Together with my husband Ricardo Neves, we have started the Angelusparks affix in 2004. With
only eleven litters breed, six in Flatcoated Retriever and five in Golden
Retriever, we have proudly owned and breed dogs that hold between them Forty-one Show Champion Titles, and
many more with other Show Titles, Winners, Class and Breed winners in many countries in
Europe, in the U.S.A and in India.
Our affix is a word that was made by the combination of other two, Angelus from Latim Angels and Sparks. Our "four paws" are our sparkles of Angels.

Besides showing our team we work them in
Gundog Work and also in Search and Rescue. In these last twelve years, in Flatcoated
Retriever we have won seven Best of Breed of the Year with five different dogs
and in Golden Retriever three (JE; JP Angelusparks Enya's Caytlin BOB10 owner Marta Flores), and special boy Ch Angelusparks Eclipse was the Best
Golden Retriever of the year twice, sadly we lost him at only 2 years with tick fever.

After losing Clipper, we lost for a while our "heart" in showing Golden Retriever and due to it his sister was not really shown for a big wile, sadly as she had won BIS in two different countries, group placings in the 8th Group and in the Junior Competitions. In 2015 we decided to show her again and we achieved our most proud moment so far! In the Portuguese Retriever Club Show we had two of our breeding in the three best places in the final. Our lovely Ch Angelusparks Elsa’s Eternal Bliss was Best in Show and Ch Angelusparks III Fabulous By Nature (owner Mario di Serafim) was 3rd Best in Show.
We are extremely proud
of them all whatever they do: show, work or simply loving and caring family
members. Our aim is to breed the most loving Golden and Flatcoated Retriever,
with the best of temperaments and health and always do the best for the breeds
we have.
They are our family!
