    We are so happy that we found and chose Jenny. She was very responsive from the get-go, and is very knowledgeable about golden retrievers and the care they need. We brought our puppy home at 10 weeks. Jenny was kind enough to care for him for the extra two weeks and also make sure he was up-to-date with his 10 week vaccine. It was super easy to coordinate with Jenny while picking up our puppy from Nashville airport. After we brought him home, we found him to be very well behaved - which speaks a lot to how Jenny took care of him while he was under her care. He took to crate training very easily and was desensitized to sounds (we live in NYC and our pup barely flinches at the noises here). Jenny stays in touch before, during and after you get your pup - which we personally love. It shows that she truly cares about her babies and their wellbeing even after they’ve left her home. If we were to get another puppy, we have no doubts that we would be reaching out to Jenny again!

    We were introduced to Jenny through a mutual preschool mom, and from the moment I reached out, she was so welcoming and kind. She took the time to understand our family and helped us find the perfect dog to fit right in. The whole process was smooth, and Jenny made it so easy. We couldn’t be more in love with our little guy—he’s the best addition to our family, and we’re so grateful to Jenny for bringing him into our lives! The Rays!

    Jenny was responsive and knowledgeable. We talked and she helped me select a puppy that would be the best fit for our family. Even after brining our puppy home she has been incredibly helpful, answering all my puppy-related questions. We are so in love with our beautiful and sweet puppy, and are forever grateful to Jenny at Dale Hollow Goldens for bringing him into our family ❤️

    Jenny was amazing and so is Riley! She answered every question that we had and provided any and all information we requested. Riley was absolutely amazing on the long car ride home making it obvious that she works hard to insure her pups are well adjusted to be able to adapt to their new surroundings. We are very happy with our pup, Jenny and Dale Hollow Goldens

    I’m so grateful to have found Jenny and Dale Hollow Goldens! The thoroughness of her health testing and genetic testing helped us feel confident that our puppy has the best chance at a long and healthy life. Jenny was quick to respond and answer questions, and had clear, straightforward information on both her website and the Good Dog site. I appreciated being able to download and read her contract early in the process. Our Dale Hollow Goldens puppy is absolutely wonderful: she is healthy, beautiful, and confident. We’re in love, and are looking forward to many years with our new family member!

    I wanted a golden retriever pup for my fiance and I was planning to surprise her in our wedding ceremony. Jenny was quick to help me get one when it was convenient for me. She met me half way and really helped my plan come together. She was quick with her responses and explained everything so clearly. I would definitely recommend this breeder family!
