What a fabulous experience obtaining our beloved Golden puppy. Our puppy is physically perfect and in temperament and disposition. Jeanette has breed fabulous puppies. The kennel was spotless and the dogs and puppies were obviously happy and healthy. I have a complete file on my puppy and direct access to Jeanetta which is comforting beyond words. We highly recommend this excellent kennel to anyone looking for ethical, dog-centric kennel. I am in love with my puppy!!!
