Q. & A. with Pam

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We had beautiful Goldens that supported our autistic daughter and we started getting puppy requests & referrals from our special needs family network & golden lovers. Our pups have become companion dogs & service dogs that have made a difference in their families. We find it to be a labor of love that we enjoy. Our reputation is strong, with many repeat families & referrals, & pups adopted by vets.

    We don't raise pups in kennels or outbuildings. Each litter is raised in our family room, given baby names, fed premium food/vitamins & loved from day one. We screen families for fit, provide them with extensive care information & current research for good pup health plus include 4 wk training classes/Q&A sessions with our expert trainer. We often have openings so please reach out via our website or Instagram (same name).

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Pam was amazing and helped me find a dream dog! Enzo became available after someone returned him and was the perfect match for us. We specially wanted a puppy from Wyatt and Chanel and just got lucky when he suddenly became available! He’s such a sweet boy and is very playful. He’s also very smart for his age and learns things fast!

    Pam was terrific every step of the way. Our family appreciates greatly in how she communicated, provided updates on Teddy's (our goldie) growth and wellbeing prior to adoption day, and additional information to have everything ready to bring him home and what to organize afterwards. Anyone who looks at adopting through her will be able to see how strongly she cares about her dogs and the families that they get adopted into. Our family feels very blessed to have found Pam through Gooddog. We heard various stories about dogs not being taken care of well, or a person disappearing after initial deposit...Gooddog provided a safe and trusting platform and Pam reinforced that feeling in our coordination. Thank you both, Gooddog and Pam!
