The Difference Between Something Good and Something Great
Passion for dogs means more than simply loving them. When we talk about owning a dog with a pedigree, descending from national or international champions, we are talking about a dog that possesses all the correct characteristics of its breed. We are talking about quality that comes with a price, about prestige, determination, an enormous amount of time, and a significant investment — all dedicated to the love of canine companions that are bred for show and breeding
The kennel affix Clear Passion was registered in 2007
At present, our kennel includes outstanding bloodlines from benchmark kennels in Europe. The Moondust line was introduced through the breeding we carried out in 2008 with the World Champion Moondust Masterpiece, a breeding from which we retained three dogs in our kennel, all of which confirmed their quality in shows and through their offspring, as well as through the import of the two Moondust dogs: Moondust Highlander and Moondust Estacy.
The Dewmist line is present through the breedings carried out with the famous Dewmist Silk Screen, probably one of the most titled dogs of the present time, a double World Champion and European Champion, as well as through a breeding with the Junior World Champion Dewmist Hope of Harlequin.
We also have dogs imported from the Spanish kennel Zampanzar, the Spanish kennel Kurtuba, the French kennel De’l Hubac de Gaget, the Dutch kennel Ramchaine, and the Norwegian kennel Vestafjell’s.
Throughout more than 21 years of activity in the canine world, years dedicated to understanding and selecting the Golden Retriever breed in the most serious way possible, we have collaborated with multiple top European kennels both for the remarkable imports we have made and for access to elite stud dogs used in breedings with our own females. From these breedings we have always tried to retain within the kennel at least one dog to carry forward the new bloodlines.

Of course, you must demonstrate a great deal of seriousness and responsibility in order to earn the trust of a kennel of international reputation. The proof comes from the results you achieve by participating 
consistently at dog shows, the responsibility of finding the right family in the case of selling puppies that are not retained in the kennel, and, last but not least, the way your passion shines through and is visible in both your public and private life. I believe that the responsibility you assume when you own a valuable Golden Retriever will make you spare no effort and will lead you to invest both money and time to present the dog at the shows it needs in order to become a national and international champion.
Because of the enormous investment we make in a breeding dog within our kennel, we also make a significant investment in testing its health. I combine these two paths to produce high-quality puppies born in my kennel, and I carry out health testing only at clinics recognized by the FCI. A puppy carrying the name Clear Passion will have tested parents, and at least the father will be a champion, if not a multiple champion. These details, which will appear on the puppy’s pedigree certificate, are not mere formalities—they are a guarantee that the dog will mature possessing all the characteristics of this magnificent breed, the Golden Retriever.
A pedigree without these details only confirms that you are on the right track, and with your next dog you will certainly want one that comes from a champion bloodline. But think about it… you are buying a dog for a lifetime, and the emotional and financial investment in food, care, and treatments is the same, yet you will not have the same satisfaction. You will surely notice the difference between something good and something great.
For those who wish to visit a kennel, I recommend approaching the breeder with a positive and trusting attitude. Visitors must follow the house rules and respect the scheduled time and day of their visit.
Mutual trust is very important for completing an adoption, and we always aim to develop friendships with those who have a Clear Passion dog as a companion.
I strive to provide as much detailed information as possible about the most difficult period in a puppy’s life—the transition from the breeders home to the new home—precisely in order to prevent health problems caused by this stressful factor.
A commitment to the healthy development of puppies and the well-being of all animals is evident in a kennel where a true passion for dogs comes first. Andreea Cletiu – Clear Passion kennel
strives to improve the quality of our breeding program with every new generation of dogs. Our goal is to produce healthy puppies with correct conformation and sound physical health, while also reflecting the loving temperament that is characteristic of the breed.
I have been passionate about showing dogs in conformation events for over 20 years, earning numerous Championship titles and class placements at prestigious shows such as the European Dog Show, World Dog Show, and short listed at Crufts. My goal has always been to raise high-quality representatives of the Golden Retriever breed— dogs that shine not only in the show ring, but also in their everyday lives as loving companions.
