Sweet Spirit
On the 16th of March we had to say goodbye to our darling Spirit, ‘Champion Cambermere Olympic Spirit’, at the age of 13 years 7 months.
We miss her sweet presence, her gentle, happy acceptance of the good things in life.
Spirit’s best loves in life we’re, running over our land and the cuddles and loves she received every day.
Showing was not her love but she did it for her mum, however, the trips away were,Staying with her loved dad, Graham, and all the new and exciting experiences that can along with chasing the all desired Championship was.
I miss you to the bones of my being, as we all do.
Cuddle up my love, with your fluffy family, especially your mum and Diego, until we are together again.
A Moment of Silence
On the 6th of October, we lost our very special Diego to sudden illness.
He was taken form us too soon, 3 months short of 11 years.
Three words described our beautiful boy. He was the gentlest, kindest, and happiest Golden we have ever met or had the privilege of having part of our family.
He loved people, especially his family. He adored the show ring, gaining his championship against outstanding competition, however chasing Rabbits, Pukeko’s and Pheasants over our land was a daily delight for him.
Most of all we will miss his gentle cuddles and ever wagging tail.
To those that have Diego’s puppies, hold them close, they had an exceptional dad.
Thanks to Debbie Davis of Shawfire Kennels for breeding our amazing boy and thanks to Lorraine Handley of Gofetch Kennels for allowing Debbie to use our lovely Azra.
Run free our darling boy, our hearts are broken without you and your gentle, loving presence.Be happy until we meet again.

Gone Too Soon
After 11 years and 2 months we lost our darling Solo on the 18th of May 2018. Affectionate to everyone she met, this girl had nothing but love to give and never failed to put a smile on the face of anyone she came into contact with. All we can say is thank you Solo for the 11 years and 2 months of joy and love you brought to Cambermere kennels.
A Life of Love
On the 24th of December 2017, we lost our much loved Melody at 15 years, 3 months of age. Melody filled our lives with love, joy, and fun. There is nothing I would have changed about my little girl and soul mate. She lived to love and be loved. Fly free my love until we meet again.
