From the first time I spoke to Zelda from Vonladyloch Kennels, I knew she was the breeder for us. We were kept up to date the entire time and followed Kenzie’s progress via photos and videos received from Zelda. It was clear that Kenzie was treated as the princess that she is! She was spoiled rotten and beautifully trained by Zelda and her family.

We received Kenzie on 14 October 2016. She changed our lives with her loving and loyal personality. She is intelligent, playful and fun. She is also great with small children and gets along well with our other animals (a cat and dogs of various ages and sizes; her best friend was our hand-reared Springbuck).
Kenzie is a faithful family companion. Her loyalty and unconditional love make her the ideal family member. She loves travelling and has accompanied us on business and pleasure trips.

We are truly thankful that we learned about Vonladyloch Kennels. We have often recommended them to friends and family. Zelda has stayed in contact over the years. She is the most dedicated and caring breeder.

It’s been three weeks since we brought Miley home and she is so wonderful!! Miley has a temperament unlike any other puppy we have ever seen! She’s sweet, playful, very intelligent, funny, yet peaceful also. Such an awesome combination. We just cannot believe how absolutely wonderful Miley is… We wanted to thank Zelda at Vonladyloch kennels for all her hard work and dedication in raising/breeding these puppies… Zelda, your efforts are clearly evident… We knew the day we got hold of you , we had made the right choice in breeder. Thank you for keeping us updated with daily photos and messages which allowed us to follow Miley’s progress within her litter . You were so professional, so loving and caring with your dogs, it is truly a pleasure to have met you and a blessing to have such a perfect puppy. It’s obvious you love what you do!

Many thanks

I am beyond grateful to have connected with Zelda at Vonladyloch’s for my beloved puppy, Jet. From the moment I inquired about her Golden Retriever puppies, Zelda went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and joyful experience.

Zelda’s dedication to her breeding program is truly remarkable. She not only provides up-to-the-minute updates, including photos and videos, from birth to 8 weeks, but also offers invaluable insights into the care and development of each puppy. From detailed weight charts to personalized feeding recommendations, Zelda’s attention to detail and commitment to the well-being of her puppies are evident every step of the way.

What truly sets Zelda apart is her genuine love and care for each and every puppy she breeds. It’s clear that she pours her heart and soul into her work, ensuring that her puppies are not only healthy and well-adjusted but also showered with love and affection from day one.

Thanks to Zelda’s expertise and dedication, Jet has blossomed into the sweetest, most loving Golden Retriever I could have ever hoped for. He brings so much joy and happiness into my life every day, and I have Zelda to thank for that.

If you’re looking for a reputable breeder who goes above and beyond to ensure the happiness and well-being of her puppies, look no further than Vonladyloch’s. Zelda is truly a gem, and I feel incredibly blessed to have found her.

I recently had the pleasure of welcoming an amazing golden retriever puppy into my home from Vonladyloch Kennel, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. At just 8 weeks old, Zak has already brought so much joy to our family, and we owe it all to Zelda, the wonderful kennel owner.

From the very beginning, Zelda was incredibly communicative and caring. She provided regular updates on Zak’s progress, sharing photos and videos that made the waiting period much more bearable. Her dedication to her puppies and their new families is evident in every interaction.

Even after Zak’s delivery, Zelda has continued to check in, offering valuable advice and support as we navigate the early days of puppy parenting. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being of her dogs and their new homes.

If you’re looking for a reputable, caring kennel, I highly recommend Vonladyloch. Zelda’s commitment to her puppies and their new families is truly exceptional, and we couldn’t be more grateful for our beautiful new addition. Thank you, Zelda, for bringing Zak into our lives!

Best regards

I do not know where to start…

Zelda is not only a fantastic breeder but also a wonderful warm, kind caring person to befriend …

I searched for a good breeder for months, my daughter got annoyed with me for taking so long, but it was so worth it!

Believe me there aren’t manny decent Golden retriever breeders out there..
Zelda is much better than decent or good, she is the best of the best!!

What I love most and appreciated most about her is that she is honest, nothing to hide and the way she treats her animals speaks for itself!!

She loves and treat every puppy like they are her own…

Her breeding program is one in a million!
It’s obvious she has high standards and values and she is not just doing it for the money but for what she believes in.
She believes in the Golden retriever breed and she is sharing this amazing breed with all of us!!

Her dogs are tested, her paper work is up to date.

She is organised and always going a step further than she needs to.

Her communication is next level, and she is approachable and wants to interact with all her clients.

I still ask for advice from her without hesitation..

She is passionate and dedicated and you can see it in all the videos en photo’s she post daily, from birth to 8 weeks.

She is by far the cleanest most neat breeder you could ever imagine!

I am beyond grateful to have connected with Zelda at Vonladyloch’s for my adorable puppies.

She prepares her clients well with invaluable insights into the care and development of each puppy before sending them off to their for ever homes.

Zelda’s commitment to the well-being of her puppies are evident every step of the way.

My one pup did not feel well after deworming and being vaxed… and off she went to the Vet to make sure he was strong enough before sending him to me..

If you’re looking for a reputable breeder who goes above and beyond to ensure the happiness and well-being of her puppies, and their mommy.
Look no further than Vonladyloch’s.

Thank you Zelda, for everything you do.
I feel blessed for getting to know you and for receiving 2 beautiful puppies from you!

May God bless you in abundance!!
