    We are so very thankful to have had Genevieve & Good Dog to work with in the purchase of our 1 yr old Nala. Genevieve was so helpful with the transition process. She answered all our questions and provided all the health records for our little girl. She sent us home with a Tote Bag full of her dog food, treats, chews, chew toys, fun toys, harness, etc. That was very generous of her. She took pictures of us & Nala and said her goodbyes. It was very difficult for her to lose Nala as she is such an amazing dog! She is already the Love of Our Life! Thank you, Genevieve!! Linda and Andy

    Genevieve is such a nice, amazing person to work with. I applied for a retriever for my daughter but she helped match my daughter up with another dog she had that wasn't even posted yet that matches much more to our girls personality. Which is definitely something to look for when choosing a breeder, a breeder that does not send any pet home to someone to just make money, but to help you find the right fit to help make it a forever home. We have not had dogs in years, so we definitely have a lot of questions which she is more than happy to answer pretty quick and give great advice. She even made a training video for me to help get the big girl in the car. I love that she is there for you after adoption to help with advice and training. It was extremely helpful giving a tote of toys she loves and snacks. Definitely recommend her if you are looking for a pure bred Golden Retriever.

    Genevieve is an incredibly trustworthy and caring breeder with a very high level of knowledge and care for her litters and forever families. We appreciated her constant willingness to communicate with us throughout the picking process and so forth. She has made this process a great experience.

    We had an amazing experience with Genevieve and Golden Meadows of Utah. Genevieve is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her dogs. It is clear how much time and effort she puts into raising healthy, well-socialized puppies. I purchased a 6-month-old Golden Retriever, and she is everything we could have hoped for, sweet, well-behaved, and incredibly easy to transition into our home. Genevieve was transparent, responsive, and always willing to answer our questions. I highly recommend Golden Meadows of Utah to anyone looking for a Golden Retriever. You can tell they care about the health, longevity, and happiness of every dog they raise.

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Genevieve and Golden Meadows, and could not recommend her more highly. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, and it was clear how deeply she cares about her work and, most importantly, about every one of her pups. Her knowledge, transparency, and commitment to both the medical and psychological well-being of her dogs truly set her apart. She was so accommodating throughout the visiting and selection process, opening her home to us and making sure we felt comfortable, informed, and confident in our decision. We never felt rushed or pressured, only supported in finding the right fit for our lifestyle. Her breeding practices speak for themselves. Our puppy came to us already crate-trained and puppy pad trained, which made the transition home so much smoother than we ever expected. On top of that, his temperament is fantastic, which we credit to the thoughtful psychological evaluations she conducts with her litters. The framework she provided ahead of time helped us understand what to expect from each puppy’s personality and made the entire decision-making process much easier and more informed. We are completely in love with our puppy and feel so grateful to have found a breeder who is this ethical, intentional, and genuinely invested in setting both the dogs and their future families up for success. If you’re looking for a breeder who truly goes above and beyond, look no further.

    Genevieve was nothing short of amazing during our search for our girl Remi. She is knowledgeable and communicative, and the love she has for her dogs is incredible. We highly recommend reaching out to Genevieve when you are searching for the perfect puppy! We know that no matter the date or time, she will help us in our journey of Golden Retriever ownership. I highly recommend Genevieve and Golden Meadows of Utah.
