Meet the breeder
I'm Mercedee L., the breeder behind Home Sweet Goldens located in Orting, WA. To be honest, our dogs truly live their best life. We have a large fully fenced back yard in which the dogs share with our two Nigerian dwarf goats (Stella & Luna). Our dogs are exposed to all that life has to offer and more. We are avid outdoor people and our dogs are always at our side. Our days are filled year-round with outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, swimming, hiking, gatherings with friends and family, local dog parks and walking trails- ALL of which our dogs join us in. Our dogs LOVE to be around people and other animals, they thrive on the affection from others and are extremely eager to please. Let’s just say they have not yet met anyone they didn’t get along with, humans and animal. Our breeding dogs are OFA health tested and genetically clear of diseases.

Mercedee has been incredible from day 1. She went above and beyond in her communication, picture taking and fun weekly updates on all the littermates, their weights and mannerisms. This was the best experience not only for me, but also my three boys. Mercedee even played into the Christmas surprise when we went to pick out our puppy, as the boys were still unaware we "were not on a waiting list." I can't say enough and highly recommend Home Sweet Goldens! I feel like we found not only an incredible dog breeder, but connected with a very special family who will always hold a special place in our hearts for bringing our amazing Ellie "Noel" into the world. Thank you Mercedee! You are a special person and have an amazing gift. Keep shining bright and sharing your love through your beautiful dogs, Kimber and Copper! 🙏🐶💕
