    I searched for a year for a responsible breeder and found Jodie at Meadow Creek Goldens. She is very knowledgeable about the breed and ensures that the puppies are well socialized prior to going home. Jodie was very responsive to questions and would update with pictures. Our Rosie May is very intelligent and has trained easily.

    Jodie was really responsive to our questions and messages. She sent regular updates and pictures of our puppy. Jodie and her family were very welcoming and friendly, and it was apparent they are experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to raising and caring for Golden Retrievers.

    We got our puppy from Jodie, his name is bubba Gus and he is the best dog, he’s better behaved then we could have ever imagined, Jodie did a great job getting him ready and helping with potty training and his name as well and introducing him to swimming, we have now taken him to creeks and to swim in the river and he’s such a good swimmer and loves it! We really appreciate Jodie working with us to get Bubba Gus!

    Jodie was a great breeder to work with I was able to visit my puppy before I took him home and get to see him growing up. Oliver is my dream dog and Jodie made that dream come true.
