Sponsorship/Stall Holder Interest

Sponsorship is your chance to be part of something joyful, community-driven, and unforgettable, where hundreds of Golden Retrievers and their humans come together in one place.

By becoming a sponsor, you’re not just supporting an event, you’re helping create shared experiences, lasting memories, and a celebration of our Golden friends.

We would also love to hear from any businesses that would like to have a stall at our event - it's free!

Complete the form below and let’s explore how we can work together to make Golden Gathering 2026 truly golden.

SUPPORTING OUR EVENT

Our Fabulous Event Sponsors

NZ Golden Retriever Gathering 2026 would not be possible without the generous businesses supporting our very first event in Taupo.

Every sponsor listed below has helped bring 200 Golden Retrievers and their families together for a day of fun, connection and community, with proceeds going to Hospice Taupō.

We are so grateful for their support and encourage everyone in our community to shop with and thank these wonderful businesses whenever they can.

Major Sponsor: Superior Pet Food Co

A heartfelt thank you to our first Major Sponsor, Superior Pet Food Co.

As a proudly NZ made pet food company, Superior Pet Food Co shares our passion for keeping Golden Retrievers happy, healthy and thriving on quality nutrition.

Their generous support has helped make the NZ Golden Retriever Gathering 2026 possible, and we are thrilled to have them behind our first ever event in Taupo.

Major Treat Sponsor: Mak's Patch

We are also delighted to introduce our Major Treat Sponsor, Mak's Patch. Mak's Patch makes natural dog treats from fruits and vegetables, gentle on sensitive tummies and ideal for dogs with allergies.

They have generously donated 200 bags of training treats, one for every registered dog, plus a Spend and Save voucher so you can try Mak's Patch for yourself at home.

The Mak's Patch team can't join us in person on the day, but their generosity behind the scenes has made a real difference to this event, and we could not be more thankful.

Event Photographer: Dianne Derbyshire Photography

Dianne Derbyshire Photography is joining us as the official photographer and sponsor of the Golden Retriever Gathering 2026!

Dianne will be bringing a special doggy photobooth along to the Gathering, giving your Golden the chance to star in their very own portrait session. Bring along a favourite toy, treat or prop to help capture their unique personality. And for the well-behaved Goldens, there may even be a few treats involved! After your photo session, you’ll receive access to an online gallery where you can view your images and order prints or other products, which can be delivered directly to you. Digital files will also be available to purchase.

We’re excited to have Dianne capturing some of the unforgettable faces, wagging tails and Golden moments from the day. Be sure to visit her page and say hello!

We would also like to thank:
