A little about Nautilus Goldens and how I started....

It all started when I was very small, my very favorite Aunt bred German Shepard's, and so did a neighbor of my growing up...The neighbor is still breeding Shepard's and is also an AKC Judge.

Then I bought my first show dog in 1975, with my whole pay check for 100.00.  
 It was a female ST. Bernard,  by 1980 I decided I wanted something smaller...and genetically sounder.
So that's when I bought my first Golden Retriever....
Which was "Graham" Seaveiw's Nautilus Graham, and after learning some valuable lessons about
showing ,training ,breeding, & breed type .
I also went through my fair share of dogs...till  "Jade"   Am. Can. Bda. Ch. Twin-Beau-D-Nautilus Seastar O.D.
and that is when it all began my quest to offer the breed what I can to help breed correct GOLDEN RETRIEVERS.
Jade began a long line of strong bitches to help carry out great breed type.

Enjoy your visit with the Nautilus dogs,
