he heard we were coming: 'No problem he said we must lift the bar and try harder' some did and have done well.   We have always and will continue to strive to breed and show the very best quality cockers we can and will also search the world to access dogs to help us meet this goal and the one thing our cockers will always have and we pride this kennel on is MERRY TEMPERAMENT, DOGS HOUSED AND KEPT IN LOVING AND CLEAN SURROUNDINGS AND NEVER KEEP MORE THAN WE CAN LOOK AFTER. Our cockers are our pride and joy and we look forward to many more years of continued success.    

GLENAYDEN  ARE PROUD TO SAY WE ARE PEDIGREE GOLD PARTNERS, OUR DOGS HAVE PROVEN TO EXCEL ON  PEDIGREE ADVANCE!!

Our stock has been used successfully by other cocker breeders and have also enjoyed much success with their dogs. We would like to take this opportunity to thank these people and wish them continued success for the furture. 

Over to you to take a stroll through the family and hope you enjoy the dogs as much as we do.
