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

It all started when I was very small, my very favorite Aunt bred German Shepherds and so did a neighbor of mine growing up...The neighbor is still breeding Shepherds 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 Saint 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...until  "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,
