30 Years Experience

In a nutshell...

We not only breed the finest English dogs in all of Thailand, but through selective gene propagation, we strive to make the world’s healthiest, intelligent dogs with excellent temperaments that will make a loving addition to your family.

Meet 34 years of British Excellence

Established in 1988, Northern-Lites French Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers are purebred descendants that carry the highest-quality genetic material from a long line of healthy ancestors.

Nevertheless, we ensure that all our dogs are DNA tested to highlight, eradicate, and protect future bloodlines from any potential health issues.

The result is a generational transfer of good temperament, health, and adaptability which make our dogs great companions for young children and other pets in the family.

Ever curious and always alert, Northern-Lites French Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers are fiercely protective of their family members. But deep within, they’re lovers not fighters. And operate under the assumption that there is a friend in every strange face they meet.

Our dogs wear calm confidence that makes them ideal companions for city walks and most outdoor events. Northern-Lites French Bulldogs and Golden Retrievers display remarkable smartness that makes them sweet to train and an attentive nature that stems from a deep affection for their loved ones.

Finally, there’s the gentle nature and dominant personality that draws smiles and questions wherever they go…

Northern-Lites : A Tradition of Excellence

Quality breeding is a delicate science tempered with art. Here at Northern-Lites , we understand the science of developing healthy puppies through solid bloodlines and the practical art of raising beautiful, healthy, and affectionate dogs and making them available to responsible dog-loving families.

Ethical and loving breeding standards are non-negotiable to us. For more than 30 years, we’ve consistently been raising exceptional puppies in a loving family environment. Our goal is not just to breed French Bulldog and Golden Retriever puppies… we are dedicated to improving both breeds and all our puppies are proof of that dedication to strict and selective breeding.

We want your bundle of joy to bring you happiness wherever you may be in Thailand, Phuket, Bangkok, Pattayra, or Chaing mai. And we want our puppies to be happy with their new families, too!

The journey to perfect love

Breeding dogs that are the perfect addition to a loving family did not happen overnight. It started with a simple observation while training dogs for competitive sports, and took a lot of hard work and commitment to bring the loveliest, most intelligent, and well-behaved dog to your home.

Transforming families

Each cuddly, bundle of joy that we raise here at Northern-Lites is taught all the good manners they need to get along with adults, children, and other pets in their new family. But you can’t teach a dog to have a different temperament – you can only manage them.

That’s why we carefully select the best parent material for mating from a long list of ancestors with the highest-quality genes and the set of behaviours required in a responsible dog-loving family.

We’ve worked across several generations to create an ethically raised breed of dogs that fill their families with joy, fun, and lots of amusing moments.

How we got here.

My name is Dawan Kongkaew and I am a modern canine trainer and behaviourist by heart. The journey to what is now Northern-Lites began in 1988 when I first picked an interest in the world of gundogs. My first dog was immensely fast, biddable, and a pleasure to work with.

At the peak of his life, I mated him with an even faster yet calmer female retriever to preserve those qualities that made him the envy of everyone at the local gundog club. This was where my lessons in the delicate science and practical art of raising healthy and affectionate dogs came from. And to this day, those lessons remain at the core of our elite dog breeding program.

Protecting the future.

I began tracking my dogs’ DNA and testing their potential mating partners way back in early 2002 when DNA tests were £2000 and took 14 days to complete.

The goal has always been to ensure that I do not propagate offspring with genetic defects that could be avoided through proper screening.

35 years of working with dogs has given me a unique look into the dog breeding world… And, everything I learnt has gone into creating the Golden Retrievers and French Bulldogs.
