If you're looking for a golden retriever puppy, look no further than Joe and Tanya Lair's Golden Girls Adventures! These guys genuinely KNOW and LOVE what they do. They are careful with the genetics, focused on health care, and attentive to the overall well-being of each and every puppy they have. This is no puppy mill. Their dogs are family. Working with them through the entire process of getting our new retriever was a pleasure and we highly recommend them. Can't say enough good about them.

Joe and Tanya were amazing to work with. We received lots of updates and worked closely with them to find the right puppy for our family. We would encourage anyone looking for a golden retriever puppy to contact them. The dogs are gorgeous and the temperaments are loving and gentle.
