About Maggie
Maggie is our newest fully health tested girl, she is a super fun and energetic girl to be around. She loved everything and everyone and is generally the life of the party! She is on the tall side at 23” and weights around 55lbs. She earned her CCA this past year as well as her temperament test title. We hope to fair her with show line males to produce some lovely structured dogs that can go in any direction.
Excellent health testing

About Birdie
Birdie is the sweetest girl, she is very calm and stable minded and as confident as the come. She is very well-rounded and loves to be out and about with us but her favorite thing in the world is water. This girl is water obsessed, she can always be found in our kiddie pools or trying to turn dog dishes into her personal mini spas. She comes from mainly pet and service lines and many of her siblings are successful service dogs, one is even a seeing eye dog! Birdie has two puppies of her own currently in service homes as well and one is a naturally alerting cardiac alert dog. Her puppies are consistently confident, easy-going and friendly, with the classic "golden retriever" temperament.

About Ruger
Ruger comes from over 50 generations of hunting retrievers and has some incredible champion, master and senior hunters in his pedigree including many hall of fame dogs! He regularly hunts with us and competes in dock diving, barn hunt, fcat, and scent work. He is training for agility at the moment and will hopefully make his debut within the year. He is a hard worker, loves to swim and retrieve and has the best off-switch of any dog we’ve owned! He is EVERYTHING a field golden is meant to be.

About Tikka
Tikka has blown us away with her confidence, out-going disposition, and how fast she picks up concepts! This girl is SMART, she can solve problems quicker than any of our other dogs and does not quit when she is put to a task! This girl has so much potential! We are actively training with an agility instructor and hope to enter her first trial soon. She's a natural at agility and I hope to be able to take her far in this sport! She is an even-tempered, very happy, wiggly, cuddle-bug of a dog who loves nothing more than sleep on our bed or smother my husband on the couch, she's the kind of dog that could live in your skin if she could. She is also one of our best helper dogs due to her calm disposition and easy going personality, she often helps our trainer buddies by being a "calm neutral dog" with dog's who are reactive or being rehabilitated, and Tikka also helps out by taking on the roll of the "neutral dog" in CGC class testing! Nothing phases this girl, she is as solid as a rock, during fourth of July, she zooms around our yard, hyped up the fireworks. We often can her "tweaker," because she is just high on life. But don't let her usual goofy personality fool you, this girl is as drivey as they come and she can turn it on when it's time to work! She's birdy, has a great nose on her and spends most of her time soaking in the pools or hunting for squirrels and voles in the yard. Although she can turn it on when it's time to work, she has a great off-switch in the house and is a perfect versatile and well-rounded family dog. She can chill inside for days at a time when we're busy but is one of my best running partner dogs. We love Tikka and we plan to keep many puppies from her lines!

About Kimber
We call Kitty our "pocket rocket," at barely 40 pounds she's sharp as a whip, a "thinker," and can outrun just about everyone, she's as fun as they come and is a very serious mature girl. She isn't very "silly" and prefers to co-exist with her adult pack mates and seeks out our younger pups to play with instead. She has quickly become our best "nanny dog for other litters and loves to help take care of puppies that aren't hers! We refer to her as the cool aunt! When she's not busy being a mom or auntie, you can find her on the couch or in the water! She is a maniac in the water and has a lot of "go," she would be considered a high drive, medium-low energy dog, but still has that nice off-switch that we look for and really spend a good amount of her day curled up on our couch or under our chairs! However, even with her high drive she is super sweet and affectionate, on the submissive side and is probably our most submissive girl. She's quick to respond to voice corrections ( and that's ALL she needs) yet is not "soft," and won't shut down or shy away, but collects herself and keeps working! She is our go to camping dog and has a natural loyalty to her, she's not one to stray far from us or go off visiting other dogs and people while we're out camping or hiking. She knows who her people are and sticks close to us. She is a natural at using her nose and is trained for birch oil scent detection, rats in barn hunt, and antler sheds! She has also competed in dock diving and excels at disc as well. So far she is everything we were wanting, tons of drive, medium energy levels with a work ethic to DIE FOR! This girl does NOT quit once asked to complete a task! And the cherry on top: a perfect off-switch! She has two gorgeous litters with us so far and we couldn't be happier with how they have turned out. She'll take a big break from being a mama while some of our other girls take their turns raising pups. We may see a third and final litter from Kimber in 2027!
