I'm Tammy R., the breeder behind Fiddle In Gold Retrievers located in Terre Haute, IN. Fiddle In Gold Retrievers is focused on providing quality healthy puppies that are not only beautiful, but healthy and happy! I go to Europe, meet the breeder, fly pup home and raise to be part of my family. At two years old I do all health testing and add to my small breeding program, offering a few litters a year. Don't let distance stop you, I cross oceans for the parents!

About LOVE
I flew to Italy to get Love as a puppy. I'm still pinching myself. She is royally bred, the perfect example of what a Golden girl should be. I raised Love and she is part of my family. I am a small program and I believe after breeding Spanish horses for 25+ years, foundation in a breeding program is most important! Foundation that first and foremost has healthy, proven lines... Love scored EXCELLENT on her hips at three years old, great normal elbows, pasted her OFA heart & eye Certifications, and has never been ill a day in her life. She's very intelligent, not as smart as Penumbra, she's so smart it's freaky, but Love is smart and minds well, is very loving dog that loves people, kids, other animals and is a joy to be around. I kept a male puppy from her last litter, my Floki, he's my cover photo for this post... I'm very excited and anxious for the puppies and praying all goes well... I will have a few puppies available for the families that appreciate great health clearances, bred to the hilt puppies that have 40+ years of prestigious breeding behind them... Jako's Nordic Charm line offers all of these things and I'm super excited to see the puppies.. don't hesitate, I promise you will be very very pleased with your puppy! Thanks for reading all about Love and feel free to ask me anything...

No complaints , everybody is thrilled with Penumbra's puppies!

About Kari Lou
I went to Finland to Majik Kennel for my first female golden, and brought back Majik Con Brio as a puppy and raised. I bred her to a dog in Pennsylvania, imported from Spain, Thevenet Macho Man. I kept a female and named her Kari Lou in honor of Kari Lehtonen of Majik Kennel and my middle name Lou. She is everything I'd hoped for and more, she's one of the best mothers I've ever had, she's smart, beautiful and produces the most beautiful puppies! Her prior litter with Johnny is fabulous as well, new families are thrilled with their puppy & will highly recommend a puppy from Johnny & Kari Lou 🥰

Tammy definitely made my decision to go through her very easy. She had great communication, tons of information and pictures. Not only about the puppy but his parents and grandparents. I’m very happy with my new best friend thanks to Tammy

Tammy was very quick to respond to my questions and helped me pick the right puppy for my household. She’s playful and smart and fits in so perfectly with my other dog. They’re Already best friends! I would highly recommend getting a pup from Tammy and the Good Dog site made me feel comfortable that I was working with a conscientious breeder.
