About us
Kennel Glamour Shine is jointly owned by two friends - Marijana Račić and Anna Weber. The kennel was registered in 2008. initially on the name of Marijana's mother Zrinka Račić, because Marijana was underage. Marijana has masters degree in economics and business while Anna is law student. They are connected with more than 10 years of friendship and they met through the love for dogs, and dog shows. While Marijana's first and the biggest love are golden retrievers, Anna's first love is and always will be Flat coated retriever. Because of that, they welcomed their first Flattie in 2018, wonderful female "Nala" - Black Pearl Axwell who came from Czech Republic and brought some changes in golden monotony :).
The kennel Glamour Shine is located in small village Habjanovac, 50ish kilometers away of center of Zagreb. Life in the countryside is ideal for dogs who likes to run, play, swim and go into walks in the nature. With our dogs we regularly work for hunting exams and dog shows. Some of dogs from Glamour Shine breeding went as show and breeding dogs in kennels abroad, some are working as service dogs but the majority of them are living like beloved pets in Croatia, but also in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Serbia, Romania, Hungary, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, France, Spain, Luxemburg, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, United Kingdom, Belgium, Poland, Iceland and United States of America.

During the years they imported dogs from Belgium, Spain, Finland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, always basing breeding and choosing breeding lines on health, temperament and type.
