About Kala
Kala is a first-generation US born with a rich European heritiage girl born to Dutchess and Nate, both direct European imports from the renowned Tramin Kennels, known for breeding show-quality Golden Retrievers. Kala is fully health tested with perfect scores. She stands out with her exceptional show coat that remains remarkably clean, almost as if she never gets dirty. Her temperament is characterized by sweetness, gentleness, and kindness. Kala is known for her ever-wagging tail and her ability to convey happiness through her "eye smiles." She shares her home at 16 Paws Goldens in Leavenworth, WA, with three other Golden Retrievers, one black cat, and two humans, forming a loving and harmonious family.
