    Kaylynn with Goosetown Goldens was fantastic to work with. You can tell how invested she is in the puppies themselves and wants to see them succeed. TALK ABOUT organized. One of the things that made me comfortable flying across the country for a puppy was the level of organization Kaylynn brings to the table. The website, the fact that she required an actual scheduled phone call prior to getting on a waitlist, speedy communication and even at puppy pick up she was so well prepared. You can tell how much time she puts in to making all the information accessible and straightforward. I ran into issues getting to my scheduled pick up time due to weather/travel and she was extremely easy to work with when I was finally able to get my flights rescheduled. It's also easy to see how committed they are to their pups past the point of sale. I received multiple check in's asking how my puppy traveled and was settling in the first few weeks along with an open invite to reach out if I ever had any questions or issues! Our pup is now 12 weeks old and we can't thank Goosetown Goldens enough for doing what they do so well and blessing us with one of their pups!

    Goosetown Goldens is WONDERFUL! I just can't say enough good about them. They are caring and conscientious breeders, which means a lot to me. I loved the weekly updates and photos, and if I had any questions in-between weekly contacts they were very prompt to fully answer and address my question. When picking up my puppy they provided full medical and linage history, along with a care package of his favorite chew toys, a blanket with mom’s scent, treats, leash, collar, and other things to help make puppy’s transition to his new home pleasant and enjoyable. I also bought six bags of puppy food through them as well and was very easy going, I highly recommend Goosetown Goldens.
