Who We Are
The Pooch Pad is run by Kylie, a part-time PE teacher & full-time dog lover.
I’ve always had pets in my life, growing up with a cocker spaniel who lived to 18 & a Burmese cat who lived to 21! Twenty years ago, I got my first Golden Retriever, a girl called Bryan & I fell head over heels in love with not only Golden Retrievers, but with all dogs & the goodness they bring to all lives.
I’m the person you walk past in the street who smiles at your dog and says hi to them. I‘m the one stopping you just so I can meet your dog, find out their name & give them some pats before going on with the day.
I was a registered breeder with Bryan so have lots of fur grandbabies all around Victoria & interstate.
From the first litter of 11 pups, there was a boisterous boy who was the last one left who I had named Tony. I ‘accidentally’ didn’t renew the advertising for him & had 17 beautiful years with Tony by my side as a much loved family member, only losing him early in 2025. He will forever be a part of my Goldie Gang 🩵
Bryan & Tony were watchful protectors as our family grew with two daughters, who are now 16 & 12, - & who are Assistant Providers of Love, Treats, Pats, Play & Bed Sharers with all of our Pooch Pad holidayers. Two more Goldies joined our family - the sweetest angel Coco in 2017 & a curious bundle of energy named Peanut in 2020.
Tony, Coco & Peanut - The Goldie Gang!
