Q. & A. with David

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Have had Goldens for 36 years now. They are the best Breed to raise, very smart. New Years Eve years is when the Dogs Mated, 9 years ago. That is what we did for months afterwards bringing lots of Joy into the Home. Sometimes there are older pups for sale as most people want young, little ones. We do not ship them. Want to know who, where they are going, even if it means keeping them longer what is best for them. When Covid was here the entire Litter was sold before they were born. The shelters are full and sometimes it takes longer to place them. No fault of the animal at all. A lot of times the older ones are potty, crate trained also.

  • What makes your program special?

    We traveled many miles to get the Females. Over 750 miles one way. This broke up the Blood Lines for a Lower COI factor, Coefficient of Inbreeding as too much in breeding is taking place, Swapping around the local dogs is what usually happens. This was for the Betterment of the Breed. The 4 Generation Pedigrees show no relations at all. Very Important as this produces Better Genetics in the Puppies. Longer life span, bone density, less chances of getting cancer, genetic diseases, adult size, Higher Intelligence, better Skin, Coat, Better Hips, Elbows, Fewer Veterinary bills over time etc. OFA testing done on HIPS, ELBOWS, HEART, EYES and Full Genetic panel Clearances, DNA work is Complete!!

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

    Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Dave, I am so pleased with our beautiful Poppy. She is really blossoming. She knows sit, down, place, heel, and is learning to watch me while walking. She is close to being fully potty trained! We are delighted with her. Jeanette and Tom Hills

    David is very responsive and careful to send his pups to good homes. He takes extreme care to ensure there is no inbreeding and that his dogs genetics are clean. Our little girl is very sweet and healthy. We would have liked a little more information about her personality and to take a little more time getting to know her before bringing her home. David is clearly fond of his dogs and takes very good care to ensure they are well bred and healthy

    David was very warm, welcoming and very knowledgeable regarding his puppies and dogs. The whole process was smooth and I am happy to report little Daisy has settled in her new home. She is a healthy, happy and playful pulp with full of energy and is 55lbs at 6 months old! I almost never leave online reviews, however this experience was sooo positive that it deserves an exception! For anyone having second thoughts/hesitation i would like to ease any concerns of yours, David and Daisy(puppy) are absolutely great!

    I had a truly wonderful experience getting a puppy from David! He called me right away and spoke with me at length about the genetics, health, and background of his goldens and provided a ton of useful advice as well. He clearly loves his dogs and wants to make sure they end up in good homes, and he even drove to a pet store to meet us and help us getting everything we needed for our pup. I feel very fortunate to have found David and we love our sweet puppy he is a wonder little guy! I would definitely recommend David he is a wonderful breeder and overall human!
