Rob was quick to respond to my questions through the good dog app. Rob and his wife were so kind and very informative when we picked our puppy up! They provided packets of detailed information and told us about his personality. Their commitment to sensory stimulation, providing good nutrition, having play time with various toys and mandatory snuggles time show that they truly love raising puppies.

Rob and Jolene were wonderful to work with in getting our sweet puppy. Rob was very responsive through messages and answered any & all questions that I sent (which was quite a lot!). Additionally, them posting regular updates about the pups via their Facebook was SO wonderful. We were able to watch our puppy grow in real time and get to know his/his litter’s personalities. It is evident that Rob and Jolene took great care of our puppy from the day he was born until the day they handed him off. They were incredibly informative about how to care for him at home and gave great resources to ensure a smooth transition. We could not have had a better experience with Lucky Penny Goldens, and we are so happy to be a part of the family! -Maddie & Noah (and Tucker)

Rob was amazing to work with! He was incredibly responsive and gave updates about the litter throughout the entire process. You can tell how much they care about each litter, dog, and their new families. We could not have asked for a better experience and better puppy.

We had a great experience with Lucky Penny Goldens! Rob and Jolene were great to work with and provided helpful advice and instruction on caring for our new pup. We were so grateful for their thoroughness and attentiveness at answering all of our questions, and we left puppy pickup feeling even more confident in our choice to add one of their Goldens to our family. We've also been so impressed with our pup's demeanor. He is certainly a puppy, but settles so nicely and enjoys a balance of calm snuggles and active play. ❤️ Thank you, LPG, for a great experience!

Rob was very responsive and knowledgeable about his dogs and puppies. They consistently provided updates on our litter and helped us choose the best pup for our family. Our puppy is the absolute sweetest little guy! We’ve had him for over 4 weeks and he has adjusted so well to being a part of our family. We can tell he had a solid foundation with his mom, littermates, Rob and Jolene!
