Gem, mom
Golden Retriever
About Gem
Gem came to us from a breeder in Europe who actively competes in conformation. She has lovely conformation herself, is incredibly calm for her young age, and is gentle-natured. She’s wonderful with all (adults,kids/babies,dogs). She enjoys going for walks, belly rubs, and has great food drive which makes her easy to train. She isn’t much of a playful dog and is more so of a couch potato that wants to lounge all day.
Bella, mom
Golden Retriever
About Bella
Bella is a very easy-going girl. She is neutral to people and dogs in public making her easy to take anywhere. She loves everyone and is great with children. She enjoys playing with our other dogs, going on hikes, and hanging with the family.
