Q. & A. with Genevieve

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our reason WHY is different than most breeders. After getting a Service Dog for our disabled son our lives changed in a miraculous way. Our journey into sharing Mary's innate talents and abilities w/the world in the form of Service and Therapy prospects began and we have not looked back. We are dedicated to health testing after raising incredibly sick adopted dogs who were bred irresponsibly

  • What makes your program special?

    We do EVERY health test available on the market, 8 total, Our C.A.R.E's program removes financial barriers for disabled children on low income. Our mama's & neonate are seen regularly by a Repro Vet. Our program is full transparency w/medical records, how and where puppies are raised. We perform a third party canine psychology evaluation & have a climate pledge & don't use herbicide/pesticide

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

    Our puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Genevieve was very responsive and easy to communicate with! We were looking for an ethical breeder that we felt confident wanted the best for her sweet puppies but also for us! She made the entire process extremely easy! She even helped us get our sweet new puppy all the way from Utah to Colorado for free with another family :) Golden Meadows does extensive testing and health checks on their puppies to make sure everyone not only goes to the perfect home but also are healthy and happy! We could not recommend them enough we are so happy with our new family member and have such peace of mind knowing she came from Genevieves home. It is hard to find a reputable, ethical and trusting breeder but thats exactly how Genevieve is!

    Genevieve has been the most wonderful breeder I have ever worked with, she really cares about the health and well being of her pup, has been super transparent with everything going on, and helped us through the whole process. Me and my husband were wanting another pup after we lost our other dog, as well as a dog with the prospect to become my service animal. she helped walk us through each pup, their temperament and what they would be suited for, and in the end we chose our beautiful little Bear. His first night home was really good, no accidents in the house and is such a love bug. Genevieve also has been checking in on things and giving us tips and tricks, she is a wonderful person and I look forward to being a part of the Golden Meadows family

    Genevieve is an excellent breeder and goes to great lengths to ensure her puppies are of the highest caliber in health and temperament. She is so deeply passionate about the breed, and cares for her puppies with the highest degree of attention and love. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to training, behavior, and health of the dogs-- and makes herself available from your initial contact with her, throughout the rest of your dog's life. She goes above and beyond what anyone would imagine to make sure her puppies are in good care and they are placed in safe and happy homes. I could not be more happy with my puppy, Lennie. He is simply perfect in every way! I recommend Genevieve as a breeder, and her incredible dogs, to the highest degree! Top notch!

    Genevieve provided clear communication, was transparent and thorough, and took excellent care in both her genetic/health testing of her breeding pair, as well as early puppy training and desensitization.

    I live part time in Park City Utah and my other home is Los Angeles California. This past summer I decided it was time to seek out a canine companion to accompany me on the frequent hiking I do in summer in the Wasatch mountains. Specifically I wanted a Golden Retriever. I could write an essay on how stunned and impressed I am by the baby I ultimately chose at just 2 weeks old or rather the baby who chose ME. I had to wait another month or so to bring my puppy home but it was worth every second of that wait. Chloe my little cream colored girl is the sweetest most loving animal I have ever encountered in my life. But most astonishing is how this baby flew to me with a flight nanny , was handed over to me in Burbank airport , and from that moment on has been so loving, so incredibly tuned in and intelligent , her innate empathy and ability to offer exactly what I need at any given moment has left me simply astounded. Today was our first full day together and she has literally understood all I wanted of her . Chloe is very playful yet not destructive in spite of boundless puppy energy .She is comfortable in her own skin. When it came time for bed my baby settled right in beside me and went to sleep. She needs t6 be house broken but what puppy doesn't.? I don't expect that to be a difficult issue at all. My Chloe is a dream dog in every sense of the word. I also want to mention how invested Genevieve is in her puppies. Every moment of her day is devoted to her current litters , she cares so deeply for them and it became increasingly apparent as I visited my puppy prior to taking ownership just how meticulous she is about producing ,caring for and offering the best puppies out there . In a world where so many innocent puppies are little more than a financial endeavor , Golden Meadows of Utah stands out as a true labor of love. 5 stars all the way . I could not be happier with my beautiful ,sweet and gentle girl. Thank you so much Genevieve for the work and love you invest in breeding these beautiful dogs .

    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
