    We are so thankful for our experience with Mary. She was kind, responsive, and very organized throughout the whole process. She shared updates, answered our questions, and clearly cares deeply about her puppies. Our puppy is healthy, sweet, and already a beloved member of our family. It’s obvious he was raised in a loving and responsible environment. Pickup was smooth and pleasant, and Mary and her daughter made everything easy for us. We truly appreciate their care and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful puppy.

    Mary and her mom are so sweet! You can tell they really care about their pack! Mary made the purchase process seamless, with tons of photos and updates. She even did clips of the available puppies, so as to make the choosing easier! Our pup Rosie (formerly Christina from Grinch litter) got checked out at the vet yesterday- perfect and healthy as can be! Thank you Mary & family! We love our new family member 💛

    We had an amazing experience with Mary and her daughter at Lawson’s Green Acres Goldens and Mini Dachshunds. From making our first enquiry to picking Maverick up the whole process has been simple, transparent and straight forward. We have brought home an already well cared for beautifully natured puppy. I am so grateful and thankful to you for healing my heart with sweet Maverick.

    I truly couldn’t have asked for a better breeder for my new golden pup then Jessica & Mary. From the very beginning, the level of care and communication was exceptional. I received consistent updates, photos, and FaceTimes, and at one point, my entire family even hopped on a Zoom just to see the puppies together. That kind of transparency and access meant so much. It was clear this wasn’t just a breeding program: it was a deeply intentional, hands-on experience. Every question I had was answered thoughtfully, whether it was about health testing, temperament, early socialization, or the transition home. You can feel the difference in the puppies. Mine came home confident, curious, and already so well-adjusted, which speaks volumes about the environment and care they were raised in. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and would recommend this breeder without hesitation to anyone looking for a golden raised with integrity, love, and intention.
