Thanks for the opinion about my English but I haven't been using it for some time. Well wait for Warna. She reads some articles in English so her English is wonderful too. I'm not sure about the official site... I'll write to Warna and ask her to give you some clues.

Hi Valia,
unfortunately I cannot tell you a lot about Polish breeders. I'm not a breeder either, I'm only an owner of 2 displastic Goldens. But I can recommend to you a database of Polish kennels: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

We do not have an official Golden Retriever Club in Poland yet, but we are doing are best to register it. Its site is already on the internet: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The person you can contact is Magda from the kennel Adsum who is also a wet and who speaks English. You can find her address on her site: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
She will probably answer all you questions about Goldens in Poland.

The first Polish Golden Retriever was born in Poland in 1992. So we haven't had a long history of this breed. And I must confess that our Goldens are not the most beautiful and Polish level of breeding is quite low.

Polish Goldens have had to be tested for hip dysplasia since January 2006 and this is the only requirement.

We do not have one forum for Goldens' lovers in Poland. There are at least 4 of them. We have for example www.goldenretriever.fora.pl where you can find some English speaking breeders as well.

P.S. My first name comes from your country, but I have never been there.

I'll reply to the other user, after I put my dog's pictures Very Happy

Here she is - my friend, my sweet dog, my heart, my dream. It's been almost 3 years with me and she is all I can dream about it. She is a pet class golden retriever, without pedigree, and I'll never breed her, because of many faults she has according to the breed standard. Despite that fact, she is a true golden retriever - king, biddable, loves to retriever(especially balls), swims, plays, to be center of the attention.
Here she is when she came to my home as a puppy:

At the dog school, training obedience:

With her favorite ball:

With friends:

And finally some snowy and wet pictures Very Happy

The last picture - my Teddy Bear Embarassed

Oh, I think I put too many pictures. I'm sorry about that Embarassed

Not too many!!! Too few!!! We love pictures! The dog is wonderful and beautiful! And Where are you on those photos? In 'Who is Who' we would like to see you too... In 'Galeria' - mostly your dog

And this is also the right place to tell us something more about you. We'd love to know what do you do, how old are you (at least if you are a school or academic student or not), where do you live (town - we love to learn geography Laughing

), do you live alone (parents, boyfriend or a husband?)
I'm sorry for so many questions but everyone goes through the same process and sooner or later we know everything about each other... Laughing

Thank you akbar.han.bl, lily, pikolinka for the kind words about my girl Very Happy

I don't want to full in the topic with pictures. My father once told me, this dog had millions of pictures, so don't make me start posting them Wink

I'll put pictures of me, but I'm not on my computer right now. Later this day I'll do that.
Hehehe, in our forum we know almost everything about each other, I'm sure here is the same situation Very Happy

It's like in the forum is your second family. Well...I'm still 23 years old, last year in the university. I live in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria - Here you can find some beautiful photos:

I still live with my parents, but I hope soon to change this. I'm a member in the Bulgarian Golden Retriever Club since 2005 and I'm a bad moderator in our forum Twisted Evil

I guess, that's all about me.
I feel like a celebrity in this topic Laughing

The pictures of your town and you country are really breath taking! Thank you for all the information about you.
How is your Polish? Are you reading anything in our language?

Hi Valia.

It's beautiful photos, of dog and country. I've never been in Bulgaria, but I've been in Romania, near Bulgaria border. Are these countries similar? Romania is a beautiful country, and I think Bulgaria too.

PS: Sorry, for my english. I know, it is'nt very good. I understand what I read, but to write is a problem

RobertQ, your English it's just OK. If you don't remember how to say a particular word in English, write it down in Polish, I'll figure it out Wink

About Bulgaria and Romania. I've never been in Romania, but I hope I'll visit it soon. The main differences between the two countries are the language and the territory size. I guess the landscape is different as well, but we have similarity in some customs. We joined the European Community together and we are linked in this area.
akbar.han.bl, actually while I was looking at your breeder's sites I found out that I can understand most of the words.
For example:
o nas - should mean "about us"
nasze psy - our dogs
potomstwo - progeny
nowości - news
etc. When I have enough time I'll start reading the forum as a whole and I hope soon I'll have a progress in my Polish
Very Happy
